I'm lost... please help me choose some art!

Comments (4)Yes, a picture of the room would help, and/or info on your kitchen cabinet color, countertop color, backsplash, etc. -- anything else in the room that would influence the wall color decision....See MoreHelp with art over the sofa! I'm so lost!!! pics
Comments (21)I would hang the two prints as you showed in the second to last mockup (with the four little pieces around them, only don't use those). Then I would get two wall-mounted, plug-in style lamps to hang on either side of the prints, to give you light over the couch and end tables without the clutter of lamps there. Maybe something like this? I like the modern aesthetic, and how the curve of the back plate picks up on the curves in the artwork. ROBERT ADLER LAMP I would stick with the first rug. The flowing effect of the rug is a nice balance for the very angular feel of the couch and loveseat.. Consider this pillow from Pier 1. Notice how the flower pattern echoes the flowers in the prints and also the subtle background flowers that you almost don't see in the print. Plus it pulls down the warmer tones from the print onto the cooler color of the couch/loveseat. floral pillow...See MoreChoosing correct size/centering art work help please
Comments (4)This is a very rough and quick attempt to illustrate what I think both the previous comments are aiming that -- not the perfect solution, but the point is that the stuff on the dresser is badly arranged. You need two centres of interest, one clustering around the lamp (which shouldn't be so close to the edge) and one on the other side of the dresser. Hang the art between them. In this example, below, we are missing the taller item you need on the right to balance the lamp....See MorePlease help choose or find a wall art.

4 years agoThink about finding some reproductions of graphic design prints from the mid-century era. Could be poster art or abstract geometrics, etc. Here are a few ideas:

4 years agoLots of midcentury art had that particular green. It won't be hard to find if that's what you'd like on your walls. Here's one abstract from the first page of the search results I shared above.

However, their shapes can repeat/reinforce the pattern of your rug, as well as add the pink to the gray, blue and citron in the room. One design rule- Repetition of Shapes. Layer room with the same repeated shapes and patterns.
DIY- take pics at a nursery and print to poster size at Walgreens photo or other store. I'm having trouble posting pics, but....

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoMelanie, it's a lovely rug, with very prominent geometric design. You are right, your wall art should somehow complement it. Repeating similar colors in artwork would be a good idea. And, if you like geometric shapes, you can have those in art too, without making them compete with the design of your rug. Here are a few ideas. If you need a print in Canada, we can have it printed there to avoid international shipping charges. Since at this time we can not ship to Canada from Houzz, just contact us directly and we will explain how you can order a print of our artwork. Hope this helps... Raisa
