Also, is this art too large for this small room?

We are switching her to a bed soon, so the chair will be moved out and the small dresser will be next to the bed

I don’t think you need anything else on the wall there. The painting fills the space. A picture light seems like it would make that wall too heavy. I agree some cushions on the couch to bring out the colours in the painting would be a nice touch.

And I agree I would raise the painting up a little bit. Consider the painting fills the wall and place it accordingly

I might bring it up by as much as 6 inches. Maybe level with the top of the door frame? It’s hard to judge without being in the room.

Thank you so much liasch. I really appreciate everyone’s feedback. So the light is out- you all saved me a lot of money :). Just confirming, are you recommending it be hung 12” above the couch total?

If i can hang it higher, I would leave the family photos at the height they are currently and add a bottom row. We just took pictures again and I would love to print 9. I just don’t want the art to look like it’s floating

I would hang it just below the height of the door trim. Like this:

And I wouldn't worry about your family picture frames matching the frame on your new art. Frames should complement the art or photograph they are framing. Diffferent colors of frames in the same room are fine IMO. And even make the room more interesting.

Ty all! I need more frames, as I only have 6 of these. And one is glued :) if I do replace, I will likely use these by the stairs.
And this discussion of frame placement has me thinking! As a rule follower (:)), I thought it’s not recommended to hang art so high.

No rules. Just what feels right. At the art’s current lower level, it seems people sitting on the couch might lean back into it. Don’t want greasy heads touching it!

Ty all again! When my husband’s back feels better (I’m not kidding about this things weight!), we will play around with it. Any thoughts on the large art in my daughter’s room? In my mind, it’s sort of like a mural

Hard to tell from your limited photos if art will fit in your daughter’s BR. But I wonder if it is well suited to that space. Art is personal so I hate to comment but maybe something a bit more fun or cute or pretty or meaningful for your daughter’s room? Do you have a hall or another public room where that art might fit?

I love that art piece in your daughter's room. In the living room, the piece was washed out, but in your daughter's room, it gives life & movement to the room. It's a much better fit. It also allows color to be added to the room if desired. You have a good eye.

Thanks Lisa! She has the butterfly prints over her bed that she loves and she’s all about pink. I guess that goes with three year old territory? She loves it in her room, but only because it’s more pink and some “sparkles” (I guess she’s referring to the gold?). Who knows? She makes me laugh!

And thank you crystal!

I was going to put in the master, but don’t really have another space. I actually really like it in my daughter’s room.

Great! So go for it! Especially if your daughter loves it. That trumps what anyone else thinks. 😊

Lisa has the suggested higher placement done perfectly in her mock up posted here. Looks great, btw…beautifully framed lovely piece.

Moved!! I didn’t go as high as suggested as it didn’t feel right. I really like this and no longer feel like a picture light or anything is needed.

Looking for green pillows for the couch. I assume I need to stay with a solid? The patterns I’m seeing all feel too busy

If can't leaves of green or waves!

That fits perfect under the light. Maybe 2 pillows of brown?

Just my opinion... I'm feeling the room is off balance. Everything on the right is crowded and floating on the rug, leaving dead space between the rug, hardwood floor & wall.

Perfect!😀

Thanks crystal! The layout is hard here as furniture on the other side of the room blocked access to the pantry, sliding mdoors to the back, and the door to the study. I tried a few layouts suggested and nothing worked well for us living here. Everyone here helped me realized that adding art to the wall near the sliders should help balance, but.. I found a piece I loved for over the couch instead 🙈😂. I do hope to add a piece to the other wall but just spent a lot of money on this piece so it will need to wait! For now, I think this piece added the depth, color, and “meaning” I wanted to the room!

Should this be lowered? Again, I’m back to the rules, but I think according to the rules, it’s in the correct place. I also wanted the frame to line up with the closet trim- not sure exactly why :) but now I’m wondering if I should lower it

Always helpful to include a picture of:)

Great job eyeballing the family room art. Looks great.

Would it work to swap the butterfly prints with the larger art? Just seems that large piece needs more breathing room on a larger wall. And should it be hanging in a horizontal orientation? Might help to see more pics of,the room.

