Living room wall art

11 years ago

I've just rearranged my living room and need help with what to do with the walls. Everything already up is from before the move. The wall with the TV - I'm not sure any art would work? I think anything above the tv would be too high and maybe distracting? Do I need to remove the black/blue painting that is already there in the corner behind the TV? The wall with the shelves... I started taking down the shelves but if I remove them the previous owners never painted behind them and I don't have any info to match the paint exactly. I really want to avoid repainting. So I need to either hang something big enough to cover where the shelves are or do they look ok there? The one I already started removing was drooping because the anchor was pulling out of the wall so I'm unsure I'll even be able to put it back up. The wall with the orange picture is HUGE. Is there anyway I can leave the orange pic there and put something else next to it that won't look out of place? If not - any recommendations for what can fill up that wall? I already have a huge collage of smaller photos in the hallway so not sure I want to go that route. Thank you so much! I've just over thought it and need another set of eyes on it.

You could center the orange photo and add a piece on each side. Something simple like wrapped canvas with fabric you like folded around it, or black and white photos blown up without frames.

Could you mount your black shelving the long way on the wall with the orange picture? IKEA has a lot of those types of shelving too-it might balance the tv side.

The tv wall is tough, you need something tall to the right. You could do an oversized stencil to mimic wallpaper, just to fill the void.

Yes I would remove the panting behind the TV. Really does not make much sense there plus you cannot see it.

Nothing above the TV needed. Leave as is.

I am sorry to say but I am not fanof the shelves. It does nothing for the wall. You need something will bring color,into th room and really make the area pop. It's not a huge wall could you paint the wall an accent color? Then you don't have to do the entire room. Just a thought. If not you can bring a chip in and have a color match done so you can get the right color paint.

Where they positioned the shelves even if you hung something over it, they are not centered properly.

The wall with the Orange painting, if you add usually it's a coordinatimg picture which probably does not exist in your case. Could you get a thin sofa table to put on that wall and center it. You could then put a lamp and even a mirror above it. There are times I have us to separate a large wall and I have used sticks in a vase or a thin tree which near the sofa table creates a separate look and the pm the panting you already have becomes a different section of the wall

I know this is not the style you have but this gives you a visual of what I mean by separating out the wall.

Good Luck!
