First picture is the one I bought in 40x30. Are the other picture better because of color? Should it be bigger? I’m thinking the piece I’m going to hang it over will be 60”

Art should be purchased because you love it, not to "match" the room. But you do want the syle to match your home. A 40" wide piece of art should work above a 60" piece of furniture, but the heights and other things on the same wall also need to be taken into consideration. Can you take a photo further back of the space you are planning to use it, and include what will be below it?

Nothing says ‘medical office’ better than matching decor and art. Get art you love, art that inspires! It will make the room feel alive!

I don’t have a piece of furniture yet but this is the wall I want it on.

The size looks right for the wall as long as you put a narrow console table under it. A simple glass sofa table with gold or black legs would look nice and add some sparkle to the room.

Thank you so much!!

IMO you are at the beach there is no need for "beach" art You buy art becuase you love it not becuase it goes with your decor. BTW that TV needs to be off that mantel and wall mounted on the right side of the FP ideally on an articulating arm witha nice low cabinet below to keep the center of the screen at eye level when you are seated .

Thanks for all the suggestions and information. I really do want a beach art picture. So here’s what I narrowed it down to. Which does everyone like?

3 choices

The colors in your art are too bright and vivid for the vibe you’ve got with your furniture and specifically your rug. Something that highlights the tones in the rug would work better to bring everything together. This is just an example, below. But the artwork you show doesn’t work with the rest of the room. Maybe use it in bedrooms?

Make it simple. Buy art you love and hang it where you can enjoy it. If you “need” to make it “work”with your colors, take a color from the art and get a pillow for the nearest chair or sofa.

I think I would put the sofas in an "L" with the chair angled left of the fireplace. Mount the TV on the wall you're considering for the art. Pros often mount them near a closet or stairs so the gear can be stowed out of sight. Worth moving connections to get your space sorted correctly for best function. Then add art that's about the size of your firebox opening above the mantel. I agree that they are a bit carnival in color for your more subtle room. Perhaps one would work going up the stairs or in a hall, powder room or breakfast nook. You might have to go a bit smaller in size if you use the art in a different area.

I think that’s a perfect wall for a gallery of fun photos of family and friends having fun at your beach house. You could get frames that make it easy to switch photos and you can update maybe each new season. Your furniture is beautiful but kind of formal for a beach house? So maybe get a couple woven pieces to make it more relaxing? I will gather some ideas for you. Bbl

You should buy something you love. If the colours don’t quite go with the decor you can always bring in one of the paintings dominant colours as in a vase, pillow or tray to link the two schemes.

I took my own photo at the beach and went online to CVS photo to upload it onto a canvas. Then I stapled some wood trim leftover from another project to make a frame. It's easy and inexpensive.

I try to get folks to “start with the end” in mind. Develop a total picture of your space and then make purchases or repurpose items you may own to fit your vision. I put these two “views” together to show what I mean. My vision for your great place is to soften the look up with natural materials and pictures that give water look without being too kitchy. But you can develop your own look. I think the “beach” pictures you have work better in a bedroom to set beach tone in those rooms. I think the main rooms need a bit more fun but still chic look to go with your furnishings. Bamboo shelf, sea grass baskets, wood trays all bring that beach texture you need. Hope these help you create your “total end vision”.

I see myself in a chair, in the shallow water! It's more casual than your fp and your room, [though it's to the side]. A watercolor or photo also could work. Oh and btw, I like your bedroom photo.

I'd like to suggest that based on the placement of the wall decor you should not be looking for a horizontal piece but one that takes advantage of the height in your entry.

Also, adding just a colorful piece of art will not always get you to the final outcome you are looking for in an area. See my examples below. Rather than trying to find the 'art' in the right color, it might be appropriate to bring the blue from the rug to the wall and then place the art on top of the correct blue wall. I didn't accessorize every photo here but you get the idea.

All the art is from GreatBigCanvas.com and you can order each piece in a variety of sizes. If you sign up with your email address you will likely receive a 50% discount on your first order.

In viewing your room, I'd like to recommend you turn the rug and center it on the fireplace. Additionally, the rug should be rolled the other way for a few minutes to get the 'curl' out of the rug. A felted rug pad placed beneath the rug would make the living room feel a bit more luxurious.

Try get something you love and appreciate. You can always pick something to compliment your home colours as well but nonetheless it doesn't have to be a perfect

Hi, Lots of ideas from the pros. Since you asked a specific question about the 3 canvas art pictures, my 2cents is the middle one just cuz the water doesn’t look as flat. I think a room looks more interesting when everything isn’t all navy and white

To answer your second question about picking art you love, IMHO art is collected over time and is something you love, something that makes your home feel like yours and not a staged house, it makes you smile. If it feels “off” somehow then consider the framing, matting, size compared to wall space, height of picture center, subject matter, colors. As for a table under it, my father and his mother had a rule a table must always go under a picture…but I love my landscape with no table under it even though there is room for one…just goes to show Do what feels right to you.

I think any of your choices would be really fun in a kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. For this space, I‘d select something more personal/unique and quite large.

Maybe something like this?

Go to local art fairs to “shop” for art.

I have never been to any beach town on the globe that did not have galleries selling canvas art of beach and seascapes. Support business in your new community.

FWIW and IMO, beach art at the beach doesn’t look silly. Beach art in an urban apartment does, and vice versa. One of the pleasures of art is that it sharpens the eye, so to see an artistic interpretation of the view out the window makes you look out the window in a new way, and vice versa.

Thanks for all the pictures and opinions and suggestions. Sorry it took so long to respond!

Large original artworks are an excellent addition that gives character to any space. Good luck and enjoy decor !
