5 Vinyl Album Covers That Make Beautiful Wall Art
One of the most exciting things about flipping through LPs is taking in their covers. Whether it be the simplicity of AC/DC’s Back in Black or the Pop art of the Warhol-designed The Velvet Underground & Nico, often the artwork is powerful enough to stand on its own. And why shouldn’t it? The following albums are not just beautiful to listen to; they are beautiful to look at. Framed and mounted on your wall, these albums say something about your taste while they provide decoration. Which one would you choose?
Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
If you’re going for a cool, smooth feel for your home, why not deck out your room with cover art from quite possibly the most iconic jazz album of all time? Miles mid-note, a look of concentration and perhaps even serenity on his face, is the perfect inspiration to hang over the desk where you do creative work, or the couch where you read and listen to vinyl.

The Wall, Pink Floyd
For a pop of modish artwork, consider displaying the instantly recognizable cover of Pink Floyd’s The Wall. It’s spare, simple, unreadable: a white wall separating people from each other, or waiting to be knocked down. This album cover is something of a blank canvas. It goes in any room, and will pick up and reflect whatever your decor needs it to.

Revolver, The Beatles
Klaus Voormann, German bassist, artist, and personal friend of the Beatles, created this cover by combining his line art with a collage of photos. (Fun fact: Voormann’s photo and name can be seen in the lines of George Harrison’s hair.) The result is an eye-popping black and white masterpiece that would sit nicely on the wall of any Beatles fanatic.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik, The Red Hot Chili Peppers
The cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ best album features the sketched faces of the band members circling a rose. Protruding from their mouths are black tongues that double as thorns. The artwork also includes album lyrics handwritten by leading vocalist Anthony Kiedis. It’s a bold statement to make in your home and it would look gorgeous in a stark room. That rose will pop!

AM, Arctic Monkeys
It’s hard to listen to “AM,” the Arctic Monkeys’ fifth studio album, without dancing, so those who are familiar with the band will feel energized just looking at the album cover. Those who aren’t will still enjoy the cool, minimalist style. It will electrify any room. We can see it working above a bold red couch, hanging above a bed with a shocking chartreuse cover—anywhere!
