My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

painting larger than sofa

8 years ago
Hi- I am assisting someone with decorating their condo. They purchased a couch and a large scale painting that is larger than the width of the couch. How can I hang this painting behind the couch without it looking odd. Open to suggestions of rearranging room. The white couch is now gone and replaced with the blue grey .

    By adding some end tables, lamps, a larger rug, some colorful pillows (pull from painting) and may be a big plant the visual mass of the painting will be balanced.
