How should I hang art work on these walls?

last year

I do not know how I would place wall art on these wall because it is off center. I am also not sure what to put in the space after the couch were the carpet and tile change! Please help me! I am stressing out.

I bought an large area rug for the room and also not sure on what accent pieces to use.

Area rug for what room? You need to post pics of the art also the siazes and the sizes of the walls or we just work in the dark guessing.

I haven’t bought art work yet. I am not sure what to buy or how to arrange. Also the rug is a 10x13 for the living room (couch area).

I want to add color through throw pillows and art work.

Top of the artwork on both sides should form a straight horizontal line. In this case I would make that a small but noticeably lower than the top of the TV. Because you are framing the fireplace with the same chair I would continue the symmetry with your pictures. In this case 2 on each side. They don't have to be the same pictures but they should relate. I'd also suggest making all the picture frames a darker tone to provide contrast to your wall color. Just my take, I'm a fan of symmetry when you can make it. It's more soothing on the eye.

I could see a more natural feel for this room being complimentary and ideas over headboard are below as well as for accessorizing Think about how you want the whole room to feel before adding more In sitting area, try high boy on other wall with mirror above and if you added a bookcase on the far wall and chair under window it will be a cozy little reading nook. A Kilim rug would be lovely there to ground the space. Another idea, if you have another spot for chair, you could make that area more functional with a vanity.

ideas for art work on this wall?

IMO you buy art because you love it not because it “goes “ with the decor. I think one of the giant floral wallpapers would be great on that wall. BTW wood slat blinds and that chandelier do not work together

Thank you! Yes, I ordered white wood blinds and I am considering adding white curtains with black rods. I have 2 more windows on the other side of the room. The room is basically empty because this use to be my formal living room (that we never used in the 13 years in the house) and making it a formal dining room.

I'd put blinds Bamboo blinds, more contemporary, on the windows and open the drapery panels on each side of the windows... only need the drapes pulled when you want a total darkness.

I'd put large art in the indented area with a table and lamp

Ambient lighting is a must for any room.

A tall piece of furniture on that tiled floor that meets the carpet.

I'd pull the sectional closer to the tiled edge... away from the window move the ottoman to the far side... and the side chair. ... find a new play room for the kitchen set.

We might recommend placing one vertical piece of artwork over the little wall over the sectional. Then you can add a larger end table, some plants in the open space, and/or a console with artwork/mirror/clock over it. Here are some ideas for you that might be helpful:
