Make Every Wall a Statement
Fine art has the power to transform a room—adding depth, character, and emotion. At LIK Fine Art, we believe every wall is an opportunity to express something extraordinary. Peter Lik’s photography turns that vision into reality with large-scale landscapes that capture the awe of the natural world.
Whether you're looking to enhance a quiet reading nook or define a grand living space, the right piece of art does more than fill a wall—it defines the mood. Begin by asking yourself: How do I want this space to feel? Then, align your art choices with the size, style, and layout of your room.
Get the Size Right: Scale & Proportion
Scale is key to impact. Too small, and your artwork might disappear into the background. Too large, and it could dominate the room. The goal? Visual harmony. Let the art breathe, but give it presence.
Expert Tip: A single piece should be around two-thirds the width of the furniture it’s above. For gallery walls, place the center of the layout at eye level—usually 57 to 60 inches from the floor.
Single Statement Pieces
Use a large-scale print to command attention in expansive areas. Peter Lik’s epic photographs are made for these moments—bringing drama, emotion, and movement to wide-open walls.
Balanced Gallery Walls
Gallery walls let you tell a visual story with multiple pieces. Maintain consistent spacing and align pieces by their centerlines for a clean look. These layouts shine in hallways, staircases, and personal creative spaces.
Style It Right: Match Your Aesthetic
Your home has a personality—your art should reflect and elevate it. Here’s how to choose styles that align with common design aesthetics:
- Modern & Minimal: Abstract or bold nature photography from our Northwest Collection adds sleek sophistication.
- Classic & Traditional: Rich textures and timeless landscapes from our Tree and Mountain Collections evoke heritage and warmth.
- Coastal & Calm: Soothing imagery from our Water and Beach Collections brings serenity to coastal-inspired homes.
- Eclectic & Artistic: Combine formats and textures to create layered interest with a gallery of unique fine art photography.
Placement Matters: Where Art Belongs
Even the perfect piece can fall flat if it’s not placed properly. Let your space guide your decisions. Art typically works best when placed 6–8 inches above large furniture or at direct eye level in open areas.
Ask yourself: Does the art invite the viewer into the space? In a dining room, can it be enjoyed from every seat? In an office, does it spark creativity? Placement isn't just about visual appeal—it’s about experience.
When choosing art for grand, open spaces (or above sofas in living rooms), opt for a single, larger wall art print. This will serve as a statement piece, anchoring the room. Ideally, your print will cover approximately two-thirds of the available wall space.
