Does the artwork go togther?
Hi there! Do these art pieces flow together and go with the rug? I was planning on putting them above the couch and add a neutral color pillow or 2 to pull it all together. Thanks for any advice!

Comments (3)Hi Airycat: I like art quilts and am trying to learn more. I belong to an art quilt group through my guild and there are some very artsy gals in the group. So far I have done a small vine-type quilt (saw a picture of it in an old magazine and copied). It turned out well (which surprised the heck out of me). I have done a lake scene (someone on this site was giving lessons...Teresa NC 7 listed under landscape quilts. I did an underwater quilt which everyone in the group liked and I was pleased with. I took a class in thread painting and have to finish that project (mountains, trees, lake, flowers, etc.) I must have ADD also since I have a problem completing anything large. If you want to pick my brain for anything I might know, send me an e-mail. Lynn...See MoreDoes this art go well with the room? - pics
Comments (45)I know this sounds strange -- but my husband's old apt in NY had a ridiculously tall staircase upon entering, and I mean long and tall-about 2 floors or close. It had a glass window on the door at the bottom. anyway..... It was blank boring etc. One day I asked him what does he really like and would be a dream to put on the walls.... so while he was gone, I bled out my savings and bought movie posters and had them framed, they were 2 high and stair stepped up like the stairs. yes, it was an unusual entry, but he was overjoyed, everyone commented on it, it really looked good (his place was uber guy cave (black leather, big tv...) modern. but what I'm trying to say is try thinking of what you'd like more than anything-me I'd have animal photos of my pets lol, and the stair step approach and closer together (those 3 on your staircase look like miles apart to me) my friend in hawaii has a few colorful quilts up her staircase --looks great in the islands, just an idea........See MoreDoes etched aluminum art go better w/Stainless Steel or Chrome furnitu
Comments (2)It does not matter- art doesn’t match furniture. You could use a glass console, mahogany, or even brass and the art (as long as you like it) still goes. Pick the nicer of the two tables that work with your other furniture....See MoreCollecting art that you love vs buying art to decorate your house?
Comments (10)I love, love, love art. I do somewhat intentionally match it to my room, usually with a common color. That does not mean the dominant colors are all the same, maybe just splashes. I know this is not a popular practice in these forums. I also match the theme of art because I am drawn to people. 99% of my art is of faces. Because I am drawn to particular colors, most of my art and my decor also reflects that. My home contains art that I love but it must also fit the criteria of being able to decorate my space in terms of size, color, and theme, all while speaking to my soul. Even though I coordinate my art, my house is the exact opposite of Home Goods. Truth be told, I do have a handful of items from them ;-). You can still have interesting and unique spaces that are not all matchy matchy while still coordinating art....See More

last yearWell, what does the dog think? :-) What you're showing works, but I think you should be able to find something more interesting. It looks like there is navy in the rug. I would be looking for something that incorporates that color. But it could also incorporate many other colors. Are you replacing the beach scene in the print that shows in your second picture? I can't see it completely, but do you not like this piece - in that location, or don't like it at all? Don't be afraid to use throw pillows with some pattern either.
I second Patricia's advice, buy something you like so you won't end up hating it in a couple years. Sometimes you'll just get tired of a piece and want something different, but I have many pieces I've acquired over the years that I make work when I move because I like them so much.
