Art in the living room interior
What happens when art takes on the central role in a living room interior? What do rooms look like in which a central work strongly influences the character of the room? When and how does art become something more than a linchpin in interior design?
There are many possible answers!
The applied techniques that serve this purpose are very varied and consistently intelligent. Often they perfectly complement the color palette. In other cases, the work of art illustrates the character of the living room furnishings by “combining” its shapes, colors or textures.

Work of art with the colors of the interior
Weld the color palette of your interior design together with a large-scale work of art for the wall. This immediately takes on a central aesthetic and functional role in the room. If you also choose an elegant theme, you bring the living room furnishings to a very high level.
An interesting work of art spices up the bare wall
For an extremely modern design, professional interior designers recommend the following strategy: They recommend a neutral background and a few accents in eye-catching colors. The latter in particular should then also be included in the great work of art.

Strong contrast between the artwork and the furniture
Both the work of art and the furniture can be meaningful and still create a uniform appearance together. It works when both contrast and are in balance at the same time. You can come to this conclusion in a variety of ways. One possibility would be for art and furniture to show related shapes and contrasting colors. The reverse variant would also be possible.

Art in various forms
Less conspicuous art can also have a strong impact on living room furnishings. Select smaller works in light and neutral colors and rely on the multitude of these. Mixing different genres of art is also important in this strategy. A good combination would be graphics on the wall in combination with sculptural accessories such as vases, lamps, etc.

Spectacular art for monochrome interiors
How can an art appear spectacular within a monochrome interior? In this case, you should let the slightly noticeable colors in the artwork dominate. For example, if you have a modern concept that is dominated by gray and white, you can hang a graphic with a lot of black on the wall. If you have colored accents in the room, these should also be present in the room.
Emphasis on lighting
With the right lighting, you can easily put the work of art in the limelight
Emphasize the importance of the works of art by highlighting them with special lighting. Draw ideas from galleries. Industrial style side wall lights are an excellent solution for almost any style.

All living room furnishings dominated by art have the following in common: The works give the overall concept a drama and a spectacular character. Whether they are a main accent or determine and intensify the decorative design depends entirely on the interior designer and the specific case!
