Art for a corner wall

last year


Trying to figure out the right art for the wall adjacent to a samsung frame tv; seems that one big painting will compete with the TV; two tall verticals? a "collage" of small pieces arranged as a grid? Opinions appreciated.

    What a colorful and fun looking space! Consider using a metal wall art so it doesn't get too busy with all the other eye catching things going on already, it's exquisite!

    You'll find some nice options on the Etsy website.

    IMO frame TVs are silly they fool noone and to ge hung like art are always too high. Turn the TV off and then get a pice of art you love for that othe rwall and A much lower cabinet for the TV to be hung at the proper height The cabinet is nice maybe give it a nicer home instaed of a TV stand purpose

    Because you are clearly a maximalist, and to balance out the short landscape orientation of the frame TV, I'd get a large portrait orientation piece of art for this wall. It will give some "there-ness" to this corner, anchor it.


    I like your frame TV. It certain tricked me.

    Love the frame tv there! I’d probably do a collection of smalller pieces on the adjoining wall - maybe lower contrast so they don’t compete too much

    A beautiful wreath will add texture and you can pick up the colors of your other art and furnishings.

    Kendrah, thanks; we've had other frame TV's, but this time we purchased an aftermarket frame (from decotvframes.com), the extent to which it changed the overall look blew me away. As to the space, this is a small pied-à-terre we have in NY, really the only suitable space for a tv, so this is in effect our den/tv room.

    Your space is very unique. I think it is awesome! It seems to be all about art. I would embrace it and add a large piece.

    Love the cabinet. Who is the maker? Fun room.

    This looks so fun! Can we see more of the room?

    I get so tired of Patricia and her nasty comments. Give it a rest, Pat.

    You have a lovely cosy space.
    I likefriday has an intriguing solution.
    The large picture fills that area nicely.
    Consider other pieces that size; maybe a tapestry or wall hung oriental type carpet ?

    Maybe something "sculptural" would be more unique.

    I have a Morbier clock very similar to this one and I think it could look unique in your space and tie into the golds in the room. More traditional that the other elements we seen in your photo, but it might give you ideas for other unique things to hang there.

    Love your room! I think I’d embrace the

    maximalist vibe and do a gallery wall/ collection of pieces on that wall. I really like the art suggestion @ilikefriday put out there. It’s a fun room for sure, lean into it.

    IMO some type of 3D element for the wall would be a nice relief.

    Given your room, thought you might like to continue with bold colors and adding volume will help offset the visual weight of the console/tv and fireplace and tie in the colorful mural. If available, choose more dynamic art for your tv‘s image.

    Some really ”silly” & inaccurate comments are made on here. I have a teak framed ( after market ) Samsung TV hung over ( not too high, lol ) console from Room & Board, I’ve had several people comment on my ”art”, including one who owns a VERY high end gallery, but perhaps my friends & relatives are not as discerning as some on here. Btw, the ”art” can be customized in a myriad of ways, plus, there there’s thousands of options avalailble online. i realize i’s not ”art”, but its preferable to looking at a big black box! It DOES fool some, but, as I said, perhaps they’re not as discerning, LOL!

    @kpyeatt…. lol, aren’t we all?

    I too have a NYC studio, on the same floor as our 2-bed apartment. It is our den/office/laundry room / guest space. I like using larger pieces of art in there instead of a gallery wall or diptych. Small and fiddly pieces makes the space feel smaller. Larger pieces make the space feel bigger.


    Would love to see the rest of your space if you feel like posting pics.
