Glass Wall Art Ideas for the Living Room
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.
Artronauts offers a range of ready-made sets including our 2 Piece Glass Wall Art Set, 3 Piece Glass Wall Art Set, and 5 Piece Glass Wall Art Set that work brilliantly on living room layouts of all sizes.
Choose a Style That Complements Your Decor
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.
