My guess is. (sharing my experience too)

They get obsessed with some art first

Then if needed they tweak the room so it'll work better with art..))

(or they don't)

We did repaint once because I was so taken with my new art..Not to match it-I just became obsessed with the light in it..

well it was an exercise in futility. I mean it was a beautiful wall color(which I then tried to repeat in the new house as well, since I love it so much)-but it didn't have that inner light in it..I couldn't catch it))

I love that painting too..the first grapefruit posted

kejepson it's hard to advice as you can do so many things..art is very personal. What you're drawn to? abstracts? Portraits? Landscapes, urbanscapes, flora and fauna? Serious, upbeat, a litlle weird, humorous, happy?

What are mediums you like? Can be oil or can be mixed media or can be photography or can be posters or etchings or prints or whatnot

I love 3 D things too..ceramics, glass..but I'd be wary to put them over the sofa as we're in CA. But maybe you love such art too..and you're not afraid.

Your dogs are too sweet for words

Do you plan to add a side table? i think would be great to have..with a lamp on..spot to put a book, a cup, besides the coffee one

Saddle colored leather sounds gorgeous

Those of us who love art and own it decorate first around the art and buy furnishings that harmonize with the art. So art first. However, we realize that sometimes people come to art after they've made furniture, rug, wall paint, flooring, and other decor choices. So then, start with colors that link with the decor but in styles and subjects you like.

But if you love cool blues or grays, a smidge of gold/ reddish gold/camel will harmonize, and you can pick up those colors in pillows, rug, curtains.

When you find an art work for over the sofa, hang it about a foot or less above the sofa so the two link visually. However, for other walls, art should be at eye level regardless of ceiling height. To get that, measure 57"-60" to the CENTER of the painting, which will then be at approximate eye level for most people. Put the hook so that the painting's center is at average eye level.

Photo of sofa style and color? Are you painting the space? What are you planning on doing with FP area?

Maybe one of these original artworks would add some texture and contrast to your wall. Here are some ideas to ponder. Good luck and enjoy decor !
