Wall decor, added print, moved piece

2 years ago

I added a ’matching’ framed print in our bathroom and moved the Mackenzie Childs cow to another wall. Thoughts on this placement?

    I think less is more. The stripes, diamonds and squares are all fighting despite them all being black. I'd lose the diamonds.

    I really love the black and white collection! I think the traditional elements seem more out of place. I’d move the paintings and replace them with something more congruent to the collection. Could the cow go there instead? I would appreciate (and laugh) at its placement there.

    The cow was above the bottom print… it does look nice there. The bottom print of two children is named ’After the Bath’… fits in the bath.

    I think the black and white distracts from your beautiful wallpaper. Is the floor black & white? Hang the prints side by side. Remove the black & white accessories. They just just don't work.

    I love Courtly Check by Mackenzie Childs. I think the cow looks squished. Can he go in the kitchen?

    Cow is hilarious and adds some humor to an otherwise heavy bathroom. I’d try black frames in the art to pull the pics togeether with the rest of the blacl in the space.

    The black and white modern accent actually look good with the wallpaper, in my opinion. I have to agree that the art doesnt fit there though.

    I think the problem may be is that the window covering looks very inexpensive...like an ice cream shop awning. If it were more sophisticated I think that the checks and diamonds have more of a chance.

    The pictures need to be framed in a way that makes them pop more. The matting and frames are quite muddy in effect and don't fit with the high contrast black and white accessories and cabinetry. What if they were framed in gold or gold/black and matted with a less muddy color? They might be antique gold now, hard to tell from photo, but it just fades into the wallpaper to me. They also seem to make that side too heavy. Can you place them differently? The white mats I show are a bit too stark but something less muddy than the existing but not this stark could work.



    At a minimum, change the placement of the existing pics. Lower the upper and raise the lower side by side.

    I think you need to “pick a lane” and either go with the high contrast Mackenzie Childs or the more subdued traditional. If you stay with traditional, hang the prints next to each other above the toilet, if not, I’d put the cow back there. Also, I don’t think you need to cover every surface, it gets very busy looking.

    I put the cow back, above the bottom print. Yes, the floor is black and white tile. I will consider reframing/matting the print in a black and gold frame with ivory white mat. Thank you all


    for your comments. Strike second pic… distorted.

    tosmoz1's idea to move the paintings is the best idea in my opinion. I am also not a fan of the black and white accessories and curtains. I get that you are trying to tie in the floor, but I don't think that you need to do that. Your house, your decision.

    To my eye, having both items over the toilet and nothing to the left seems very unbalanced. What about this? Either pic works, you mentioned this one had a bath theme.

    I think your mix of the black/white with the traditional wallpaper is unexpected and fun. But IMO you have too much of the black/white - cow, tissue box, curtain, vase, etc. Ditch all except a couple of them.
