Setting the theme of the house decor, living rooms are an ideal spot to showcase exquisite artworks. Being the easily accessible, semi-private space of the house, the living room is where residents and visitors interact with the artwork frequently. It is therefore essential for the artwork to act as a standout feature!
Artwork embellishing the living room sets the tone of the house upon entering, which is why it is important for the art to reflect the personalities of its homeowners. When buying art for a living space, an effective way to curate a statement piece is to choose artworks that resonate with the energy and movement of its residents; compositions that are both calm and impactful at the same time. Statement art isn’t restricted anymore for dedicated collectors only—fine art prints have made statement pieces readily available and accessible. Aligning the artwork’s color and material palette with that of the living room unifies the different elements of design.
Our selection of the finest living room art aesthetics explores contemporary artist Julia Contacessi’s collection. Inspired by the coastal silhouette, Julia uses soft tones, cut by metallic notes that abstractly invoke images of shorelines and the pristine waters of cresting waves. Enhancing every decor style, her custom-made art prints render an atmospheric essence in each of her curated pieces.
