Edit your collectibles. Don’t hang on to a piece that just doesn’t fit. I don’t care if your great-aunt Sally gave it to you. If it’s not working for you, then find a new home for it (maybe in a different room). The unifying theme here is the use of black in the utilitarian pieces. The balance is almost perfect. It reminds me of something Coco Chanel said about accessorizing: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” In design, know when to stop.
Galleries and museums hang artwork so that the midline (center) of each piece is 57 inches to 60 inches from the floor. (The average human eye level is 57 inches.) And you should do the same. In a room like this, where the ceilings soar, there might be a tendency to hang the art higher. But remember: It needs to relate to human scale, not the structure’s scale.

Check out Majestic Mount paint by Behr. I just painted an accent wall in my room and the color is similar to this. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/620F-5 1 Like Bookmark March 25, 2014 at 11:12PM Check out Majestic Mount by Behr. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/620F-5 or I would guess Ben Moore Stone

Try Dior Grey Benjamin Moore OR IT MIGHT BE RESTORATION HARDWARE SLATE

Threes and fives make for more pleasing arrangements than even numbers.
