Art For your living room
Wall art for the living room has one decisive job: to anchor the wall behind your sofa, which is the largest in most houses. The right piece slows the eye, lifts the colour scheme and makes the sofa look like it belongs there. The wrong piece, or the wrong size, leaves a room feeling unfinished even when everything else is in place.
Every painting on this page is by Rebecca Grant, painted in acrylic on canvas with warm gold-toned highlights. Originals are signed by the artist. Limited edition giclée prints are hand signed and hand numbered.

How to choose wall art for a living room
Three rules cover almost every decision. Start with scale, then settle the palette, then think about how the painting and the sofa relate to each other.
Scale, the part most people get wrong
A painting hung above a sofa should sit between two thirds and three quarters of the width of the sofa. So a two seater of around 180 centimetres wants a painting between 120 and 135 centimetres wide. A three seater of 220 centimetres wants something between 145 and 165 centimetres. If you are nervous, go up rather than down. Small art over a generous sofa is the single most common mistake.
Palette
The painting does not need to match the sofa. It does need to share at least one note. If your sofa is navy, look for navy in the sea or the sky of the painting. If it is a warm grey, lean into golds and rose. The mid tones in Rebecca’s work are designed to bridge cool and warm interiors.
How to hang it
The bottom edge of the frame should sit between 20 and 25 centimetres above the back of the sofa. Any higher and the painting starts to float away from the room. Any lower and it sits in the sightline.
Three living-room mistakes worth avoiding
- Hanging too high. Use the sofa as your anchor, not the wall.
- Choosing a piece because it matches the cushions. Cushions change. The painting will outlast them.
- Buying small to be safe. A modest piece on a big wall reads as an afterthought, not a centrepiece.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What size wall art do I need above a three-seater sofa?
Aim for a painting between 145 and 165 centimetres wide. The painting should sit between two thirds and three quarters of the width of the sofa, so a three seater of around 220 centimetres wants a painting in that range. If you are layering with smaller pieces beside it, you can drop the central work to around 120 centimetres.
How high should art hang above a sofa?
The bottom edge of the frame should sit between 20 and 25 centimetres above the back of the sofa. Hung any higher, the painting floats away from the room; any lower and it sits in the sightline.
Will an abstract yacht painting suit a non-nautical living room?
Most do, because the work reads first as colour and movement and only second as a yacht. The pieces in the abstract collection in particular sit comfortably in homes that have nothing nautical about them.
What sizes do the limited edition prints come in?
Limited edition prints are offered in six sizes. Three rectangular formats follow the standard A series: A1 at 594 by 841 mm, A2 at 420 by 594 mm and A3 at 297 by 420 mm. Three square formats are 420 by 420 mm, 595 by 595 mm and 840 by 840 mm. Originals are unique pieces; sizes vary and current dimensions are available on request from the studio.
Can I commission a piece sized to my exact wall?
Yes. Commissions are open. Visit the commissions page to share your brief and any reference photographs. Lead times depend on size and complexity.
