  2. Step1

    Think outside the box. You may be tempted to hang a Van Gogh over your sofa. This can feel a little like a dentist’s office just because it’s something that is seen over & over. Plus, people will know that it’s not an original. If you are set on having a famous artist hanging on your wall pick an unusual piece that not everyone will know. The famous artists painted hundreds of works, so really get interested in the history. You can even turn an existing poster into a unique collage so you can present a popular piece in an original way.

  3. Step2

    Go for an original living room painting. You might not think that you can afford original artwork. Hit the sidewalks in the summer & see what artists are showing. You can even browse through local college art shows. Some of the students sell their pieces & you never know who is going to be the next big thing. Just make sure that it is displayed properly so the sunlight doesn’t fade it out.

  4. Step3

    Keep scale in mind. A room may look unbalanced if the living room painting isn’t proportional. If you are drawn to smaller living room paintings, buy several for a gallery effect. Remember that this will be the focal pint of the room.

  5. Step4

    Hang them in unexpected places. Living room art work isn’t just for over the sofa or fireplace which can seem a little predictable. Try hanging a canvas from a bookshelf. It can also act as a make shift divider.

  6. Step5

    Put your art directly on the walls. The popular thing right now seems to be vinyl artwork that you can stick on the wall. You can even buy these at the dollar store. Keep them in the same area so the room doesn’t seem too kitschy. This can save you a lot of money & it’s an unexpected living room painting. You may even be able to find an entire tree that goes from floor to ceiling.

  7. Step6

    Frame it. You don’t have to be able to afford a fancy frame for your living room art work. You can always just paint that wall a different color. You can even paint a square centered on the wall & add your artwork in the center. This gives your piece more presence or height.
