Wall art suggestions needed

5 years ago

Hi All,

I am trying to get some help on the options i have for the walls behind my 3×3 metres sofa. Here are my questions :-

1) Does the existing cushions and rug look nice with the sofa and wall color ? I like both pink and aqua and hence used them. I also like mustard and wine and can introduce them depending on the wall art I finalize.

2) How do u arrange cushions on a modular ?How many cushions and colors are too many ?

3) Should my wall art be atleast 150 to 200 cms in length considering my sofa is 300 ?

4)Should I go for one big canvas or framed print or two or three from a set ?

5) I would love to get original art but i cant go beyond a certain budget now. I have a few artists i like but i have to be happy with the prints for now. Is printed art a good option?

6) I love the new macarame wall hangings trend. Can get a big macarame on one wall and floating wall shelves on the other. Is that a good idea.

7) I dont want to hang pictures of family or photos by other photographers here. Have other walls for them.

Appreciate all inputs.

thanks.

You have a great colour pallette to work with and the options for your space will be limitless. It will be important to choose something that you love as you will be looking at it every day. Here are just a couple of suggestions from our worldwide print database....

Hi Pallavi!

Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. We're loving how your living room is coming along - you have a nice neutral base to start with, and those cushions are adding some colour you can really work with. We'd suggest adding more aqua and pink, to really make them the accent colours of the room. You can then pick artwork that integrates both, which will tie the whole room together!

Some ideas for a large artwork using the pink and aqua tones are:

Or you could add three framed prints, such as these by Marinka Parnham, one of our most popular print artists:

https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/kookaburra-and-banksia-lino-print-189190

Another popular choice is Angus Martin, who reproduces each drawing, which means ever edition is unique:

https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/ballerina-a2-black-frame-v2

https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/entrap-a2-black-frame

https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/embroil-a2-black-frame

Angus's work has the option to come framed or unframed.

These are all suggestions, based on the knowledge that you have a budget and what our other collectors are drawn to. Let us know if you'd like a different selection based more on your personal taste - we can create a curation just for you, at no cost.

Cheers,

Megan

This is a really awkward space! What about trying to build a unit into the corner which seems to be dead space. This could house the television and other bits like dvr,amp etc. The unit could then extend out towards the door in length and in height either up to the start of the window or up to the start of the blinds. I would suggest drawers for toy storage and books above. In this way you leave the windows clear for light plus it looks like you have a pull down screen so the tv would be out of the way of that. This arrangement would also hide all those wires and cables! Ikea have some good examples of storage which you could adapt or copy, such as Besta which illustrates the extended toy storage. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S39927155/

brown is another 'neutral' color that works with black and white scheme. Would be helpful if you can provide photos or links to the samples you have chosen.

What a fun space! Love the pillows...I agree with above, lower all the frames, but not so low little ones can reach. The art should fall at eye level about 5'4" for walls and for behind the sofa not more than 12" above it. Then keep the width about 5" inside the sofa length on each side. Your frames are small so you need the close together for impact. I would start with some pretty curtains for the door and large window and then a simple Roman shade for the small window- since your girls play there you don't want anything they will grab hold of. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/query/how-to-hang-a-photo-gallery

I could see a set of three pictures with white or silver frames and anything really that just incorporates your room's color. Make sure they are large enough to fill most of the width. You may also want to add more pillows and large shams type pillows for a more interesting and complete look. Your lamps are a bit too small (see lamps' proportions in pictures). Hope this helps.
