Coffee table and wall art suggestions with sectional please help me!

8 years ago

Hi,


We wanted and got a large sectional for the tv room - it looks better in person than in these photos. The walls are BM Grey Owl (they don't look greenish like in these photos) and the floors are Barnwood Rustic Pine (coretec tile). I know the room needs color and warmth and would love advice on:


1. Wall art - two oversized canvas paintings? Husband likes this Monet and I was wondering what might go with it.


2. Coffee table - rectangular wood??


Thoughts?


Thank you!

    It looks like you really like blue. so any of your rugs is fine. but if you want warmth, you will have to bring in a warm color, red, yellow, orange.

    i like a touch of gold with gray.

    Finally on the topic of art. i always believe that you should buy art that you love and that you should buy original as much as possible. never buy big box store, you are paying hundreds for glorified posters. if you want posters they have monets for 8-$10. other wise look local or go to etsy or saatchiart, you will find many that will give your monet a run for your money. if you find those prices too high, you can get an artist copy. if still too high, i would go with the new style for a couple dollars or less they will send you an online copy of the artpiece. send that to an online artshop they can make it as big you want. they have these cool ones now where they printed on glass. anyway you are then paying only the artist and the framer. and if you save the email that contains it. that is pretty much the same as a signed print. not totally original but much less chance of you seeing it again.

    Hi

    I like the 2nd pillow, 2nd coffee table, and 1st end table.

    I have no idea what I am doing design wise, so many times I go with what someone suggests (if I like it of course). For example does the pillow have to include a color from both rug and couch or just one of either?

    Can I use warm accent colors, like art to create warmth or does it have to be in the rug?

    My husband likes blue, so that’s how we got the rug. I can return it if it doesn’t look good and go with something warm.

    thanks - I ordered this rug from Pier 1 - I could return it if it doesn't look ok...I so hate doing this - I spend an abnormal amount of time reading these boards and still second guess myself always. Like with this rug - is it too dark??

    Having fun, can you explain further how to get an artist copy of art? Is this just from Etsy? How do I get it enlarged? Tks

    we are trying to bring your little vignette all together, so all the decoration for the room. you are dealing with 3 main colors, gray, melon and turquoise, right now you totally have that.

    your paintings, like your floor do not count. think of the paintings as your jewelry, if you own a large inherited ruby, and your best dress is purple. you have an important event to go to. you and noone else cares if your ruby matches your purple dress you wear it and beam, because they are both so beautiful.


    i have an example from etsy, though i am sure that saatchi does too.

    sorry i forgot. i am sure you can go locally, but since it is already on line. you could send to any of the million printers, they can print it any way and size you want, including on canvas. i want to try the printed on glass.
