Living Room Canvas Wall Art: Choosing a Design

The canvas print market is very diverse. If you’re looking for canvas wall art for the living room, you’ll find a wide range of styles to suit any taste. So we recommend following your heart and simply choosing a design you love – after all, the living room is such a central part of domestic life that you’ll be spending a lot of time with your print!

But if you need a bit of inspiration, here are some classic “canvas for living room” design choices:

• Abstract art. The perfect way to add a touch of modernity and creativity to their living room, with its bold colours and unique forms.

• Landscapes. Views of mountains, oceans, and forests are ideal if you want to bring a sense of nature and serenity to a space.

• Portraits. Portraits of people or animals can bring warmth and character to a room’s atmosphere and add a personal touch to any living room.

• Black and white photographs. Whether featuring dramatic landscapes or urban skylines, monochrome is timeless and elegant, providing a sense of nostalgia and bringing vintage charm to any room.

​

You’ll find lots of striking print designs online. But we believe the most effective way to get canvas prints for your living room wall in 2023 is to go for custom canvas prints. That way you can design your wall art yourself.

Canvas for Living Room: Mass-Produced vs Custom Prints

MYPICTURE is a personalised photo print provider. We make canvas prints using photos that our users upload to our webshop. And our custom service gives you several advantages over the kinds of mass-produced canvas prints that you’ll see on the high street:

Firstly, custom canvas prints give you complete control over the final product, including the size, design concept, and colour scheme. This allows for a truly unique and personalized piece of art tailored to suit your taste and match your home decor.

Secondly, custom canvas prints often use higher-quality materials and printing techniques, resulting in a more durable and long-lasting product. This is the case here at MYPICTURE: our “mass customisation” business model means we can sell at bargain prices without compromising on quality – and still make a profit.

Thirdly, buying custom canvas prints usually means supporting small & medium-sized businesses (like MYPICTURE), rather than supporting large corporations that mass-produce their prints.

Displaying Living Room Canvas Wall Art

Proper hanging and placement of canvas prints in a room is important because it can greatly affect the overall aesthetic and atmosphere of the space. Below we provide instructions for displaying your print:

1. Measure the space. Measure the wall space where you plan to hang the picture, and take note of any furniture or other elements in the room that could affect the placement of the picture.

2. Determine the focal point. Decide where the focal point of the picture should be, and use that as a guide for placement. In a portrait for example, the subject's eyes should be at the average viewing height of a person.

3. Mark the placement. Use a pencil or painter's tape to mark the placement of the picture on the wall.

4. Hang the picture. MYPICTURE canvas prints are fairly lightweight, so they shouldn’t require heavy-duty hardware to hang up. Note: We offer a special hanging kit that’s perfectly tailored to our prints – you can add this to your order in the shopping cart for a small extra cost!

5. Step back and evaluate. Stand back and take a look at the picture from different angles and lighting to make sure it looks balanced and pleasing to the eye. Make any necessary adjustments.
