How to turn your living room into an art gallery

Your own home only becomes really cozy and homely when you give the rooms a very personal touch. It's not just about colors and decoration, but also about what you put on the walls.


Whether very personal and informal or futuristic and cool - everyone can conjure up their own taste on their four walls. We present ways of transforming the living room into a private art gallery:

The resident as artist

Are you a creative person who loves crafting, painting or photography? Display your work with confidence. There are no limits to your creativity. Whether abstract doodles on paper or colorful splashes of paint on canvas are your passion - whatever you like goes on the wall. Especially if your home is dominated by classic furnishings and muted colors, a splash of color can make the entire room look friendlier. When choosing a color, keep in mind that each shade can create a very specific mood: Natural and green tones have a harmonious and calming effect, while a strong red is invigorating, dynamic and stimulating. Not every color suits every living space - ideally, you should have a combination of calming and invigorating tones on the wall.

Photographs from around the world

Not much of an artist yourself, but love photographs and pictures with impressions from all over the world? Even if the snapshot doesn't come from your own camera, you can create a small, personal gallery with the help of great photographs. Thanks to providers such as LUMAS, you can now also bring works by famous photo artists or photojournalists into your home at an affordable price. The principle is simple: LUMAS prints the photographs in small editions of usually 75 to 150 copies, thus enabling a good price. Nevertheless, every photography fan receives a signed and numbered original. Perhaps you will discover photos of places you have been to yourself in the Editionsgalerie range - such as Venice, New York or perhaps Munich? The personal connection to the photograph doubles the pleasure of viewing it.

The "big ones" for the small purse

Did you know that the most expensive painting in the world was auctioned off in the spring for a whopping 179.4 million dollars? Unimaginable for the average consumer, but the new owner of Picasso's painting "Les Femmes d'Alger (Version 'O')" will certainly appreciate the value. Would you also like to have a Picasso, van Gogh or Monet hanging above your sofa? No problem with affordable art prints. Prints of famous paintings such as the "Mona Lisa" or "The Creation of Adam" are also available for little money in furniture stores or in numerous online stores. You can often give the classics of art history an individual touch with freely selectable formats and frames.
