#1) Long Layered Floating Shelf Above The Couch Wall Decor Idea

Hanging a shelf above the couch is a great place to start decorating!
If you can’t find a shelf long enough or the right size, make a quick stop at your local hardware store and buy a board that is the right length.
(Consider the back of the couch the design frame, and make your shelf just slightly smaller to fit inside of that space).
With a couple shelf brackets you’re off to the races.
In the photo above, notice how the layers of square frames and plants fill in this large space nicely with a variety of color and texture.
#2) Chic Gallery Wall With Oversized Frames & Mats

It gives the collage an upscale feel and looks incredible in a neutral room.

Circular mirrors are a wonderful anchor piece of modern farmhouse wall decor.

However, they can be stylishly included to a shelf grouping and used to decorate larger living room spaces as pictured above.

I had to include this living room decor idea because of it’s creative design layout and incredible height.
I love how the longer shelf frames the couch, and the upper shorter shelf helps cap the design.
What a great idea to hang them a generous distance apart and use that area in-between to feature your favorite art.
#18) Heads Up Above The Couch Wall Decor

If I’m being completely honest, I’m not a huge fan of animal heads in indoor living spaces.
However, there is always an exception and here is one of them.
This light tan deer head looks great with the dark blue shiplap backdrop and the corresponding couch color.
Framing the space with an accent wall detail like shiplap or a contrasting paint color helps create a feature all on it’s own.
