Your picture display looks lovely with your sofa and will look better if you bring it down because it's a bit too high above the sofa ( unless you plan to keep adding to the picture collection below from where your pictures are hung now) and in that case just keep in mind that multiple frames look best when arranged in a diamond, rectangular or square shape and spaced relatively tight, like 1-2 inches apart. A looser grouping can work for a more casual display.

I'm feeling i'm flying blind here. But here i go. What are your interests and hobbies. For example, i always like hiking. To make hiking more interesting i got interested in mineralogy, and thus added shelves to display my mineral/rock findings. P.S. Trumbul, CT, USA has up to 32 different types of minerals...topaz included

I think pops of bright yellow would do the trick. Yellow is a color that's very easy to work with, a great accent colour - especially if your current place is on a dull colour scheme.

Help! we are redecorating our 1980’s architecturally designed home. A new kitchen is going in - modern - white with a black stone top. The dining and living rooms have been opened up with a wall removal. some of the walls will be painted but the stairway and wall leading into the dining room will be difficult to achieve a paint finish. How can we achieve a modern look with some white painted walls and one very long wall will need wallpaper? Any ideas? Anaglypta? thankyou!
