looking for some art to put above the navy blue couch. It's a formal living room - l shaped which connects to the dining room. The accent chairs are a blush pink. Walls are stonington gray.

Although I love your sofa and chairs your room isn't set up right.

The rug looks too long for your purpose. Try pulling it away from the wall so it's showing at least 12 to 18 inches of floor on the window wall. That will give you room for a floor lamp in the back corner. You'll need an end table on the other end with a lamp.

The chairs are a pair so use them together not at odd angles to each other. Put side by side facing the sofa.

The coffee table shouldn't be more than 18 inches away from the sofa. It should be within reach or it's useless.

Try the small round table as an end table with the sofa.

Try homescence/ homegoods/ homeoutfitters or whichever you have in your region, they have art at great prices for any decor scheme.

Art for over the sofa. Needs to be at least 2/3 the length of the sofa. Hung 5 inches over the back of the sofa. A painting with some of your blush color would tie it all together.

Yes, Homegoods is great for this kind of thing unless you want to spend on an "investment piece" I would go for for less pieces and use something of substantial size, less is more considering your furniture selections. Good luck!
