How to Style Large Art in Your Space: A Guide to Elevating Your Interiors
Large-scale artwork has the power to transform a room, becoming the centerpiece that sets the tone for the entire space. Whether you’re decorating a modern apartment, a cozy home, or a chic office, incorporating statement pieces—like my Waves painting—can add depth, character, and emotion to your environment. Here’s how you can style large art effectively to enhance your space.
1. Choose the Right Wall
Before hanging your artwork, identify the best location. Large paintings work well as focal points, so consider placing them:
✔ Above a sofa or bed for a balanced and stylish look
✔ In an entryway to create an inviting atmosphere
✔ As a standalone statement on a blank wall for maximum impact
The Waves painting in my styling example is positioned above a neutral couch, allowing the dynamic movement of the piece to shine while complementing the room’s calm, natural tones.
2. Balance the Composition
When styling large art, the surrounding décor should enhance—not compete with—the piece. Some key tips:
✨ Use neutral or complementary tones in your furniture and textiles
✨ Avoid overcrowding the space with too many decorative elements
✨ Consider symmetry: If your artwork is centered above furniture, ensure it aligns proportionally
In the image, the beige sofa and textured throw create a cozy, neutral base that allows the bold blues and golds of the Waves painting to stand out.
3. Play with Color Coordination
Your artwork’s color palette can guide the rest of your room’s design. You can:
✔ Match subtle elements of the painting to accents in your space (pillows, rugs, vases)
✔ Contrast with monochrome or neutral décor to let the piece command attention
✔ Incorporate metallics or natural textures for added dimension
For instance, the teal and navy tones in Waves would pair beautifully with soft beige, wood, or brass elements, bringing warmth and harmony to the room. Shop it below:

4. Consider Scale and Spacing
When placing large artwork:
🔹 Hang it at eye level (typically, the center should be 57-60 inches from the floor)
🔹 Leave enough wall space around the painting so it doesn’t feel cramped
🔹 If pairing with other décor, such as sconces or shelves, maintain visual balance
Here, the painting is positioned spaciously on the wall, allowing its movement and energy to breathe without distractions.
5. Layer with Texture and Depth
To create a dynamic, lived-in look, style the area around your art with:
🌿 Plants for organic contrast
📚 Minimalist décor elements like books or sculptural objects
🛋 Soft textiles like throws and cushions for warmth
In the styling example, soft cotton textures and natural floral elements add depth and comfort, making the space feel inviting and cohesive. The Pink Memories painting pairs perfectly with the soft bedroom palette (Adding an accent pillow gives the room extra character!).
