Wall Art advise needed

3 years ago

Hi. I have Analysis Paralysis. I want to to put something on this angled wall but not sure what. I was thinking a square 40” by 40” painting or picture. Can’t decide if it should b e something that pops color wise or more neutral like the room. Was trying to incorporate the olive green of the chair and pillows but have been challenged with that. Can’t decide if I should have one large or multiple prints of the same size or like a gallery wall. I would like something more interesting than your basic Bed,Bath and …or non descriptive office print.

I would be looking for art that makes my heart sing. Depending on what you find you may have one or two pieces.

I agree with not getting office or hotel art, but finding that perfect something that speaks to you.

You can search for juried art shows near you, or if you live in a larger metro area there may be a space where multiple artists rent space (San Diego Artist Village in Balboa Park). Shop some galleries, some are really high priced, but some are more reasonable. Some art centers have shows throughout the year and often have some local artists work on display.

If you like wildlife art, wild wings magazine has more than most magazines and represents some pretty good artists, but most of the art offered is on a smaller scale. If you find something you like you can seek out the artist to see what other similar pieces they may have and if other sizes are available.

If there isn't a good, juried art show sometime in the next month or two you can usually look up the artists that attended last year.

I go to one in Mt Gretna PA every year. It has a wide variety of types of art and artists each year.

Here is a list of the artists from 2022.

Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show Artist Catalog and Preview (mtgretnaarts.com)

The Artful home has some interesting art and sculpture.

I love wildlife art and will often just google wildlife artists or top wildlife artists and see if something pops up that pulls at my heart.

While either option fits in the space, I think a better option would be to remove the round mirror and place two coordinating pieces side by side, one on each wall. Seek out local artists and buy some original artwork that you like. You’ll be supporting a local maker and it will elevate your space.

You have a pair of MATCHING CHAIRS! Select a pair of coordinated pieces of wall decor or paintings. Place a round table between the two chairs

I am not understanding the use profile of this space. 4 armchairs, a 3-seat sofa without orientation to the fireplace or outside picture windows and view. Some have lighting and the sofa doesn't. This could be a reading or laptop/phone use space for a number of people. Like a modern reading room. Or 7 people can sit and discuss topics. No use of the fireplace. No watching Nature out the windows. I think this needs a scale layout with scale furniture pieces to move around in experimentation.

Add another round mirror; each chair gets its own side table. Perfect spot for floor lamps.

I think this room has some great elements. While, I'd love to give you decorating ideas, the room first needs a good floor plan.

It feels blocked from the front hall and there are too many chairs.

Would you be interested in advice on rearranging the furniture? Thanks!

I like Beverly’s suggestion. Note the distance she shows between the art and top of chairs.

Two art prints that are similar over the two chairs might work wonderfully. We think getting prints with an olive ton or which has the olive color will work. However, you don't have to get prints that are bright. You might look for some art online or in stores to see what you find. Notice the artwork that is similar in each of our designs below.
