Art for Dining Room

6 years ago

Looking for new art. The size works but too bland.

    We need to check all the sizes...and tape them on the wall.

    Your art is very pretty....what don’t you like about it?

    lets replace the clock and look For something fabulous for the middle of the table..I still have family in town so can’t do much until maybe Sunday.

  • 6 years ago

    Sounds good. NO rush! I do like my art..the square size is perfect. Added a silk orchid that I had.

    Better! The new centerpiece is much better -it has a wider visual mass that lets the eye rest

    OCD kicking in.... Can you center the table and rug under the chandelier? It looks off. A little to the left?


  • 6 years ago

    Tried some art I had in place of the clock.

    Both are nice..,I think I prefer the first one..is it coral?

  • 6 years ago

    I prefer that one, too. Yes, coral.

    I think you can go bigger on the center of the table..don’t be afraid to add color.

    Ok...I have a few floral suggestions if size is right

  • 6 years ago

    Great!

  • 6 years ago

    It's about 17" high and the base is about 7" across.

    I know these are not cheap but the width and height would be really great on your table...love the bit of color too....the Extra width is what you need...you may have luck at home goods just keep and eye out...these are both from Birch Lane.

    The price is no problem and I have some gift cards to use. :) Those are both beautiful and love the color.

    Here is the taller one. When sitting at the table it would impede your view of others. I like them both, though...

    you have a lovely dining room and really like the chandelier. it makes a very nice statement. have you considered sculptural 3 dimensional art instead of 2 dimensional art?

  • 6 years ago

    Julie, option 3 from Pottery Barn. I'm really liking it the longer I live with it....

    Hey Becky....that was strange..now I found you:)

    can all your chairs fit around the Dining table? I think the chairs flanking the China cabinet are what is distorting the look of the wall art??

  • 6 years ago

    Welcome back! Yes, I have used all 6 chairs around the table on rare occasions.

    Would you mind putting all chairs around table and posting a photo? All the florals are wonderful...no wrong choice.

  • 6 years ago

    Ok, I will do that when I get home tonight! Thxs

  • 6 years ago

    I think 6 chairs at the table is too many. I bought the table and chairs separately and got 6 chairs to have two extra. But the table did not come with 6. Side note, if I center the table under the light, it is not centered on the rug....I need to try moving the rug.

  • 6 years ago

    It's a lovely dining room and seems very traditional. Do you have a good sense of humor? If so, consider reproductions of vintage food/nutrition/eating posters put out by the government or food companies. You could do a gallery wall of them or just a couple of larger ones to replace what you have now. Here are some links:

    Becky how often do you need the extra chairs? If only a couple times a year..maybe find a easy access storage area for them...it looks nice without them against the wall..

  • 6 years ago

    Rarely to never so I'll store them.....somewhere! I think I got the rug situated finally. I decided not to angle the table this time when I put it back. I think it looks better this way?

    Becky it looks beautiful and your wall art really is perfect....much better without the extra chairs....do you have extra wall paint?....I would paint out all the switch plates to match wall..they will just disappear.:)

    Yep, already planning to do that! I moved the table back to its previous placement. It gives the chairs more room. Thanks for the help! Feel like the room is perfect now. 🙂

    I am not starting a new thread because my foyer is open to my dining room and thus these pics need to flow/work with the DR/LR. My sister in law gave me these botanicals and the only place I can use them is in the foyer. They go well with the rug. @HomeInteriorswithEase--what do you think? There is a 4th one but the glass is cracked. I could have the glass replaced if I need 4. The only other room in my house that is yellow is an upstairs bedroom and I already like the art--there is no room for more.

    A few more. Is it ok for the foyer to have totally different colors than the rest of the main level??

  • 6 years ago

    Excuse the mess in the LR!
    Just trying to show the art with the rug.

  • 6 years ago

    The three pieces of art fit the entry well, and a grouping of three is better than four. Art does not need to "match" your rug, or anything else. Do you like the botanicals? Is that the first thing you want people to see when entering your home? Personally, I would look for brighter, fresher, art for that space. But the botanicals work there if you like them.

    Hi Becky..I would replace the glassOn the broken one and stack all four in foyer..they will look great and pull eye up. I like the warm tone looking from the dining room😍

  • 6 years ago

    I assume it is correct to center them between the stairs and the front door and not between the plant and the front door? I was trying to take into account that when the door is open, I don't want a picture covered up by the door. Make sense? Thanks!

  • 6 years ago

    Love your living room rug it is beautiful ...looks so nice in your room.
    I notice you have faux greenery through out your home. Do you mind me asking your source? They look so real! I’ve been looking for small monstera leaves like the two on your mantle.

  • 6 years ago

    Hi, Mary -- Thanks! I found the rug at Tuesday Morning 3 or so years ago. I can't remember where I got the leaves....some place like Pottery Barn, I think.

    Home interiors with ease, I love your suggestions and style! I’d love your input on my current post about breaking up the colors in my dining/kitchen area. I’m thinking of switching my wall art around and would love your input. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5865570/help-me-break-up-this-sea-of-beige
