Help with wall art choices for over my sofa

5 years ago

I'm in need of help choosing art for over my sofa. This is a new build and I'm surrounded by blank walls and indecision. I picked a few I think I like. The tapestry is from my previous home. Do any of these look good? Is there another style art I should search for? The walls are 11 feet and my sofa is 82 inches. Across from the sofa is a TV and another big blank wall for a future help post :) Please help. TIA

I think your mirror is not big enough for over your mantle, so first try your tapestry there, and that doesn’t work for you, if you like the ”Uttermost Parade”, use that over the mantle. Move the mirror elsewhere (possibly to the left of the TV, and add more plants over there in taller planters).

I would also suggest picking one or 2 nice round textured trays for your ottoman, and if you like the ”Stratton Multi Circles”, put that over your sofa. Pull your sofa a bit forward while you are at it, not so pushed right up to the wall.

All your furniture could be pulled more toward the center of the room for easier conversation. Might be nice to have a floor lamp for reading in the corner to the left of your fireplace, behind the chair. Think about adding small snack tables and foot rests to your wing chairs. They don’t need to match. I don’t think you need anything over your TV.

I like the gold leaves one for over the couch and I would do substantial gold arched mirror on the fireplace with some large wooden candlesticks on each side

How about a gallery wall of your favorite or family photos?

Karen Haynes That;s a nice idea. I just did a gallery of my pics on a wall in the eating area of my kitchen.

ital mover If I put the tapestry over the fireplace, do you think the Uttermost Parade would look good over the sofa (hubs isnt fond of the multi circles)? I do need a floor lamp. I pulled the chairs and sofa to the center a bit more. Would a floor lamp still look ok next to the left chair if its not near the corner? It would have to go right next to the chair and maybe a little behind it so it doesnt interfere with walkway into dining area. Thanks for idea of moving the mirror next to the TV.

I think either the Parade or Leaves would be nice behind the sofa — go with what you prefer. Adding a couple of complimentary trays to the ottoman could be nice

and I think a table lamp on the left end of the sofa would be good once you put art over the sofa. It doesn’t need to be fancy

Skip adding a floor lamp to the wing chairs if the cord is a tripping hazard or it’s too much of a squeeze, but a pair of toss pillows with blue tones for the wing chair might be nice

these might be too much like your tapestry
