Decorating the walls of the living room: 20 colorful and exciting artistic suggestions
When furnishing a living room, an important part of the work is the decoration of the walls, representing the final addition to the design of the entire space. This task is often capable of enhancing and adding personality and color to the room.
Living room decorations, like those throughout the rest of the house, should be chosen based on the style of the entire space, integrating seamlessly with the rest of the decor to create a harmonious whole. This helps make the room warmer, more welcoming, brighter, or feel more spacious.
When used effectively, decorations can highlight the beauty of our rooms, minimizing or even disguising any flaws. Therefore, it's crucial to pay attention when selecting them to ensure we get the best results.
For example, realistic or abstract paintings, photographs, prints, simple frames, stenciled decorations, and wallpaper are all excellent decorative materials and additions to you home.
Below, we list 20 suggestions for decorations/decor you can consider:
1. Mandala on wood
The mere presence of wood can bring warmth to even the "coldest" room, while mandalas convey a sense of peace and relaxation. Combine these together in a large wall decoration above the sofa, and the effect will be stunning.
2. Colorful abstract art
If you want to add energy and color to an otherwise cold and neutral space, use a large abstract painting with vivid colors. Your living room will be brightened up immediately.

A shelf displaying printed text and elegant candleholders will add a romantic touch to your living room.
