How to Use Art Mode in a Small Living Room

Make a compact room feel calmer by choosing scale, contrast and display settings that do not crowd the space.

A small room does not need a small idea. The right artwork can make the television feel like a carefully chosen window rather than another object competing for space.

Use one strong image

A single spacious landscape or restrained abstract is often calmer than a busy pattern. Let the screen carry one clear visual idea.

Match contrast to the walls

If the television is already a strong dark rectangle, a mid-tone artwork can soften its presence. If the room is very pale, a slightly deeper composition can give the display definition.

Keep the surrounding wall quiet

In a small space, a little breathing room around the television helps more than extra decoration. Allow the artwork to be the focal point and keep nearby objects low or simple.
