Canvas art has become increasingly popular in home decor, and its versatility is part of its appeal. You can have just about anything printed on canvas, from family photos to your favorite graphics. Of course there are also canvas paintings, which can either be procured from an artist or turned into a weekend DIY project. Whichever way you decide to come procure your canvas art, making it the highlight of your living room can give the space a ton of style and help ground its design. Here are ten beautiful living rooms that are enhanced by canvas art.
1. Eye-popping geometrics
Digitally printed canvas prints such as these can really make a statement in your living room. The style of the art perfectly pairs with a geometric chandelier that hangs in the middle of the room. Containing the same palette of neutral tones that are seen in the rest of the space helps the duo of prints pull the design together.
2. Contemporary elegance
In a room full of neutrals, a canvas print that contains vibrant hues can be just the thing to liven up the space. This living area has plenty of beautiful, high quality furnishings and decor, and what it lacks in color is added by a large art print hanging above a sofa. It’s mostly gray with just the right touch of blues, pink, yellow, reds, and black. Abstract art such as this works well in rooms with varying styles of decor, from transitional to contemporary and modern.
3. Gorgeous floral print
The classic floral print takes an interesting turn after being blown up and printed across three canvas backgrounds. The sweeping artwork almost covers the length of a cream colored sectional and adds great flair to the room. Its warm, vibrant hues contrast well with the light neutrals in the space, and the style of the print looks great next to the room’s modern furniture and statement chandelier.
4. Style and sophistication
There are two canvas prints in this sophisticated living room, which is full of warm tones and contemporary furniture and decor. One sits above a table in a niche, while the other is near a large sectional. Each is complemented by the paint color on the walls behind it, which is a rich mustard yellow. If you’re trying to pick both an art print and a color of paint for your living room, aim to have each serve as an accent for the other. Pick out prominent tones in the art and then select a shade of paint based on which look best with the architecture and size of the room.
5. Fireplace accent
It’s common to place art prints above fireplaces, and in this transitional space the effect is gorgeous. The art looks especially beautiful with the fireplace roaring, and the couches are ideally positioned to provide a great view of the print and hearth. In a room such as this one, a single work of art can stand on its own without extra decorative items.
6. Vivid colors
In a minimalist space, a canvas print or two can provide just enough style and color to make the room look stunning. There’s little else in this living room aside from a few simple tables, a gray sectional, and gray area rug. However, the addition of two large art prints that contain bold and vivid colors is more than enough to add visual interest. Not only does this design strategy look great, it’s a good option for those who prefer uncluttered spaces but also want to add color to the mix.
7. Earthy hues
This living area is dripping with style and chic elegance, and its look is bolstered by a palette of rich and earthy hues including sage, plum, and brown. A huge canvas of abstract art sits above a curved sectional, and it really does complete the room. The key to making its eclectic style work in an otherwise contemporary space is that the art contains many of the same colors seen throughout the room. Its scale also works well with the height of the walls and size of the furnishings.
8. Trendy metallics
Metallic decor always adds visual interest to a space, and when you choose an art print with gleaming hues the effect can be quite dramatic. The white walls in this living room take on a new life with the addition of an abstract painting that features splotches of gold paint. A few gilded accessories, bright vases, and throw pillows with bold colors pull things together and create a very trendy look.
9. Laid back living space
If you’re hesitating to add a large canvas print to your living room because you don’t want it to look too formal, simply change the style of art that you’re considering for the space. This living room has several works of art, but it also retains is casual and relaxed vibe because the style of prints is well suited for the space. The large scale floral print on a yellow background looks especially beautiful, and the smaller works of art surrounding it add more color and charm to the design. With so much color on the walls, going with light neutral window treatments was a smart move.
10. Large scale modern art
If you’re ready to invest in a decorative piece for your living room that will have a significant impact on your home’s aesthetic, consider purchasing a large scale canvas print. There are several in this living area, and though the subject matter of each differs they all contain similar colors. It also helps that the style of the paintings are complementary and the area rug that covers the center of the floor is abstract as well. This design represents a bold approach, and the thought of putting several dramatic statement pieces in a room can seem intimidating. However, as long as the art prints you’re interested in share colors and style, it should work well in your living area.
