Opinions on artwork over the couch
Comments (29)I'm leaning towards the pillows with the circles more after looking at the two pictures, only because it feels lighter and brighter. I may keep the blue ones for fall/winter and the circles ones for the warmer months. Definitely good to have options! brownwynsmom - I have a matching end table on the other side of the room in between to chairs so I was unsure if another table would be overkill but that corner is lacking. I may end up moving the plant altogether and bringing in another table to see how it looks. Thanks. patty0315 - I never knew that rule about hanging art! Makes so much sense when you put it that way. I'll be lowering the picture again tonight. Thanks!...See MoreArtwork Over Sofa - Sizing
Comments (45)Love all of the opinions ... keep them coming ... I know sometimes with all the feedback it seems like everything is picked apart. I am pretty confident now in my choices, something that wasn't as true a few years ago. For instance, the glass lamp shades have been suggested to be changed a few times, as well as the removal or painting of the chair rail. Those are some things that I know I really like, so even if everyone else hates them, I'm ok with that. They'll stay because they are pleasing to me. But there are other things that once someone point it out, I can see it and agree, like the need for a taller table lamp, or lowering the triptych. I have a hard time visualizing sizes and proportions, so art sizing and placement is a constant struggle for me. As soon as the triptych went up, I knew it wasn't right. I was hoping it could be fixed, or maybe I just needed to get used to it. But it is becoming apparent to me it just doesn't fit the space, and no tweaking will make it right to my eyes. As or the dining room paintings, I really really love those where they are. That is one place that I got it right the first time with those pieces, in that spot. So since I'm really happy with those where those are and how they look over there, I want to keep that area as is. The triptych wasn't terribly expensive, so it won't kill me to put it away for now. The idea of a gallery wall is growing on me, I could see myself being happy with one. I do have a gallery wall in my breakfast nook of vegetable watercolors, so I don't hate them as a rule. I wish I was patient enough to let a gallery wall grown on it's own. I'm afraid I don't have it in me. I see decorating as a project to get finished, and not a constant evolution. So assuming I'll go with the gallery wall, I have two directions to go with, I'm drawn to both of them Travel photography: I have a pretty extensive collection of photographs from travel over the years, and travel is something I'm passionate about. My previous home nearly all my artwork was travel based and mostly gallery wrapped canvases of my photos. I also had Wanderlust made with old travel posters, so I could reuse that. My hesitation is will the photos be too small to make out? And is this a less sophisticated option vs. the original art in the rest of my house? Floral watercolors: I've fallen down the rabbit hole on Artfinder, and to a lesser degree Etsy. There are pieces I absolutely lust after, and would love to have the space for. My hesitation is my living room is pretty boldly graphic, are floral watercolors too soft and pastel? Actually, in thinking about my hesitations, they come down to the nature of a gallery wall. How do I prevent visual clutter and work with the bold choices I already have in the LR, in particular my rug?...See MoreArt Glass Wall Decor Over Sofa
Comments (71)This is the first I'm seeing of this thread. Love the glass. Not sure I'd be bold enough (and I love color too!). What's on the other side of the LR? Did you share your source for the glass? If you did, I didn't see it. I'd love to see a picture of them lit :)...See MoreElements for over-the-couch art
