Scandinavian Wall Art for the Living Room
The living room wall is the one guests actually look at, so it deserves a print bought on purpose rather than a poster that came with the frame. This edit gathers our Scandinavian wall art with living room presence: Sia Siamos’s warm table scenes, Renate Thor’s Birdie flock, Helene Brox’s bold cream figures among them. Each piece is made to order and can be bought framed, in wood, black or white, or unframed, whichever suits the wall it’s headed for.
It is also the room a print is seen in most, in morning light and lamplight both, so it pays to choose something you will still enjoy on the hundredth glance rather than the first. Scandinavian living room wall art tends to earn that staying power through restraint, confident colour and clean form over busy detail. Start with one piece you are sure of and build the wall around it; a gallery grouping rarely works when it all arrives at once.

Styling art in the living room
Height
Hang the centre of the piece at eye level, roughly 145 to 150 cm off the floor. Above a sofa, leave 15 to 25 cm between the frame and the sofa back.
Grouping
One large print makes a feature wall; a pair or trio (the Birdie prints sit well together) makes an easy gallery wall.
Tone
Warm tones like Tree Top Peach soften a minimalist room, while a bold abstract lifts a calmer palette.

Common questions
What wall art works best in a Scandinavian living room?
Aim for one piece with enough presence to hold the main wall, then keep the rest of the room quieter around it. A bold, colourful abstract lifts a pale, minimalist scheme, while a calm botanical landscape settles a room that is already busy with colour and pattern. The trick is to let one thing lead rather than hang several pieces that compete.
How big should a print be above the sofa?
Go large. A single piece works best when it fills a good part of the sofa’s width, or hang a pair or trio to cover the same span. Sizes vary by artwork and are shown on each product page, with the larger formats such as A1 or 50 x 70 cm suiting a sofa wall. Centre the piece at eye level, roughly 145 to 150 cm from the floor, and leave 15 to 25 cm between the frame and the sofa back.
Can I order a living room print framed, and how is it delivered?
Yes. Every print can be ordered unframed, or with a wood, black or white frame, chosen on the product page before you add it to the basket, where the price for the size you pick is shown. Prints are made to order on museum-quality archival paper and delivered worldwide, with the cost shown at checkout.
