Art has long been loved for its ability to personalize a space. No matter your tastes, it's hard to deny the power of a meaningful picture in the center of your scheme. While there are plenty of ways to decorate with art, no room is complete without a large central canvas, as it's this that can tie even the most contrasting styles together.
It was Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills living room that made me even more sure of this. Featuring a strikingly abstract canvas by the iconic painter Robert Motherwell, the piece's impact is undeniable. It serves as the room's focal point, unifying the many other shapes, textures, and colors.

From the array of textures (note the exposed stone wall paired beside the wood panelling) to the many layers of luxurious materials (plush purple velvet, embroidered silk, and studded leather, to name a few), you'd think that it would be hard to pull off such a daring look. However, the finished result proves that no matter how different your layers are, art can be the binding component to take a room from mismatched to unified.
There's not one right living room art idea, so choosing a piece should always depend on its sentiment. While some design their living room and then select a piece of art to match their scheme, the key to a truly accomplished design is styling your pieces around your central canvas, as it's this which should set the tone of your space.
