I need some artwork suggestions and ideas for our main living room wall. I had another post in regards to design suggestions, but this one I am looking for art specific advice and suggestions. Color, style, Photography vs. abstract, etc. Thanks!

P.S. I have absolutely NO decorating skills, so I am clueless for where to even begin with this....

    I would move your sofa to the right and square the gray chairs up with the sofa.

    Thanks! Unfortunately with the shape of our living room and the size of our furniture, we can't move anything... we might be able to move the couch down a foot more towards the chairs but that would be max.

    Here are some wave suggestions. I think it would be good to draw in your black and brown colors...and I think a photo is an option. I don't have the darker one on etsy but if you are interested let me know and I can get you a larger view of it. Here is a link to the lighter one.

    Chairs are turned at different angles : (

    End table too tall for sofa.

    Rug should be centered with the fireplace then add furniture.

    Center chairs with the fireplace and put their front feet on the rug.

    If you want to add color art is the perfect vehicle.

    Liz Duer, she can draw in the gray, black and white, but it should also have some other colors - like mustard yellow, oranges...Color is missing in this room.

    Consider adding two end tables with lamps on either side of the couch as er612's photo. If there is not enough space for two tables, then add one table and lamp on window side and a floor lamp on the other side. There should also be a lamp on the table between the chairs. Please square off these chairs. Now for the art: hang what you like, in any colors you like...with your black and white color scheme you can use whatever colors you want. The key is not to hang pictures too high: about 58" from the floor to the middle of the work. Look online, check local art shows and shops. Buy what you love and it will look good.

    Liz's art works and is hung the right height. The option is to add color or stay with a monochromatic scheme.

    I would recommend large contemporary photography as the best choice for this room. I would choose ocean/beach print (there are plenty on Etsy) or nature with green scenery.

    In a black white and gray color scheme adding art with strong warm color adds life

    Another idea are large, over scaled photos of flowers. Adding these photographs in a back entry way transformed the space from dull to highly personal.
    I suggest you use hot colors red, hot pink, purple or yellow to lift the mood in your mono chromatic room. Have fun with your choice. Look at lots of images, go to museums. Choose something that makes you smile.

    Hello,

    . I am not sure if you have found d any artwork that you are looking for but I would love to work with you on a commissioned piece or two of artwork for your home. I am internationally known and recognized for my Eco-Art and the generalized color pallets that I use would work perfectly with this space. If you are interested please check out my projects and message me here or you can view my portfolio at my website www.contemporaryandmodern.com . Please note that all my work is currently placed in galleries for the month of November. You can also contact me at contemporaryandmodern@gmail.com !

    I just wanted to provide an update on my artwork and thank everyone for their wonderful suggestions! Along with some slight rearrainging, we ended up ordering a couple of pieces from a local artist, Jonathan Havelock (http://jonathanhavelock.com/) we are so in love with them! Thanks again to everyone who took the time to provide suggestions and advice!!

    Hi, do you need those two big chairs?

    how about giving yourselves more room. Sometimes we think we should keep something cuz we got a deal or had it for a while or... Paid A lot

    def tone down that huge white wall with a Warm gray.

    Move the couch where those two big chair are and float the light modern chair to the right of FP.

    Go for a boost of color with art. The room is a bit cold with all the cool dark gray.



    Go for something Big Square and Fierce

    !!!!

    I like the ideas being generated here. More color and if you can't do end tables with lamps easily. What about replacing the standing lamp for something bigger and more dynamic?

    A splash of color would be key to this setting. My wife's play room/knitting room has color tones as your living room. Few months ago she bought (expensive) large colorful paintings to hang in the room. They were a bit loud to me in the beginning due to the amount of color but over time are quite pleasant to have. Very beautiful to look at and the work is astonishing. Similar to the photos I am posting below

    yes and those type are available on etsy for not to much. i will show some others in case you have begun to look at more. not to replace yours. Saatchiart has some beautiful reasonable ones from all over the world. hard to pin those down though. these are some examples of etsy <$250.
