Artwork design advice needed

last year

I need inspiration on what to put on a large blank wall. We have a sectional in the corner of the room and a blank space at the side of the sectional. I feel if I use 2 or 3 pictures above the sofa it will be out of balance. Do I need something vertical on the wall to fill the space between sofa and door and something above the sofa? Modern style home.

    Get a large piece of art.

    765 studio/residence, a modern residence in Atlanta, Georgia · More Info


    You can also collect more pieces and work them around the sectional.

    Classy and Collected · More Info


    There isn't a right or wrong way to do this. Some people like one large statement pieces and others like a wall full of eclectic pieces collected over many years.

    It takes time to collect art. Only buy something you love and it will be with you for ever.

    Can you turn the sofa so that the one side faces the FP but the other side faces that wall? Then I would go looking for a fabulous huge piece of art on that wall or even a mural from a good p;ace that does them custom to fit the wall. maybe something like this Then use the colors from tay fpr accents

    Creating a room via what the latest home trend call for is a great way to make your home sterile and furniture store like. What do YOU love? What tells your visitors who you are? What do you want to look at everyday?

    arcy got it right - you need a large piece of art that makes your heart sing.


    I just purchased a piece that would look great in your home and makes my heart sing, but may not be the piece that would make your heart sing.

    I had shared a photo and info on the art show where I had found the art here:

    There may be another artist that captures your heart. Juried art shows are a great place to find art, but they also usually provide the list of artists and you can buy from the artists directly if the show is over and you missed it.

    Transform your space with abstract art in warm, earthy tones. These captivating pieces seamlessly integrate with your decor, infusing your home with modern sophistication and creating an inviting atmosphere. Elevate your environment and let each artwork tell a story that resonates with your unique style, making every room a reflection of your personality.

    To each his own, I personally have never understood the love of abstract art. If I am going to spend my money on art it will be of something that I can recognize. Love my wildlife art and botanicals and florals.

    Art should be in your home! You should love it. Art is personal. Don’t spend money on art that doesn’t make you happy! I’m an artist and I want every piece I would sell to go to a good home and make the space special for the people in it. Style of art doesn’t need to match the decor, just the person who owns it. Go out and enjoy looking for something you love.

    Can the rug be moved a bit closer to the fireplace wall? That plus something on the widened rug area at the far end of the sectional (floor lamp and plant here, could be end table with table lamp) would reduce the sense of too much empty space between the sectional and the door. Also, the fireplace wall looms rather oppressively dark to me. Maybe add another piece of light-matted art above the fireplace to lighten that wall, making it background to the art rather than empty foreground? (I did lower the TV a bit, don't know if that's possible. And I'm late chiming in, I know; took a while to figure out what I liked!)
