I have laid out all the pieces I would be comfortable displaying in this area. For sure not all are needed. I have a white 35" round tulip table coming for 2 chairs in front of the window and heating space. Any rendering ideas?
This is the table coming (not the chairs :() Above
Below lots of options...

Some are made from my adult children but thought it would be fun to display. Love any help.

Need help selecting artwork that will compliment purple artwork
Comments (31)Thanks all. I did go with the Allure Blossom. It's coming today. I don't think I could go with a mirror on that wall because there is a hutch to the right which has mirrors in it. I really like the purple and yellow bowl from Pier One; will see if they still have it or something similar. Might be sending more pictures of my next dilemma in the living room. Another picture where I can't seem to find another piece of art that compliments....See MoreNeed advice on Wall Art placement and Size of Art
Comments (16)@groveraxle I really, really like your placement of artwork with the four pieces!! Thank you very much for your input!! Would you say that the 2 smaller black and white pieces are 8x10 frames? I'm trying to figure out what size of frames and the 2 larger canvases are, so I can make this look happen! Also, do you happen to know where the floating shelf below the tv can be purchased? Or something similar? You made my morning with your help!!!...See MoreNeed so much help... but let's start with art over the fireplace
Comments (4)I like the gallery wall. as for the artwork, I really don't think any of them work. then again, it could be those yellow/gold walls. perhaps painting the walls first would be a good idea? so, what if you removed the white mantel altogether, and replaced w/a single wood mantel? it might free up a little wall space between the ceiling and allow more space for art. something like this? this is also a narrow distance but everything they've done is proportional. here is a good size art piece with a similar FP like yours (notice the smaller windows, more on that below, and furniture placement). another one w/just a single reclaimed wood piece. or, you could try something like this: as for tv placement, how about something like they've done here? you would have to do smaller windows, at least on the tv side, but you'd gain extra storage w/smaller windows furniture layout above, or below would work or put the tv on the gallery wall and move the gallery elsewhere....See MoreNew bathroom - Need help with wall art
Comments (28)There are lots of great suggestions here. I love the idea of the black towel ladder and the shelves above the toilet Personally, I support the idea of art on your walls and I love your pallet. I understand the comment of selecting art/pictures via colour scheme. but I am going to suggest a different way of thinking about choosing art for your bathroom/ home. It may take time tho, to followup on my suggestions if you consider following them. I would just like to add that I grew up in a home that was filled with beautiful art. My parents could not afford the 'real' thing so my Mom cut beautiful pictures out of magazines, framed them inexpensively as she could, and hung them in groupings on our light pained walls. First your bathroom pallet is calm and restful. It will not compete with most art that you choose, but instead will create a back drop for the art. I see art as a relationship with you and the art. Art is personal and meaningful. I would scour art galleries and their artists on-line and in your area to see what type of art appeals to you and your husband. ( see note below) After finding out what you like, you may purchase a piece from a gallery, furniture store, an art auction ( fun!!!!!) , or grad shows/sales for art schools. ( I paid 300$ for one pice that I bought from an art school sale,) or painting guilds. If the art talks to you , it is is a sign that it belongs in your house. Good art stands on its own and does not need to be expensive and also just needs a neural backdrop to show it off. You have the neural. Generally people are consistent in choosing art they relate to, so the pieces you choose will have some consistency. What matters also is the space and placement ........you have to place your art. For above the towel rack, I would suggest a piece no wider than 5" on either side the of the towel rack and no higher than the top of the mirrors. If the art is wider, then it will not be "supported" and then it will add tension to the room. I'd suggest placing a piece of art between the mirrors . I would suggest that it be higher than the light switch, slightly lower than the lights in the light fixture and 4"to 6" or so from the edges the mirrors. I'd also put an art piece above the toilet. But that is me. I don't mind living in an art gallery look. If you are considering art just because you think might be a suggestion , but you love clocks, I think you should choose clocks. If you love clocks tho, than you would be following your heart and then I'd suggest you look up clocks on Houzz and see what people are doing as they decorate with clocks.I'dd recommend one clock between the mirrors, : fram the mirrors. and a grouping over the town rack and then place shelves over the toilet. CB2 has clocks, Chintz also had great clocks. Note: My contractor's wife said she and her husband had different art tastes, so I worked with them by listening to what they liked in art and looked for art on gallery websites. Long story short. I sent them images art that combined what they liked and they ended up choosing a piece that they both loved. On the other hand you both might like the same art or one of you might not care so you would have an easier task. I have a framed batik under glass, a stretched giclee canvas and a framed under glass relief in my two bathrooms and have has no issue with moisture from the showers /tub. If you don't put art between your mirrors I would recommend framing them. food for thought...............See Morelmuhrich

last yearMorning. Here’s a thought to take you out of your comfort zone. I’ve often thought a piece of art that mimics your view at the other end of the room was a cool idea. I know, I know, it’s not edgy like boulder art. But as your sitting at your desk working, you can be dreaming about getting on that little red boat and sailing away to some dreamy place. Okay, I’m done 😂😉😘. Here are some of my favorites. Monet. Simple unexpected floating frame.

last yearIt's all looking fab. As for something by the computer, instead of something flat against the wall, how about something that hangs down from the ceiling like a macrame plant hanger with plant. I would hang it to the right of the computer so its not directly over the computer.

last yearHey there. I saw this lamp and had to share. Not as cool as your arc lamp but pretty darn cool just the same.
