<p dir="ltr">Are you looking for oversized sofas and large wall decor ideas for living rooms with spacious floor plans? You&rsquo;ve come to the right place.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Designing a modern living room that exudes both style and comfort is all about scale &mdash; large living spaces demand furniture and decor that can make a statement. Oversized sofas, bold artwork, and thoughtful home decor create balance, which is essential if you want your space to feel inviting.</p>
<p><strong id="docs-internal-guid-e7263768-7fff-2a6c-d16e-87f8c3d5646d">Here are some of the best ways to pair large living room wall decor with XL sofas to create a stylish, well-proportioned space.</strong></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">10 large wall decor ideas for living room design</h2>
<p dir="ltr">XL sofas are among the most popular trends in interior design right now. They redefine lounging, giving any space a luxurious and inviting appeal. But without the right wall decor, these oversized sofas can cause your living room to look unbalanced.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Check out these large wall decor ideas to find a pairing that&rsquo;ll enhance your space without overwhelming it.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Gallery wall</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://stock.adobe.com/images/modern-scandinavian-apartment-with-trendy-furniture-real-photo/301580557?prev_url=detail"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-art-wall-sofa.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Gallery walls are one of the best ways to add visual interest to a large, blank wall. You can customize the look by picking prints and frames to match any decor style, and the gallery can be expanded to fill wall space of any size.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To plan a gallery wall, pick several smaller pieces of wall art with varied frame sizes and styles. Outline a space on your floor the same size as the wall you&rsquo;re decorating, and then experiment with different ways you can arrange the gallery.</p>
<p><strong id="docs-internal-guid-2c6e0fe6-7fff-8a19-f3be-28faced7e27e">Once you find your favorite, take a picture so you remember where each piece of art <strong id="docs-internal-guid-9e739b20-7fff-74a9-4216-54720d7e5509">should go, and then recreate it on your wall.</strong></strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Floating shelves</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://stock.adobe.com/images/modern-living-room-with-sofa-and-shelves/261230467?prev_url=detail"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-sanded-plywood-sofa.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Floating shelves are a fantastic alternative to large bookcases, especially if you&rsquo;re a fan of <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/minimalist-interior-design">minimalist interior design</a>. They also serve as a foundation for other decor ideas. For example, you could place greenery, accent pieces, and a canvas on your shelves, as we see in the above living room design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;re not a fan of floating shelves, there are plenty of creative ways to get the same functionality with a different aesthetic. For example, you might use standard wall shelves with bracket mounts. Alternatively, if you happen to be doing a remodel, you could add built-in ledges to create a lasting focal point and bookshelf.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Renters and others who can&rsquo;t modify their homes can achieve a similar look by placing a <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Cabinets-%26-Consoles">console table</a> behind the sofa to display plants, accents, family photos, and other pieces of decor.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Accent wall panels</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://stock.adobe.com/images/stylish-living-room-interior-with-wooden-coffee-table-plants-and-elegant-accessories-beautiful-beige-sofa-template-modern-home-staging-wall-paneling-details/339589999?prev_url=detail"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-jazeerapaint-sofa.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Wall paneling can add an oversized focal point in large and small spaces alike, and it works well behind sofas. The living room above used paneling to cover a large blank wall without any wall hangings or artwork. You could also add <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.thespruce.com/what-is-shiplap-5225719">shiplap panels</a> instead of a square pattern.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Accent wall panels often complement textured sofas, especially when you&rsquo;re creating an attention-grabbing space. For example, a square panel design could complement our <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Blaine-Sectional-Sofa/509899-SET">Blaine Sectional Sofa</a>, which features bold corduroy upholstery.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;d rather not try to install DIY paneling or pay a pro for a renovation, you can also create accent walls using different paint colors. Look at your existing color palette to find the right option. Pick a bold color if you&rsquo;d like it to pop and a muted one if you&rsquo;d like to tone down the impact.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Leaning oversized canvas</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Lakeview-Modular-Sectional-Sofa/551461-SETA"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-lakeview-modular-sofa.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">A large blank wall behind your sofa is the perfect spot for a leaning canvas. The sofa&rsquo;s positioning will ensure that the piece never slides down and gets damaged, and if you&rsquo;re not a fan of the leaned look, it&rsquo;ll also disguise it to some degree.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The above living room uses a hanging piece on one wall and a leaning piece on the other, adding variety to the decor. The sofa pictured is the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Lakeview-Modular-Sectional-Sofa/551461-SETA">Lakeview Modular Sectional Sofa</a> with ivory upholstery, but this room would also work well with a dark-toned sofa like the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Hobson-Modular-Sectional-Sofa/551455-SET">Hobson Modular Sectional Sofa</a> in charcoal upholstery.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leaning canvases can work well with a wide range of design ideas and styles. For example, they create an artsy appeal perfect for <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/boho-living-room">boho living spaces</a>, especially when you lean several large pieces around the entire room.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Flanking floor lamps</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Everly-Extra-Long-Sofa/504850"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-everly-sofa.