Help with art on sofa wall
Comments (10)The pictures should be over the sofa because they create a grouping with the sofa. If they were centered on the wall they would just looked randomly placed. And the reason that you like them placed lower is that it creates a more cohesive grouping with the sofa, which is more pleasing to the eye. I think that what would look nice would be two pictures about the same dimensions, but hung vertically. Obviously, you can't do that with the ones that you have. A tall plant/tree in the corner would fill in that space nicely....See MoreArt above couch - framing/positioning
Comments (8)When you use one photo in two "chunks" I think it looks better to not do the mats. In fact I like them to be stretched canvas and go frameless. You might look and see if three chunks would work or do it as one large print? (Odd numbers are usually more apealing to the eye) and that would fit the size of your wall better.

Comments (23)Hmmmm, I hate to rid of the rectangular table since I just refinished it in the grey wash to match the decor- and its so functional, ie, good height, shelves. Maybe a larger scale arc floor lamp would balance things better? Yes, there are windows behind the bench as they’re window seats my husband just built- here’s a frontal view of the room....See MoreBig art hung too high above wainscoting?
Comments (16)The art is great for a DIFFERENT space. Aside from the fact it feels very COOL in a nice "warm" dining space, it is a bit large, and a slightly smaller threesome, or one larger and warmer piece? Would be a lot better. Sorry to disagree, really. : ) But that is immediately what I see. The table is too small, and out with the plant as well. You needn't fill every corner.
