Scale of Art/mirrors over furniture pieces.
Comments (5)http://www.invitinghome.com/Mirrors/Mirrors_Placement.htm http://www.interior-decorating-together.com/ideal-spacing.html may help The number one design problem people have with mirrors and art is too small and too high ... you get dinky art floating way above the sofa. It depends partly on the height of the dresser - you want someone looking at the mirror to see their face, so the mirror should be hung high enough for that to be possible and have a mirror and frame height that does not look oddly floating above the furniture. It also depends on what else is on the furniture ... a tall lamp may serve as a connection between a mirror and the dresser where the mirror alone looks floaty....See MoreArt Glass Wall Decor Over Sofa

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 MoreArtwork - Center over sectional or entire wall
Comments (7)Not to be contrary ;-0 but I would center a large piece over the sectional and fill in with a table lamp on the end table, not more wall art. The remaining wall is fine blank. I would have a piece (or something like a diptych or triptych) that at fills in a great portion of the area above the couch....See MoreOff centered art, yay or nay?
Comments (62)Insightful ANE....bah ha, who wants to spell out aprilneverends. Referencing your thoughts on movies and books and undone. I think I will add the Undone philosophy to "moms take on life" for my boys. Thy can finish this sentence they have heard it so much. Its from the mivie Wonder boys. Don't worry about what other people think. Most people, don't think. "Obviously can't be used in all life situations". We have totally hijacked this thread....See Morechispa
