Wall Art
Wall art in Saudi Arabia — the right painting finishes a room the way jewellery finishes an outfit. At RIS you will find luxury framed art prints in generous sizes — 120×120, 140×140 and 160×120 cm — with elegant abstract designs made to anchor sofas, beds and majlis seating in Saudi homes. Choose one bold statement piece or build a refined gallery wall, and complete the look with wall decor and mirrors, plus finishing touches from home decor.

How to Choose the Right Art Size
Size is the decision that matters most. Art that is too small floats and looks lost; art that is well-sized looks intentional and luxurious. The rule designers use above a sofa: the art should be about two-thirds the width of the sofa. For a three-seat sofa around 220 cm, that means a piece — or a group — of roughly 140–160 cm wide, which is why our large framed prints at 140×140 and 160×120 cm suit Saudi living rooms and villas so well. Above a bed, keep the art a little narrower than the headboard. Above a console, two-thirds of the console width is again the elegant proportion.
One Statement Piece or a Gallery Wall?
- One large statement print is the premium, confident choice for a main living room or majlis wall — calm, bold and easy to live with. Abstract art in a large format gives the room a focal point without clashing with patterned rugs or upholstery.
- A pair of matching prints suits symmetrical layouts: above a wide sideboard, flanking a fireplace, or either side of a tall mirror.
- A gallery wall of smaller frames works in hallways, staircases and family rooms. Keep frames in one finish and spacing even — 5–8 cm between frames — so the collection reads as one sophisticated composition, not clutter.
Choosing Colours That Work with Your Room
Let the painting borrow two or three colours already in the room — from the rug, the cushions or the curtains — and add one bolder note if the room is very neutral. Abstract art is the easiest to live with in Saudi homes because it carries colour and movement without a fixed subject, and it pairs well with marble, brass and wood. In a calm beige living room, an elegant print with warm gold, sand and soft black adds depth without noise.
The Right Hanging Height
Hang art so its centre is about 145–155 cm from the floor. Above a sofa, the bottom of the frame should sit 15–25 cm above the sofa back — close enough that the art and sofa read as one composition. The most common mistake is hanging art too high, near the ceiling; bring it down to eye level and the room instantly feels more refined.
Framed Prints, Ready to Hang
Our wall art arrives framed and ready for the wall, so the proportions you see are the proportions you get — no separate framing trip, no mismatched frame decisions. A well-chosen frame is part of the artwork: slim metallic and warm wood-tone frames give a premium gallery finish that suits both modern apartments and classic villas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wall art should I hang above my sofa?
Aim for art about two-thirds the width of your sofa: for a 220 cm three-seater, a single print 140–160 cm wide, or a pair totalling that width, looks balanced. RIS sizes such as 140×140 and 160×120 cm are made for exactly this proportion. Hang the piece 15–25 cm above the sofa back so art and sofa read as one composition.
How high should I hang a painting?
Hang a painting so its centre is about 145–155 cm from the floor — eye level for most adults. Above a sofa, leave 15–25 cm between the sofa back and the bottom of the frame. Hanging art too high, near the ceiling, is the most common styling mistake; bringing it down to eye level makes the room feel instantly more refined.
Is one big painting better than several small ones?
For a main living room or majlis wall, yes — one large statement piece looks bolder, calmer and more premium, and it anchors the seating below it. A 140×140 or 160×120 cm framed print suits most Saudi living rooms. Save groups of smaller frames for hallways, staircases and family rooms, where a gallery wall adds personality without overwhelming the space.
How do I build a gallery wall?
Build a gallery wall with frames in one finish and even gaps of 5–8 cm between frames, so the group reads as one composition. Lay the arrangement on the floor first, mixing sizes around one large anchor piece. Keep the total group about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it, with the centre of the group at roughly 145–155 cm from the floor.
What colours of wall art suit a beige living room?
Choose abstract prints in warm gold, sand and taupe with touches of black or deep green — these add depth to a beige room without clashing. Borrow two colours from your rug or cushions so the art feels connected to the room. Then let one bolder tone in the artwork give an otherwise neutral Saudi living room its confidence.
Is abstract art a good choice for a majlis?
Yes — abstract art is an excellent choice for a majlis because it is elegant, welcomes all guests and contains no figures. Choose one large framed piece in warm metallic or earthy tones to complement brass trays and marble tables. Hang it at eye level, centre 145–155 cm from the floor, above the main seating for a sophisticated focal point.
What size art goes above a king bed?
Keep the art slightly narrower than the headboard: for a 180 cm king headboard, one piece or a pair totalling 120–140 cm wide works best. Hang it 15–25 cm above the headboard so bed and art read as one composition. A 120×120 cm print is a safe, balanced size above most king beds in Saudi bedrooms.
Can I hang wall art in a hallway or entryway?
Yes — hallways suit a gallery wall or one elegant vertical piece, hung with its centre at 145–155 cm from the floor. In the entryway, a single sophisticated print above the console creates a strong first impression for guests. Pair it with a mirror on the opposite wall to reflect light and make a narrow Saudi entryway feel wider.
How do I hang a heavy large framed print safely?
Use wall plugs and hooks rated for the frame's weight, and fix wide pieces at two points so the frame stays level. For very large prints such as 160×120 cm, two people should lift and position the piece together. On villa walls and gypsum partitions, a professional installer is worth using for a secure, straight result.
Does wall art come framed at RIS?
Yes — RIS wall art arrives framed and ready to hang, so the colours, proportions and finish are exactly as shown online. There is no separate framing trip and no risk of a mismatched frame. Slim metallic and warm wood-tone frames give a premium gallery finish that suits both modern apartments and classic Saudi villas.
How do I clean and care for framed wall art?
Dust the frame with a soft, dry cloth and wipe glass or acrylic with a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Keep artwork out of constant direct sunlight, which can fade colours over the years. Avoid hanging art directly above a heat source or in steamy bathrooms, and check wide frames occasionally to confirm they still hang level.
Is a large painting a good gift?
Yes — a refined framed print is a memorable wedding or housewarming gift for a new Saudi home, because it finishes a main wall immediately. Choose abstract designs in neutral, warm tones that suit most interiors. RIS delivers gifts safely across the Kingdom, with free delivery in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more.
Do you deliver large wall art outside Riyadh and Jeddah?
Yes — RIS delivers large framed prints to all regions of Saudi Arabia. Prints travel flat in protective packaging with reinforced corners so they arrive ready to hang. Delivery is free in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more, and you can preview true scale and colours in person at the Jeddah showroom.
How much space should I leave between two paintings hung as a pair?
Leave a gap of about 5–8 cm between two paintings hung as a pair, so they read as one composition rather than two separate pieces. Together, the pair should span about two-thirds the width of the furniture below — above a 220 cm sofa, a combined width of 140–160 cm works well. Hang both at the same height, centres aligned at 145–155 cm from the floor.
