picture placement above couch
Comments (10)just a couple of inches left would help it look better- don't like the couch squished against the molding either... centering on the molding directly above will be more obvious than across the room-- except if you're sitting directly in the center of the couch. but the distance gives a different perspective depending on where you're standing and it won't look perfectly centered on fireplace from most places in the room anyway......See MoreHelp with picture placements
Comments (2)Oh, they're lovely! Am I reading that right -- $10 each? WOW! What a bargain! The subject matter is perfectly fine for a stairway landing - or anywhere else you want to use them, for that matter. I'm one who does not believe that we must limit ourselves to only certain subjects in certain rooms (I think that's an outdated and needlessly restrictive concept). Put them wherever they will bring you the most pleasure. Well done in purchasing them! I hope they bring you much enjoyment....See MoreWould The Picture Placement Bother You?
Comments (14)I have a piece of artwork hung like that over a door. A deer head used to hang above the door, it fell and the nose broke off. It happened to be Christmas that year and I had an old framed tapestry of the nativity which I usually put somewhere for the holiday every year. Well I hung the tapestry over the door and its frame hangs lower than the deer head, thus covers some of the top of the door casing. It was suppose to be temporary but has been there for years now. Also, a large portrait of a Civil War ancestor was gifted to me several years ago. I hung it in the only place I could find at the time. It covers part of the same door's side casing. So, yeah it looks a little strange but I've gotten used to it and it hasn't bothered me enough to change either art work's placement. I'm sure other people find it unsettling. ETA: I don't really like the way the portrait in the OP's post looks however....See MorePicture Placement
Comments (64)Sometimes I want to look at my wedding album, or pictures of my children when they were young, or art of theirs that I have saved. But I don't want to look at them every day so I don't put them on my walls. In my home I prefer to look at things that I chose because I like them as art. Some are original pieces, some are reproductions of pieces I love, and some I bought at Value Village just because I like them. Maybe people think they are impersonal compared to pictures of family members but they aren't to me, because I chose them. I think people should hang whatever pleases them and not worry whether other people will criticize their choices as unstylish, impersonal, unoriginal, un-whatever. If cow prints make you happy, go for it. Or clocks. I do think that multiple small pieces as a gallery wall are harder to put together attractively, compared to a single large piece or a pair, but that applies whatever the pieces are....See MoreJaneen Oberembt
