How to Style a 65-Gallon Aquarium in Your Living Room Like a Designer

Adding an aquarium to your living room isn’t just about fish — it’s about flow, presence, and peace. A thoughtfully placed 65-gallon rimless aquarium can instantly elevate a space, acting as a living sculpture that moves with time and light.

Why a 65-Gallon Rimless Tank Is Ideal for Interiors

The JBJ 65-Gallon Rimless Aquarium is built for aesthetic clarity. No plastic framing, no clutter — just uninterrupted views of your aquascape. The crisp white cabinet blends effortlessly into modern interiors, and the tank’s size makes it impactful without dominating the room.

• Ultra-clear glass: enhances natural light
• Low-profile filtration: keeps the focus on the layout
• Neutral base tones: perfect for Scandinavian, modern, and minimalist styles

Where to Place Your Aquarium

We recommend positioning your aquarium along a blank wall or in a recessed niche near natural light — but not direct sun. It should anchor the room without interrupting flow.

Pro Tip: Avoid TV placement nearby — let the tank be the quiet focal point.

Styling the Space Around It

Pair your aquarium with warm-toned woods, neutral textiles, and indirect lighting. Think natural, not nautical. Here are a few ideas:

• Floor lamp with amber-toned shade beside the tank
• Low ceramic planters with lush foliage (Monstera, ZZ Plant)
• Textured rugs in beige or charcoal tones

This approach complements the soft earth palette used in our own product photography — including tones like Lava Bronze, Mineral Sand, and Obsidian Black.

Best Fish & Aquascapes for Interior Impact

Choose fish and scaping that enhance calm and visual harmony:

Freshwater ideas:

• Angelfish with soft green plants and dark driftwood
• Minimalist Iwagumi-style aquascape with rock and moss

Saltwater ideas:

• Clownfish, Firefish, and soft coral (easy care)
• White sand base with layered live rock