Bring the picture down. Put it evenly between the vents.

Oh no. I love the piece over the sofa and the height adjustment is perfect. I'm talking about the tree, 2 chairs, & coffee table. They are crowed together against that wall, while the corner between the window & gallery wall is empty. I think the tree is too big for that corner. Maybe a floor lamp or something similar would be a better fit. ...and maybe a narrow console, sofa table, or similar size table on the gallery wall will bring balance to the room.

Thanks Lisa! It can be hung either way. I don’t like the idea of hanging this over her bed just in case it falls. But I can try the opposite wall in the horizontal layout and see what I prefer!

Thanks crystal. I can try another faux tree I have and see if it looks better. In real life, I think it’s fine, especially if I do add the third row of frames- which I plan to do. It just may look better- who knows? I can also shift everything down towards the gallery wall, but haven’t as I was trying to maintain symmetry with the windows. Maybe that’s overrated? I can play a bit when I get home

Many have helped with the right side in your den. Nothing is wrong - except something on that left wall and sofa pillows.

Do not drive yourself crazy - from one comment.

Thank you! That looks similar to what I tried when I placed the accent table in the corner and had the two chairs on each side. I personally liked it, but I was told by others on this site that it looked horrible :-)

It all boils down to what you and your family like!

You don't need another faux tree and what about a bookcase on the other side of the room I know that your walkway area but a small bookcase for children's books or games or color books or something that they could store in it and if that doesn't interest you you can always do an ottoman with the lid and then it makes additional seating and you could even put two there one for each child I know much earlier when you were doing this room we talked about having the chairs not too close to the window but you didn't want the rug going into the walkway so don't drive yourself to nuts you can do some tweaking if you want or take some of the other suggestions I said and then the room could feel more balanced cuz an ottoman you won't trip over you should get used to it being there and get it in a light color so you notice it

Yes! I like what Lisalane has mocked up. Now the tree is not too overwhelming and the room appears balanced.

pillow from Crate and Barrel:

Hi! I am really enjoying this new painting. I keep fonding myself stopping and looking at it:) I have been looking at pillows online, but I am starting to think that this may be a something I want to do in store- so i can feel it and try to better ”guess” the correct size.

My other question is about the gallery wall across. As I have mentioned, we just took family pictures and I would love to hang 9. But, the gold ones I ordered are about a hald inch bigger in height and width. While 1/2” seems insignificant, I will need to shift everything up a tad to accomodate the outlet (likely just decreasing the spacing between the frames) and I am worried that the whole thing will just be overwhelming. Or does it look more intentional when the whole wall is filled? wWould 11x14 frames matted to 8x10 be a better fit? the wall is 75” wide and 8’ tall.

Those pictures look nice to me if you went bigger like you're talking about you might not be able to put that much across? And I like that pillow but I know you're not into pillows but two of them in the corners of the couch would look nice somebody else might like a pillow?

Thanks happyleg! I wouldn’t go bigger. I am thinking of either adding a row of 3 in the same size below. Or, switch all of the frames to one size smaller (11x14)

And happy, I am working on pictures. There are just so many options online that I am feeling overwhelmed

*pillows. I am working on pillows and pictures but I meant pillows!!

I think switching the frames to one size smaller will fit better on that wall otherwise it will overwhelm that wall and spacing will truly be a challenge. I agree shopping for pillows in person is easier and more rewarding. Especially if you have a HomeGoods or a Kohl’s or an At Home store.

Thanks glschisler. That’s what I am thinking too. I can just do 6, but… thankfully, I have so many beautiful ones to choose from.
In general, I struggle with where to place family pictures. I don’t like them in the two front rooms of the house just because they feel a little private for everyone who walks into my house to see. It’s my own craziness :) But, I have so many beautiful ones and my kids grow and change so much between the years…

I played around a bit and had ChatGPT make me a (poor) mock up. I actually think that 16x16 frames would be the right size. It would be the same width and only 8” longer.. now to find that size frame for a reasonable price!

Good Luck!😉

Ordered frames! I’m excited :)
