Art on wall behind piano
Comments (10)At first glance it looked like a.) somebody barfed on the keyboard or b.) the crime scene where the piano player died. To the OP: You're thinking about it wrong. Three pictures with all the matting and the space round each one will mean that the pictures will be so small that they will be indistinguishable from the distance that people will see them. You want one large piece. If people could get closer comfortably, then a group of 3 might work, but not in that setting. But first of all, decide what you want for art--the frames and mattes are the last thing that should be driving your decision; the artwork comes first. So--what do you like? What speaks to you? Buy that....See MoreWall art too small
Comments (4)Before you purchase something else...get a sense of how big your art should be for this space. Get some blue painters tape and start measuring! Your sofa can use a much larger piece. Check out what is available on Greatbigcanvas.com or Art.com. Great pieces of art at reasonable prices....See MoreArt Art Art! Need suggestions for on or above fireplace decor.

Comments (13)I agree that the rug is much too small as well as dark. The tones are taking away from the distinct table base and the coordinating chair legs. As an admitted minimalist, I'd have no rug there or one that's the same color as the floor but textural. The floors are beautiful. Given the many hard reflective surfaces, I think a mirror would be too much and would prefer a textural art piece. The height can't be greater than what's there now due to the vent. Although I really like the candlestick lamps below, it may look cluttered due to the glass cabinet close to the sideboard....See More
