The wall above the sofa is often a focal point in the living room. Many people wonder what's best to hang there. The right artwork can enhance the space without overpowering it. In this blog post, we share seven ideas for wall art above the sofa, focusing on size, position, and interior style.

1. One large work of art (statement piece)
A single, large piece creates a sense of calm and creates a clear focal point. Choose a size that covers approximately two-thirds of the sofa's width. This works well in both minimalist and modern interiors.

2. An abstract work in natural tones
Abstract art with earthy tones complements calming interior styles like Japandi or Scandinavian. The artwork can be subtle and doesn't need to be overpowering in color to make an impact.

3. A wall circle as a soft contrast
A round, artistic shape breaks up the straight lines of the sofa and furniture. This creates softness and balance, especially in sleek or modern spaces.

4. Two or three work side by side
When working with multiple pieces, it's important that they coordinate in style and size. Leave 6 to 8 cm of space between the frames and ensure the top or bottom lines are even.

5. Art coordinated with the color of the sofa
Combine shades from the sofa or cushions with elements in the artwork. This creates cohesion and enhances the tranquility of the space.

6. Vertical work for height effect
A piece of artwork with a vertical composition can make a room appear taller. This works well with relatively low ceilings.

7. A series of small-format art with lots of white space
Instead of closely spaced images, one or more smaller works with plenty of space between them can create a calming effect. This is especially suitable for minimalist interiors.

Practical guideline for hanging height
Hang the artwork approximately 20 to 25 cm above the sofa. The center of the artwork should be approximately 145 cm from the floor.

When wall art is well-coordinated in size, style and position, it enhances the living room's layout and creates balance in the space.
