I think the table is too short and the artwork is too small

The tall green lamp would tie into the colors in the wall art.

You could maybe add a small rectangle chalkboard just below the the great art piece and right welcome on it or add something else in maybe two smaller frames with some fabric that pull from the art piece, just to make the art piece more balanced. The bowl doesn't work in my humble opinion but I think the offset and the green lamp will defiantly help! Looks great though! One more thing is I'm not crazy about the peachy tan color on the wall, I think a soft green or blue would make that art work look even better! Don't tell your husband I said so though!

I guess I am a little bit the descenting vote....I like your art piece very much but feel that if you just lower it a few inches...maybe 6 inches....put a red runner on your table and a white bowl to match the lampshade, instead of the brass one it would look cheerful and stand out. You could eventually get a black lamp to match the art frame but not necessary when you get more color on your table.

Maybe including an image from our portfolio will be of use to you with designing this table. Note the colors, and symmetry?

I have heavy pieces hung in my house and not all of them are in studs. As long as you use the correct hangers you can go into drywall. If the hubs insists on keeping it in a stud, I'd suggest a new place for it. It's a really nice piece and it may work with the tall green lamp, but it would need to be moved over to the left a few inches. I think the table size is fine, you just need something taller. Is there any chance of getting another piece but different design?

Off center but don't align it with the edge of the table or so close to the edge of the wall. Also agree that a more substantial lamp would be better.

Love your pottery piece for the wall. Very nice.

Try lowering the piece with the green lamp and don't hang it out to the edge of the table...bring it in 4 or so inches.

I like it where it is!! Especially if it needs a stud, I get it. Don't get lost in the details, if you love the piece then go with it. Your friends idea was wonderful. I like the green lamp too ;)
