advice on how and whether to place these ceramic flowers

last month

I am thinking of placing these ceramic flowers in a scattered pattern over a chair in my main living room. I feel they are going to waste in my closet over and around a giant mirror. Want to move these down to the living room need advice on placemat or if I should do it at all

    From what I see of the DR those could work on a wall not sure the purpose of a throw on the chair and for sure I would not do that color in a gray room. Hard to tell size of the flowers and the wall where wanted . Take a pic from further back so we see the whole LR .I like those flowers but can't help with a yes or no without seeing that whole space

    Prop up one of the flowers on the living room chair and take another photo to show size and style.

    love the flowers.

    take a photo of the whole room to see perspective.

    I think the chair is too much for the doorway. Can you swap the tiny table with the chair?

    Looks like the ceramic flowers are in a bedroom now? Mirror reflecting hanging clothes, not a good look.

    To anyone following this thread: TAKE PICTURES OF ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE ENTIRE SPACE YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT EVEN IF IT'S JUST ABOUT A SMALL DETAIL.


    Design minded commentors consider an entire space even if the Dilemma is about a small detail. In this case, the OP is asking about some decorative ceramic flowers. Well, we can also see a big animal art work in athe djacent space. How do the flower-y decor pieces relate to the bold animal picture? We can't help wondering why is a chair plonked down in a walkway instead of connected to the seating in the rest of the room, which isn't shown. These are the kinds of things the Commentors are questioning. It's not about ceramic flowers but how introducing them affects other details within view. That's why we need to see the adjacent spaces from all four sides.


    Good point Lyn Nielson makes even though it seems off topic: Why is huge mirror facing and reflecting a clothes closet? This is the kind of stuff professional notice right away, not to be nit picky but to help an OP with a Design Dilemma elements they aren't seeing in the same way.

    Post #3 about this space. You have been asking about these flowers. Let's see a photo of what you have done with this corner since you moved the shelving.

    I think I will switch the chair. I originally had it the other way around.

  • last month

    Moved chair. This was its original location had moved it when I had removed a tall bookcase someone mentioned to remove it on another thread on here

  • last month

    Chair is now not blocking the doorway

  • last month

    Plan to remove round mirror and small table by front door. Replacing it with either a floating shelf or just another

  • last month

    More substantial mirror

  • last month

    There is one large flower.

  • last month

    May put a large rectangular one in that tiny entry. As u can see , this city living. Small house big gardens. Spent too much

  • last month

    There is usually not clutter at all in this room. We are moving stuff that will go to my niece incoming

  • last month

    Does Anyone think I need a long rectangular mirror or should I take that big round one at put that in the entry ?

    Adrianne -- it's customary to put all comments in only one or two replies, not reply separately for a reaction to everything above it. It's too hard to follow, otherwise.

  • last month

    I was not able to do so.

  • last month

    Maybe I need some help when posting? Sorry a bit challenged.

  • last month

    I will ask others to help in the future

    Thanking everyone in advance for their advice

    Thank you for the additional photos. Some comments:

    --Chair and couch should each be about 18" from coffee table. This distance add conversational feeling to the space.

    --Remove the table and lamps behind the couch but leave the couch in place so there's a feeling of airiness and you leave the window more open.

    --Center the rug on the window and couch. It looks off centered.

    --Move the chair forward so that the coffee table is reachable from it and it's closer to the couch. This will create a cozier layout and conversational grouping. The chair and couch look much better without the throws. Consider an attractive floor lamp behind the chair for reading instead of the little lamps on the TV side and don't worry about the ceramic flowers. Not all this, of course since it's a tight space but something more functional --side table on the right of the chair. A wall sconce might look nice.

    --Why do you have all these little lamps? Remove the ones behind the couch and on the TV console. (Just put a basket on there for the remotes so it doesn't look cluttered.)

    --I don't have a clue about the ceramic flowers, but I have an opinion about the dark gray walls, which are a downer in a long room--a bit cavelike feeling. Consider painting the walls a simple white and add white linen type curtains at the window. Down the road, of course, since you only asked about the ceramic flowers.

    I like your art work and how the rug and art works "talk to each other." Go for this feeling in your room with light walls, well chosen art.

    Very good advice. ! I may have a table like the one pictured. The room is short and fat

  • last month

    I want a floor lamp. Possibly a very modern one.

  • last month

    Rug is in that position because it is centered on the floor. The room is 12 by 12 excluding the tiny entry

  • last month

    Here's a slim, modern floor lamp that works with your chair. It's from Pottery Barn and has same brass metal finish as your coffee table.

    I like this. I was looking more modern but this is very clean. I am Getting rid of tiny lamps in the room

    Would this compliment my dining light hat is nearby?

    It would be challenging to find a floor lamp that would complement your curvy dining light. However, if that's what you want to do, then get a floor lamp with a drum shade to echo the dining light shape, though the one I posted fits more neatly into the space behind the chair and the brass finish mataches your coffee table.

    I like the shape of the one u posted earlier. Shape was very appealing to me
