What artwork or wall art do you recommend for the wall above the sofa?

10 years ago
This is a new apartment and I need help to get the right art for above this small sectional. I don't want to spend a lot, but am really looking for suggestions! Thanks!

    It looks like you have an abstract piece in the room, so why not continue with abstract art?

    That is so true!

    Maybe a touch of color? I would remove that disk and get a bigger lamp

    Your space is very nice and you have done a good job with décor, but the dining chairs are not good. They really look out of place, like you needed extra chairs and brought those in from dining room. Can we find something more appropriate?

    Beverly, I really like the canvas art you selected. Can you provide me with a direct link to that specific piece? The link is just taking me to the main website. Thanks for your great recommendation!

    You have done a beautiful job on your space!! Don't change a thing...I would add art with a light background..it will pull in the white leather from the dining chairs and add balance. Something like this would be calm and modern but pull all the color tones in the room together.

    Excuse me, DMarie, I just realized that is your dining room :>) Still not happy with the chairs though.

    Thank you Julie. I like the art you referenced and want to view on the website. Can you perhaps provide me with a direct link? I see that you are in Texas. I hope to learn more about your services as I am working on accessories for my new home too.

    No more art...it will compete with what is over the gray settee. I suggest you find another spot in the house for the round mirror. Replace it with what is over the t v.

    Add a good size clock...right over the middle seat of the sectional.

    Your room is very neutral. Don't think I would suggest artwork with bright primary colors as that might look out of place. I would, however, suggest artwork that is rather dark in color and brings some drama to your room.

    Hi @sushipup2 i don't understand your call. I came up with solution for her needs. Best regards.

    I would try Pier 1 Imports. I bought a gorgeous framed glass enclosed print that hangs over my futon in the livingroom. You could hang a round mirror over the sofa...they are elegant and classy. You could hang a big, unframed oil painting over the sofa or group wicker baskets and wicker pieces over it along with some enlarged photographs.

    if you want a clean, high-end look, a single large horizontal canvas is definitely going to look sleeker and less cluttered than a gallery wall. To keep it budget-friendly, don't buy a pre-framed piece—look for a canvas print wrapped on a wood frame (about 40x30 inches to fill that tall wall), and choose an abstract style with navy and cream tones to match your pillows. It'll give you that high-end designer vibe without the custom framing price tag!

    Here’s an idea for a gallery of wall art versus one large square print.

    i think the gallery wall looks much better in this room rather than one large piece. Id stay away from abstract. it doesnt vibe with rest of decor

    For this wall, I’d avoid several small pieces and go with one large horizontal focal point above the sofa. The room is calm and neutral, so something with texture and contrast would help, maybe a large abstract piece, a three-panel arrangement, or even a lightweight dimensional wall sculpture.


    The most important thing is scale. I’d aim for something roughly two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the sofa, probably around 50–60 inches wide, and hang it fairly close above the sofa rather than too high.


    Since the room already has a round mirror on the left, I probably wouldn’t repeat another round piece over the sofa. I’d use the sofa wall to add depth, texture, and a stronger focal point.
