Looking to bring more faith into your everyday life? Your living room—where family gathers and memories are made—is the perfect place to start. Christian wall art isn't just decoration; it's a daily reminder of God's presence in your home. At Faith Time Art, we believe your living space should beautifully blend your modern style with your faith journey.
Let's explore why Christian art can transform your living room, how to pick pieces that tell your unique story, and why our customers keep coming back for more. I'll share seven stunning pieces that might be perfect for your home, along with real stories from people whose walls (and hearts) have been touched by these artworks.
Why You Should Have Christian Wall Art in the Living Room:
Think about it—your living room is where life happens. It's where you unwind after long days, where friends gather for game nights, and where your kids sprawl out with homework. When you add meaningful Christian art to this space, something magical happens.
A thoughtfully chosen scripture print or Jesus portrait does more than fill empty wall space—it creates an atmosphere. It's like bringing a bit of Sunday's peace into your Monday morning rush. Your home becomes a natural extension of your faith.
What Christian Art Can Do For Your Space
- Keeps God's Word Front and Center: That beautiful typography of Psalm 23 isn't just pretty—it's a gentle nudge toward prayer when you glance up from your coffee. Imagine how a painting of Jesus calming the storm might remind you to trust Him during your own chaotic days.
- Creates a Welcoming Vibe: There's something about faith-inspired art that makes guests feel instantly at home. The warmth radiates beyond the frame.
- Starts Meaningful Conversations: "What's the story behind that piece?" becomes an open door to share your faith naturally. For parents, these visual prompts make Bible stories come alive for curious little minds.
- Shows Who You Really Are: Whether you're drawn to minimalist scripture art or vibrant biblical scenes, your choices reflect your unique faith journey and personal style.
Meet John & Zoey: Two Hearts Behind Faith Time Art
We (John and Zoey) started Faith Time Art because we couldn't find what we were looking for ourselves—faith-based art that actually looked good in a modern home. After too many disappointments with mass-produced prints that felt outdated or cheesy, we decided to create what was missing.
How It All Began
Standing in our living room shortly after getting married, we realized something wasn't quite right. We had photos, some trendy abstract pieces, but nothing that reflected what mattered most to us—our faith. We wanted daily reminders of God's presence that wouldn't clash with our contemporary style.
What We Stand For
Our approach is pretty straightforward:
- Faith-Centered: Every design begins with scripture or biblical imagery that inspires us personally.
- Quality That Lasts: We don't cut corners—archival-grade inks and responsibly sourced materials ensure your art remains beautiful for years.
- Modern Aesthetic: We've said goodbye to dated, overly ornate religious art. Our designs feel fresh and contemporary while honoring timeless truths.
- Local Production: Your artwork is created close to home, meaning faster delivery for you and a smaller carbon footprint for all of us.
With these values guiding us, we've curated seven special pieces that might be just what your living room needs—each one telling a different part of God's amazing story.
1. “Following His Grace”
A minimalist, contemplative portrayal of Jesus walking on a serene shore. The color palette is gentle—soft beiges, browns, and cream tones—to evoke tranquility. This piece shows Jesus from behind, emphasizing a private moment of reflection in a vast, peaceful setting.
Biblical Resonance
- Matthew 14:23 often shows Jesus going off alone to pray, seeking time with the Father. This painting visually captures that sense of solitude and communion with God.
Styling Ideas
- Living Room Focal Point: Place this piece above your couch or fireplace. The neutral palette blends easily with modern or Scandinavian-style décor.
- Hallway Retreat: If you have a hallway display wall, this piece can create a moment of pause and reflection as you pass by.
- Framed Canvas vs. Poster Print: A Framed Canvas in a floating wood frame lends a finished, gallery-quality feel—perfect for a main living space. But if you prefer a subtler look or are decorating a more compact hallway, a Poster Print in a sleek, store-bought frame can work beautifully.
Customer Feedback
- “Absolutely beautiful piece of art. Elegant and meaningful.” — Tammy (5-star review)
- “Beautiful print and just what I had envisioned. Thank you!” — Amanda Kelly (5-star review)
If you’re drawn to tranquil, introspective moments with Jesus, “Following His Grace” might be exactly what your living room needs.
