Transforming a living room can seem like a big job but it doesn’t have to be. Glass wall art is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to change the look of any room. Perfect for adding a dose of contemporary style and luminosity to your home, there’s a design to suit every room layout and interior scheme. From compact living spaces to modern open-plan rooms, the right glass wall art can work wonders on your living room.
In this buyer’s guide, we’ve put together practical and stylish tips to help you choose, hang, and style glass wall art in your living room — and we’ll be using examples from Artronauts’ Living Room Collection to illustrate our points.
Why Glass Wall Art for Your Living Room?
When it comes to adding a focal point to your living room, glass provides a high-gloss alternative to canvas or printed art posters. Not only does it reflect light back into your space, making it appear brighter, but it has a certain aesthetic appeal and contemporary sophistication that canvas and paper can’t match.
More and more homeowners and interior designers in the UK are turning to glass art for living rooms and here’s why:
It reflects light into the space and makes it appear bigger and brighter
It has a clean, modern aesthetic that suits minimal interiors
It’s easy to keep clean – a simple wipe down is all it takes
It’s made from long-lasting scratch-resistant tempered glass
It comes in multiple sizes and styles to suit any wall or layout
Start with the Right Size
When choosing glass art for your living room, think about the scale and impact you want first before deciding on a particular style or design.
Wall above a sofa? Hang artwork that is around two-thirds the width of the sofa.
Got a tall, narrow wall? Hang one or more vertical panels to accentuate the height.
Large empty wall? Try a wide panoramic or multi-panel glass wall art set for maximum impact.
Your living room could be modern, boho, minimal, or traditional, but there’s a glass wall art design that will complement your space.
Here are some popular design styles to help you choose:
Abstract – a bold, modern look
Black and white – timeless and elegant
Nature-inspired – calming and organic
Colour splash – creates a bold visual statement
Use Light to Your Advantage
As we mentioned before, glass is great at reflecting light around a space, so take advantage of this to brighten up your living room.
Hang your piece opposite a window to maximise on daylight.
Consider using accent lighting to create a nighttime visual drama.
Opt for gloss finishes for maximum shine or matte for something more understated.
Try a Multi-Panel Display
Looking for more impact in your living room? Try a multi-panel set:
2-piece sets for a symmetrical and balanced look
3-piece sets to create rhythm and flow
5-piece sets for eye-catching, full-wall coverage
Hang these above long sofas, sideboards, or media units and create a gallery-style display in your living room.
Match Colours or Go Bold
Colour is another important consideration when choosing glass wall art, so here’s our approach to choosing:
Match: Look for shades that already feature in your existing cushions, rugs, or curtains
Contrast: Choose a bold colour to liven up a neutral room
For example, a blue glass panel could work to lift a grey room, while a black and white art design could work to calm a colourful space.
Style Around the Art
Once you have your glass wall art hung in your living room, it’s time to style around the piece:
Add a floor lamp or spotlights to feature and highlight the piece
Use coordinating cushions or accessories to create a cohesive look
Keep the area surrounding the piece uncluttered to let it really stand out
Safe and Easy to Hang
All of our pieces come with a safe and secure mounting kit and include simple instructions to make installation easy. On larger panels, it’s a good idea to ask for an extra pair of hands. Once hung, tempered glass wall art is very safe and sturdy.

First Impressions: The Power of an Entryway
Think of an entryway. No, not the hallway by your bedroom. The hallway that greets guests when they first enter your house.

This is the 5th piece I’ve ordered from Artronauts and possibly my favourite. I love how these bold pieces of art give life to even the most mundane corners of my apartment.
Stunning piece of wall art from Artonauts. I bought this to add a touch of colour to my walls and it doesn't disappoint. It has a big presence on my living room wall, it's very sturdy with great fittings supplied to hold it in place safely.
I'd recommend getting this hung up professionally due to the weight and it's glass.
Gorgeous picture. It creates a sense of space, calm and light in our dark bathroom.
The quality is fantastic.
I was a bit worried that it may get damaged in transit but it arrived in perfect condition.
Experience was great. Easy to order. Company kept me well informed as to what was happening with my delivery. The parcel arrived well packed. Little disappointed in that there were a couple of scratches but it doesn't detract from the picture as you can't see them now its hung. Do especially like the hanging method that came with the picture - makes it so much easier to get it right though its definitely a two person job
Love the ‘Colourful Zebras’ artwork we ordered. We’re glad we opted for the larger size too, it really makes the room we’ve hung it in.
Not bought from here before but would definitely recommend it to others; lots of choice and the picture was packaged well.
Thanks guys
The picture itself 3 piece glass art looked excellent.
Now for the downside - the brackets on each picture did not align correctly they were 1-2 mm out. The templates for drilling the holes were completely useless, on the installation i was not impressed especially for the cost.
I will look to buy further pieces only if you can assure me of better installation procedures.
Apart from that, the 3 pieces look stunning.
Absolutely love my Tree of Life glass wall art purchase. It took a little while to arrive but was well worth the wait. Great company and great product!
I ordered 2 originally however one did not have the drill holes to hang it. After contacting them they were only too happy to send another and told me to keep the original one.
These were a present for a family member so I waited for that one to arrive before giving them both.
I haven't shopped here before but I will look from time to time to see if there is anything else that catches my eye.
Thankyou for your polite and timely replies and goodwill on this occasion.
Appreciated
Ordering and delivery straight forward. Packaged well. No instructions to hang included but available online. Easy to hang and looks great in the downstairs cloakroom.
Amazing Quality, it looks stunning.
Some advice, Make Sure to Max Out the Size.
This artwork is incredible. The colors are incredibly vibrant and it instantly draws your eye, completely transforming the vibe of the room.
My only piece of advice to future buyers: measure your wall and buy the absolute largest size if you can swing it.
I made the mistake of playing it safe and ordering the size just below the maximum option, and I deeply regret not getting the biggest one. The art is wonderful, but it deserves to be displayed on a massive scale.
Highly recommend the product!
Great quality pictures, love them and have purchased 4 of their ‘glass’ prints. Issue is postage; if you’re not in a rush to get these it’s fine 😬 otherwise it’s weeks.
Always a bit dubious of andom ads that pop up, but after a bit of research and reading independent reviews went ahead and purchased. Arrived fairly quickly, though they are shipped from Turkey. Very well packaged.
Our lounge kitchen diner feels complete now we have installed the Puffy Khaki glass wall clock from Artronauts. It has elevated the feel of the room and turned the wall into a centrepiece. The glossy finish of the face looks so premium, catching the natural light from the garden doors beautifully and adds a gorgeous, subtle reflection that makes the wall feel alive. Ordering was easy on their website, delivery was smooth and their packaging was excellent so the clock arrived in pristine condition.
I was initially looking for some kind of Glass mirror that I could add my logo to and came across Artronauts. I was a bit sceptical at first as never considered or had a piece of wall art like this and I wasn't quite sure how the the quality would turn out from the logo I uploaded to personalise the piece. My concerns where put to rest the second i opened the package and say how good the quality and definition was. I ordered an 80cm x 80cm piece and the installation to the wall was seamless.
I thoroughly recommend Artronauts if you are looking for a piece of wall art whether it is bespoke or not. 5 stars in my opinion and I will be buying more.
