Art work and sofa chair, and sofa back cushion help needed

11 years ago

I am looking for budget friendly artwork suggestions to go above my sectional which is 9 feet wide. The wall colour is BM Calming Cream and the surrounding accent colour is a deep red/burgundy (on the roman blinds to the left and accent pillows across from the sectional in the hall bench). I was thinking of a large stretch canvas piece but haven't come across anything in a store in Toronto. Does anyone have experience ordering stretch canvas from online retailers and do you suggest that? Or does anyone in Toronto have retail suggestions?

The 2nd piece of advice I'm looking for is to replace the single sofa chair on the right. What do you suggest? I was thinking of either looking for a sofa chair/recliner in black to match the base of the coffee table and the grand piano to the left, or cream or possibly brown to match the seat cushion of the sectional.

I'm also looking to replace the back cushions of the sectional. This was custom built 13 years ago when we did our big renovation, and over time, it's worn down. I'm thinking of getting something a bit more sturdy that is more boxy in shape than the pillow style. This was a replica of a Ligne Roset sofa we had seen in a store but was too big for the space, so we had it custom made to fit.

We live in mid town Toronto, Ontario, so anyone with suggestions of vendors we can go to there would be ideal.

Thx K

Hi, I found these that are relatively large pieces of artwork (oil paintings) at fair prices at InStyle Home & Rugs in downtown Toronto. Link below pictures.

There were several examples of original artwork available at Canvas Gallery in Torinto also featuring both established and emerging artists. The website did not show pricing....but perhaps something to check out?

As for a new side chair, perhaps something similar in style to these below from Urban Barn....modern and complements your gorgeous Noguchi style table. As far as color, it's hard to suggest without knowing what fabric/color you are envisioning for your sofa or if you plan on keeping or changing your rug, wall colors, etc. (which many times does happen while or after someone updates a space) ....but perhaps a charcoal or dark gray vs. black or even a deep red/burgundy (your accent color).

Thanks. I will check out both places and for pricing. On the artwork front, how does ordering artwork on line work? Is it too risky to try and judge colour from a computer screen?

As for the colours, I am not changing anything as the rug is only a couple of years old as is the Noguchi table. The sectional I still love but it's the side chair that I would like to get rid of. I do like grey or charcoal but wasn't sure if going with a new tone would work with the cream and brown. The base of the table is black. Also the material of the sectional is ultra suede.

I'm going to the casalife warehouse sale today to see what they have. Thanks for sending along the pictures.