2. “Jesus Leaves the 99”—The Good Shepherd Leading His Flock
Here, Jesus is depicted as a shepherd walking ahead of his sheep along a narrow, rocky path bathed in soft, golden sunlight. This portrayal aligns closely with the biblical “Good Shepherd” motif, where Christ guides and protects His flock.
Biblical Resonance
- Matthew 18:12 or Luke 15:4 speak of Jesus leaving the 99 sheep to find the one that was lost. For many, it’s a profound image of God’s personal care and sacrificial love.
Placement Tips
- Warm Living Room Corner: If your living room has a reading nook or an accent chair, this piece can anchor that corner, highlighting the themes of comfort and guidance.
- Nursery Option: While this post focuses on living rooms, note that many parents choose shepherd imagery for a nursery, symbolizing how Christ watches over little ones, too.
Print Formats
- Stretched Canvas: Showcases the brushstrokes and warmth of the painting, giving a timeless, comforting look.
- Framed Print: Try a wooden frame with a subtle grain to match the pastoral vibe of the artwork.
Customer Insights
- “Everyone who comes to my home loves the simplicity and beauty behind this piece.” — ESQ (5-star review)
- “Very good visual for sharing the Gospel.” — Megan (5-star review)
This piece can be a rich reminder that no matter our wanderings, Christ’s love seeks us out and guides us back to His fold. Perfect for those who appreciate pastoral, comforting imagery in their Christian home decor.
3. “Jesus Walking on Water”—A Modern Black-and-White Photograph
This close-up image focuses solely on Jesus’ feet atop the water, captured in striking black-and-white. Water splashes gently around His feet, emphasizing the miraculous nature of the moment, while the soft fabric of His robe skims the surface.
Biblical Resonance
- Matthew 14:25–27 recounts Jesus walking on water to meet His disciples, illustrating His divine authority over nature and calling Peter to step out in faith.
Why This Artwork Stands Out
- Monochrome Impact: The black-and-white aesthetic is both modern and timeless, making it versatile for various interior styles.
- Faith in Action: Many believers identify with Peter’s moment of decision—whether to trust Christ fully or fear the storm. This artwork can be a daily nudge to keep your eyes on Jesus amidst life’s uncertainties.
Where to Hang It
- Above a Fireplace: A black-and-white print can create a bold, contemporary statement.
- Entryway: The moment guests walk in, they’re greeted by a piece that reminds them of trust in God’s power.
Testimonials
- “I can’t stop looking at it!! The moment I unwrapped this, I knew it was something special.” — Tiffany Gale (5-star review)
- “Simple, lovely piece highlighting a great story with a great reminder.” — Naomi Siekbert (5-star review)
Considering an eye-catching piece that balances clean design with deep meaning? “Jesus Walking on Water” fits perfectly into modern Christian art themes.
4. “Dove with an Olive Branch”—Symbol of Peace and the Holy Spirit
In this vibrant painting, a white dove soars with an olive branch in its beak against a background of blues, yellows, oranges, and pinks. It’s a modern, impressionistic take on one of the most recognizable symbols of hope and peace.
Biblical Resonance
- Genesis 8:11 shows the dove returning to Noah’s Ark with an olive leaf, a sign that the floodwaters were receding—a beacon of hope and new beginnings.
- The dove is also frequently used to symbolize the Holy Spirit descending upon believers.
Styling Suggestions
- Living Room Accent Wall: If your living room has a neutral or monochrome palette, this burst of color can bring a cheerful, uplifting energy.
- Children’s Playroom: Many families love the dove’s symbolism of peace, making it a beautiful choice for areas where kids play or learn biblical values.
Product Format Ideas
- Framed Canvas: For a luxe, gallery-like presentation.
- Poster Print: If you’re looking for a gift or want to frame it on your own to match other décor pieces. Doves are a popular choice for celebrations of peace and new chapters (like baptisms or housewarmings).
What Customers Are Saying
- “Absolutely stunning!! The colors are even more vibrant in person. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!” — Cat Collins (5-star review)
- “Wow. Just wow. This piece is even more breathtaking in real life. Bought it as a gift for my mother, and she was in tears.” — Kristine Crosby (5-star review)
If you’re looking for a lively, uplifting design that captures the essence of God’s promise and presence, consider the “Dove with an Olive Branch” painting.
5. “Hand of God”—A Luminous Symbol of Divine Presence
A warm, golden light radiates around an outstretched hand, contrasting against cooler background tones. This painting depicts the hand of God reaching out to humanity—an image of divine invitation and compassion.
