Art or No Art, that is the question?
Comments (23)Thanks for all the great ideas. I would like all the furniture pieces to stay in the room, plus no other spot in the home for them. I am going to move the dresser under the window and move the chest of drawers to the wall where the dresser currently is and see how that looks and feels. TV may have to go as it is rarely used anyway. Not having a mirror over the dresser will be a change for me, lol. neverbedone - thanks for the picture, it really takes care of the space below the window and looks nice and neat. Olychick - Could I used draperies that match the current color of my Roman shades? I do want to keep them as they let light into a drab north/east room. Mrs S. - You are right, moving the chest of drawers would definitely give us some extra space when walking into the room and in front of the bed. TV not used much and it may go out of the room. RITA - Not looking for actually suggestions for art, just sizes and a pleasing placement on the wall. If I move the furniture pieces as suggested above, I may be able to also hang a piece above the chest of drawers. Again, thanks for all your suggestions, they have opened my eyes to new possibilities with the room....See MorePlease help with art and lighting placement in master bedroom
Comments (65)I want to thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, and honest (but kind) criticism. Every comment/suggestion was appreciated. I’ve cringed over some of the the mean, snarky comments that I’ve sometimes seen in other Houzz discussions (I’m sure you know the usual culprits), so I really appreciate the courtesy and the genuine willingness to help that I’ve experienced here. I feel like I can make a good decision now. You guys rock!...See Morepaint colour and art placement help
Comments (17)The square made it seem like the art was just randomly placed, since the wall is so large and the couch only comes out so far, so there’s a lot of dead space. Although I suppose there is a lot of dead space with the straight line as well... I don’t know why I am finding this so hard! I have looked closely at pale oak, but in this room it seems to look like a cool off white with a tinge of grey in it, when I would rather have a colour with a bit more creaminess to it maybe?...See MoreDining room wall art??

Comments (12)@Patricia Colwell I have this piece but haven't brought it up yet as it is quite large and I wanted to try some other things instead. The artwork below is 51" x 41", so it would only possibly work on the left wall in the photos, which is 61" long. Its 2 1/8" deep and I worried with this one that it would stick out too much off the wall as it's a walk way there to the powder room! The rug is leather/cowhide with metallic paint on the spots where they drop acid, it's a common style of cowhide. It looks better in real life than the photos definitely, but I might skip a rug altogether in this room. I will probably try it and see how it looks, and I will post photos if I do. The art work is quite boring, haha. I was trying to keep it very neutral and light, but not boring!!...See Morekandrewspa
