The living room is the main gathering spot in your home. It is where you start your day with coffee, visit with family, and rest after work. Because you spend so much time in this room, the art on your walls makes a big difference in how the space feels.
Finding the right art for living room walls is not just about matching your sofa or rug. It is about making your home feel warm, calm, and welcoming.
At Brenda Myrick Art, we paint original canvases and make fine art prints that bring the peaceful feel of the Vermont countryside into your home.
Every room has its own feel. Some living rooms are made for fun visits, while others are quiet spots for reading. Your wall art helps set that mood.
Hanging a nature landscape or a painting of animals above your couch gives the room a nice center point. The soft greens, light grays, and warm earth colors of Vermont landscapes help you feel relaxed after a long day.
Hand-painted original art and real art prints have a warm, natural feel that factory poster prints lack. They invite people to slow down and enjoy the simple brush strokes and soft details.
A common mistake is picking a picture frame that is too small for the wall. A tiny picture on a big blank wall can look out of place.
Here are three simple tips to help you hang your art with confidence:
These simple rules keep your artwork looking neat and balanced in your room.
You do not need to buy expensive original paintings for every wall in your house. Many people like to pair one main original painting with a few smaller framed prints to fill out their space.
Original paintings have thick paint and raised strokes that catch sunlight during the day. Fine art prints offer the same beautiful colors on thick paper or canvas at a lower price point.
Our store offers original oil and acrylic paintings by Brenda Myrick alongside classic watercolor landscape prints by Barbara Lane, giving you great choices for any room.
1. Does bright sunlight from windows hurt living room paintings?
Direct sunlight can fade paint colors over time. Hanging your art on a wall that gets soft, indirect sunlight helps keep colors bright. If your room gets lots of direct sun, look for protective glass when framing paper prints.
2. Does my wall art need to match my furniture colors?
No, your art does not need to match your couch or rug. Choosing paintings with natural colors that fit the overall mood of the room works much better than trying to match exact fabric colors.
3. Should I pick one big picture or a group of small pictures?
One big picture creates a clean, simple look that makes small rooms feel larger. A group of smaller framed pictures works well on long walls or above low sofas.
4. What frame style looks best with country landscape art?
Simple wood frames in light oak, maple, or walnut look great with nature art. They match the outdoor colors in the painting without taking attention away from the art itself.
5. How do I protect lower paintings from kids and pets?
Hang your picture at least eight inches above furniture edges to keep it safe from bumps. Pick wrapped canvas with a clear protective coat so you can easily wipe off dust with a dry cloth.
Your home should be a place where you feel happy and relaxed. Bringing views of green hills, horses, and birds into your living room makes your space feel fresh and inviting.
