How to Choose Large Canvas Art for Your Living Room (That Actually Feels Like You)
The Impact of Large Canvas Art in Your Living Room
The right large canvas art can completely transform your living room — not just visually, but emotionally. It sets the tone for the space, adding warmth, grounding energy, and a focal point that feels deeply personal.
At Jade Fairbairn Art, every piece is created with that intention. Each artwork balances strength and softness, designed to complement modern Australian interiors while celebrating the feminine form and the beauty of imperfection.
Choosing the Perfect Size for Your Space
When selecting large wall art for your living room, scale is key.
A good rule of thumb: your canvas should span roughly two-thirds of the wall space above your sofa or console. For most living rooms, that means choosing canvases around 120–180cm wide — large enough to command attention without overwhelming the room.
If you prefer something instantly ready to style, our Canvas Wall Art Prints are professionally stretched and framed, making them perfect for those seeking high-impact art that’s easy to hang.

Finding the Right Mood and Colour Palette
Your living room art should feel like an extension of your energy.
If your home leans toward calm, organic interiors — think light oak, stone, linen, and warm neutrals — pieces like “She Embers (coming soon)” or “Her Rebellion” offer that perfect balance of strength and serenity. Their earthy tones and feminine silhouettes bring softness to structured spaces.
For coastal or sun-washed interiors, consider the gentle pinks and neutrals of “Stargazer” or “Twin Flame”, both ideal for open-plan living rooms that need a subtle focal point.
If you’re drawn to deeper contrast and bold brushwork, “Twin Flame” makes a striking centrepiece — commanding yet harmonious, ideal for a large living room wall that needs grounding energy.
Styling Ideas: How to Make It Feel Effortless
-
Above a Sofa: Choose one large statement piece rather than multiple small frames. Hang it about 15–20cm above the back of the sofa for a clean, gallery-like feel.
-
Over a Console or Sideboard: Pair a large abstract work with ceramics or a single vase for balance.
-
In Open-Plan Spaces: Let a large feminine abstract painting act as a visual divider — defining the living zone without physical walls.
-
Keep the Palette Consistent: Tie in your artwork’s tones with your cushions, rug, or throw for an intentional, cohesive look.

Final Thoughts
Large canvas art for the living room isn’t just décor — it’s a statement of who you are.
When chosen intentionally, it grounds the room, reflects your essence, and transforms a blank wall into something soulful and alive.
Whether it’s a bold figurative piece or a gentle abstract, choose art that feels like you — expressive, imperfect, and beautifully at ease in its space.
