Should I hang the artwork in the center of the couch and add
Art and mirror on the sides or should I hang the artwork on the right side and add art and a mirror to the left of the couch????
I know I want to hang it 8-10 inches above couch.
Please help!!

    I'm not sure, but I just wanted to chime in to say I really like the artwork, it is soothing.

    Consider art you can hang horizontally that’s about 2/3 to 3/4 the length of the sofa. I wouldn’t use mirrors or more art. Not a pro…see what they suggest.

    Would be helpfu to see more of the room, what is on the left and right outside of the shot of this photo?

    I agree find another spot for that piece and get one larger that does not need stuff around it at all. It would also be helpful to see the whole room . I do think you got the art to go with the furniture so never the I buy art . I buy a piece I love first then maybe do something in the space to work with the art but never the other way,i aslo do love the wall color with the sofa

    I bought the artwork because I loved the mossy greens and blue/grays. I never thought about my ugly couch. My carpet is a moss green and my drapes are a beautiful dusty blues and greens. It’s so hard to find large art pieces for my large wall affordable. And, YES I will put away my laundry 🤣

    Try marketplace on Facebook or Home Sense. Both will have something. I really love that piece but I have to agree it doesnt go above the couch. A rectangular horizontal something does.

    I can move this artwork to either of these two walls.

    I’m thinking the wall between my living room out to my sunroom is too small.

    I like it above the bench.

    Right here!!!

    Why??

    same issue down here as over the couch!!! So…. no :)

    The bench isn’t the best there either

    A vertical piece over the loveseat is likely not the best location for that canvas. Additionally, there's likely a sofa in the room. What is hung over that?


    The piece looks like it could work successfully here.

    This looks like a great entry space. Assemble something that is monumental for the space. The tufted bench is likely better at the base of a bed then in this location.

    I think it’s too large next to my
    Picture window

    I like it here by far and maybe have someone hold it up to get a better sense. The right height will be key.

    It's the internet. Put it where you like! You ask? You get opinion. If you have an opinion? No need to ask: ) It's your home.

    GreatBigCanvas.com offers large artwork for walls and often offers 50% off on your first purchase.

    Here's another site.

    Rooms can easily handle large canvases, but people tend to buy what can fit in the back seat of the car.

    @loramarra can I ask where you found the picture? I reminds me of a favorite park in Colorado. Here is a photo I took a few years ago!

    Will suggest the you find another piece of artwork that is more horizontal and one to fit the size of the space above the sofa.

    To help…if looking to add something else there, see below. I find that no matter how nice the art is if size and placement are off, its impact is lost.

    The same guidelines are relevant if using more than one.

    Thank you! I need to buy the correct size art for above my couch.
