Living room wall art.
A living-room piece is the most influential design decision in the home — the wall above the sofa is the first thing every guest sees. On walll.art you can commission an original made especially for your living room (from ₪1,500 for the artwork; printing, framing and shipping are extra), or buy a ready original from the gallery — and in both cases you see the piece on a photo of your actual wall before you pay.
Why not another IKEA print?
A chain-store print hangs in thousands of other living rooms. It was chosen because it's 'fine' — not because it's yours. An original, by contrast, is created around your specific living room: the colors of the furniture, the light, the exact wall dimensions, and your personal taste.
And the price gap is smaller than you'd think: an original on walll.art starts at the price of a quality chain-store print — but it's the only one in the world, with a real artist's name behind it.
What size art suits a living room?
The professional rule of thumb: the artwork should span two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture beneath it. Above a standard 2.2 m sofa that means a work 140–170 cm wide — larger than most people dare, and exactly the difference between 'nice' and 'wow'.
In our commission wizard you enter the wall dimensions and see the work at true scale on a photo of your living room — so the size question is settled by eye, not by guesswork.
- Above the sofa: 140–170 cm wide, centered, 20–25 cm above the sofa back
- TV wall: a vertical work or a pair of works beside the screen
- Dining area: a warm work at the eye level of seated guests
- Entry wall: one strong work that sets the tone for the whole home
Abstract, modern or landscape? The styles that work in a living room
Abstract is the king of living rooms — it converses with the room's colors without 'competing', and stays fresh for years. Modern minimalism suits clean rooms with statement furniture, while landscapes and botanicals bring calm to busier spaces.

What to know
How much does original living room art cost?
A commissioned work from ₪1,500 (the artwork price only; gallery printing, framing and shipping are extra), with ready pieces in the gallery at similar prices. The price is transparent and known in advance — no surprises.
One large work or several small ones?
In a living room, one large work almost always wins: it creates a focal point, calms the space and projects confidence. A gallery wall of several works suits hallways and studies.
How do I know the work will suit my living room?
You upload a photo of the wall, and every proposal is shown on it at exact scale — you see the work 'hanging' in your living room before you pay.
Do the works arrive framed?
Yes — a frame is included (white or black; walnut at a supplement), with gallery printing on Fine Art paper. The work arrives ready to hang.
What style suits a modern living room?
A large abstract is the leading choice for a modern living room — it completes the space without competing with it. Graphic minimalism, quiet horizon lines and stylized botanicals also work beautifully. In the brief you can request several directions and compare them on a photo of your living room.
Where do you buy living room art that isn't in every home?
The difference is the source: chains sell reproduced prints that exist in thousands of homes. On walll.art every work is an original by an Israeli artist — ready in the gallery or created for your living room — so it exists only in your home.
