Elevate your space with our Large Contemporary Canvas Art

A big wall deserves a piece that can hold it, and this edit of large contemporary wall art gathers our Contemporary canvases for shoppers who want to go big. Each one is painted by our artists and comes in seven sizes, and the largest, 28x42, 32x48 and 40x60 inches, are the ones that anchor a room above a sofa, a bed or a dining table. Choose a black, white or natural wood frame, or hang the canvas unframed for a clean edge.

Quiet beige and gray safari scenes

For a calm, neutral wall, these vertical wildlife pieces keep to soft beige and gray in minimalist and painterly styles, so a large size reads as restful rather than loud. Start with Nursery Wall Decor Above Crib with Elephant Trunks Touching and Lion Cub Gazing at a Low Pale Sun, then look at Elephant Calf Asleep on Its Side and Lioness Guarding Her Sleeping Cub. Contemporary Nursery Wall Art with a Colobus Monkey, Safari Animal Nursery Prints Rhino Calf and Mother and Jungle Animal Nursery Art with a Gorilla Piggyback bring parent-and-baby tenderness, while Mother Hippo and Calf Resting Together, Gazelle Fawn Lying Low in Hiding and White Rhino Calf Lowering Its Head to Graze round out the quietest corner of the edit.

Warm beige with touches of pink and blue

If you want the same soft savanna mood with a little more color, these impressionist and contemporary pieces add pink or blue to a beige base. Warthog Piglet Trotting with Its Tail Held High and Fluffy Ostrich Chick on Long Pink Legs carry blush tones, and Giraffe Nursery Wall Art of a Baby Glancing Back adds a note of blue. Keep it warm and neutral with Nursery Animal Giraffe Mother Bending to Her Calf, Meerkat Pup Stretched Out in the Warm Sand and Neutral Safari Nursery Decor with a Wobbly Zebra Foal.

Playful bath-time animals

For a wall with a sense of humor, these pieces put animals in tubs and sinks, in pop art, watercolor and illustrative styles. Camel Kneeling in a Clawfoot Tub brings blue and teal, Hedgehog Paddling Across the Clawfoot Tub and Funny Bathroom Prints Cat Claims the Sink lean purple, and Bubble Bath Wall Art with a Corgi in Suds mixes pink, blue, teal and purple. Sage Green Bathroom Wall Art with a Basin Bunny is the green option, while Clawfoot Tub Wall Art Penguin Ready to Dive, Curious Raccoon at the Pedestal Sink and Puffin Admires Its Reflection in the Washtub keep to soft watercolor.

Choosing the size for a big wall

  • Aim for art that spans about two-thirds of the furniture below it; since these pieces are vertical, a 40x60 works as a single statement, or hang two 28x42 or 32x48 canvases side by side above a wide sofa or bed.
  • Leave 8 to 10 inches between the top of a sofa, headboard or sideboard and the bottom of the canvas so the piece feels connected to the furniture.
  • Before you order, tape the outline of 28x42, 32x48 and 40x60 on the wall to see which one fills the space without crowding it.

What colors pair well with large beige contemporary wall art?

Beige and gray pieces like Nursery Wall Decor Above Crib with Elephant Trunks Touching sit easily with white, cream, warm wood and soft gray walls. If you want a bit more color, Fluffy Ostrich Chick on Long Pink Legs adds a blush note that works with pink or terracotta accents.

What size canvas should I hang above a sofa or bed?

For most sofas and queen or king beds, the 32x48 or 40x60 sizes give enough presence to anchor the wall. Because pieces such as Lion Cub Gazing at a Low Pale Sun are vertical, a pair of 28x42 or 32x48 canvases side by side also fills a wide space nicely.

Should I choose a frame for a large contemporary canvas?

A frame in black, white or natural wood gives a large canvas a finished edge, while unframed keeps the look clean and modern. A natural wood frame suits warm neutral pieces like Elephant Calf Asleep on Its Side, and white or black can sharpen a colorful piece like Bubble Bath Wall Art with a Corgi in Suds.