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;re looking for large wall decor ideas for living rooms with windows that take up the wall space, flanking <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Lamps">floor lamps</a> can help create the XL appeal. In this room, the flanking floor lamps help balance the space so the sofa isn&rsquo;t dwarfed by the big wall and tall windows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The sofa pictured is the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Everly-Extra-Long-Sofa/504850">Everly Extra Long Sofa</a>. Despite its oversized design, the windows run the risk of creating an unbalanced look without the pair of lamps to extend the focal point horizontally. The two large art pieces behind the sofa could also appear unbalanced without the flanking floor lamps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Wall-mounted mirror</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Emberson-Modular-Sectional-Sofa/508851-SET"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-wall-mounted-mirror.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Large mirrors have a wide range of uses in interior design. In this room, it&rsquo;s used to amplify natural light from the window. In other spaces, you can position <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/decorative-wall-mirrors">wall mirrors</a> to reflect a statement piece, effectively doubling its impact on your room, or even reflect an open area like an adjacent dining room to make your home feel larger.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this living room, the mirror hangs about the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Emberson-Modular-Sectional-Sofa/508851-SET">Emberson Modular Sectional Sofa</a>, which features ivory upholstery. When compared to darker colors, large swaths of light-toned upholstery can also help amplify incoming natural light. The combined effects of the sofa and wall mirror in this space create a light, bright interior that appears spacious and inviting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leaning floor mirrors can also work well for this effect. You can position them to flank the furniture or place large-scale floor mirrors behind the sofa as you would a leaning canvas.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">7. Oversized wall art</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Elizabeth-Extra-Long-Sofa/503957"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-oversize-wallart.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">This is one of the most popular large wall decor ideas for living rooms with plenty of square footage. A sizable canvas works well for decorating a big empty wall, and it&rsquo;s a straightforward approach to creating a focal point behind a sofa.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The canvas and picture frame should typically match the color scheme in the room, as should the furniture. Here, we see an earthy color scheme with the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Elizabeth-Extra-Long-Sofa/503957">Elizabeth Extra Long Sofa</a> providing the chocolate brown accent color. The painting then adds a touch of black to ground the room, but the majority is a light tan that works well with the sand-toned drapery to either side.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">8. Flanking greenery</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Fayette-Sectional-Sofa/504920-SET"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-flanking-greenery.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Many large wall decor ideas for living rooms with lots of blank space use a pair of canvases flanked with greenery to add texture, color, and life to the design. The negative space between the smaller canvases and the flanking greenery creates a sense of calm serenity in the decor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When selecting plants to flank a sofa, look for tall options that will work well with the light in the room or smaller pieces you can display on an <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Coffee-Tables-%26-End-Tables?PId=MTE%3D&amp;CId=MTI3Nw%3D%3D">end table</a>. We see both used in the image above to excellent effect, creating a balanced yet interesting aesthetic.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Fayette-Sectional-Sofa/504920-SET">Fayette Sectional Sofa</a> adds to the visual interest of this space with an asymmetrical design and curated throw pillow arrangement.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">9. Oversized companion canvases</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Camacho-Sectional-Sofa/503975"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-oversized-companion-canvases.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">The term companion canvases refers to two or more pieces of wall art that are meant to be displayed together. They&rsquo;re often used in large wall decor ideas for living rooms of all sizes because they create pleasing symmetry, texture, and aesthetic appeal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this room, two minimalist canvases hang above an orange-toned <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Camacho-Sectional-Sofa/503975">Camacho Sectional Chaise Sofa</a>. The orange color causes the sofa to stand out as the stronger focal point while the companion canvases support it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Camacho also comes in <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Camacho-Sectional-Sofa/503985">amber upholstery</a>, which is less bold and may share the spotlight with the wall art. Both approaches create a balanced look.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">10. Wall sconce arrangement</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Winchester-Extra-Long-Sofa/503997"><img alt="10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-wall-sconce-arrangement.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Most living rooms can benefit from extra layers of light, whether it&rsquo;s from windows, floor lamps, or wall sconces, as we see above. They&rsquo;re flanking a large piece of wall art, effectively extending the decor arrangement to be nearly as long as the <a alt="Go to 10 best large wall decor ideas for living rooms that wow" href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Winchester-Extra-Long-Sofa/503997">Winchester Extra Long Sofa</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In most rooms, the Winchester sofa&rsquo;s bubble design would instantly make it the primary focal point, but the expert combination of the framed art and matching sconces steal the show. The vertical lines of the sofa guide the eye upward until the gaze snaps onto the arrangement on the wall.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If sconces don&rsquo;t quite fit your decor style, you can achieve a similar effect with a pair of hanging pendant lights flanking a piece of wall art.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Elevate your space with the perfect pairing</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The trick to styling large wall decor ideas for living rooms, big or small, is striking a balance between your furniture and accents. Whether you&rsquo;re working with limited square footage or a sprawling floor plan, a sleek sectional or an extra-long sofa, you&rsquo;ll need the right wall decor to complete the look.</p>
