How to Choose the Perfect Piece of Art for Every Room

Living Room: Make a Statement

The living room is often the largest and most visible space in a home, making it the perfect place for statement artwork.

What to look for:

• Medium to extra-large pieces
• Bold compositions or strong color palettes
• Artwork that anchors the room and draws the eye

Large paintings or wide horizontal pieces work especially well above sofas or consoles.