Biblical Resonance
- Psalm 139:10: “Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” This verse perfectly complements the idea of God’s guiding hand, forever extended in love and care.
Where It Works Best
- Over a Mantel: Let the piece serve as a visual centerpiece, reminding everyone of God’s constant guidance.
- Home Office: Placing this in your workspace can remind you that God is the ultimate provider of wisdom and direction.
Material Choice
- Stretched Canvas: Emphasizes the texture of the brushstrokes, giving a more intimate feel.
- Framed Print with Anti-Reflective Glaze: For those who want a no-glass effect but still desire the sleek look of a frame.
Customer Voices
- “The quality and design of this item are beautiful. Item matched the description and met my expectations.” — Caroline Hupp (5-star review)
- “Shipping was the carrier’s fault… but the picture arrived in a quick manner. Beautiful artwork.” — Debbie (4-star review, praising the product despite a shipping mishap)
God’s hand reaching out is one of the most reassuring images in Christian paintings—a daily affirmation that His love and guidance are ever-present.
6. “Holy Spirit Art — Pentecost Moment”
This contemporary, stained-glass–inspired painting depicts Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. A stylized dove soars at the top center, radiating golden beams and illuminating a group of figures below.
Biblical Resonance
- Acts 2:1–4: The day of Pentecost, an event marking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It’s a transformative moment that embodies empowerment and unity among believers.
Design Elements
- Geometric Shapes: Evoke the look of stained glass, bringing a fresh, modern twist to a classic biblical scene.
- Earthy Browns, Warm Golds, and Muted Reds: Convey reverence, tying into the theme of enlightenment and spiritual warmth.
Ideal Display
- Living Room Focal Point: A statement piece that can spur conversation about faith and biblical events.
- Church Office or Sunday School: The geometry and contemporary style appeal to a wide age range, from children learning the story of Pentecost to adults drawn to modern design.
Testimonials
- “This is my favorite Bible story and I’m excited to be able to display it in my home in a modern print like this.” — Elena Miller (5-star review)
For families who want to highlight the dynamism and power of the Holy Spirit—or those who love abstract Christian art—the Pentecost-inspired piece is both visually striking and theologically rich.
7. “Jesus in a Wildflower Meadow”—Hope and Renewal
Depicting Jesus standing in a field of vibrant wildflowers, this painting merges gentle pastoral beauty with the reverent presence of Christ. He wears a subtle crown of thorns—a reminder of the Crucifixion—yet stands among blooming flowers, a testament to renewal and resurrection.
Why It’s Special
- Balance of Suffering and Hope: The crown of thorns acknowledges Jesus’ sacrifice, while the wildflowers symbolize the renewal and life that follow.
- Soft, Impressionistic Brushstrokes: Create a dreamy atmosphere, perfect for contemplative spaces.
Display Suggestions
- Living Room Gallery Wall: Combine this piece with complementary prints—like the “Dove with an Olive Branch”—to highlight nature and renewal themes.
- Bedroom: The gentle palette can be very soothing, making it an ideal choice for a restful space.
What Customers Have Said
- "Beautiful artwork and fast shipping. I highly recommend this shop.” — Naomi (5-star review)
If you’re seeking a piece that encapsulates both the sacrifice and the hope central to our faith, this painting beautifully weaves those elements together.

Display Tips

- Lighting Matters: Soft, ambient lighting can accentuate details without creating glare. Consider placing a small spotlight or adjustable wall sconce near the art.
- Groupings and Themes: If you have multiple pieces, try grouping them by theme or color palette. A triptych of biblical scenes can be especially striking.
Maintenance

A Short Checklist for Incorporating Christian Art into Family Life
- Rotate Pieces Seasonally: Keep your décor fresh by displaying art themed around Easter or Christmas during those seasons.
- Discuss the Stories with Kids: Use the art in your living room as a springboard for family devotions or spontaneous lessons.
- Involve the Whole Family in Selection: Let your kids pick out a small piece for the hallway or their bedrooms. Teaching them to appreciate the symbolism can be a faith-building exercise.
- Frame Scripture Verses: Complement your main artwork with smaller framed verses or quotes that connect to the scene.
- Invite Guests to Reflect: If you host small groups or Bible studies, your wall art can serve as a welcome reminder of the truths you’re studying together.
