I need artwork suggestions for our living room!
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....

Comments (6)I like the industrial feel of the art, Poonam. I've put together a mood board, concentrating on the grungy industrial colours. I think you probably have room for a small sectional, and a few bar stools at the kitchen counter -- probably no more seating than that. I love this round coffee table, and the fact that the 'distressed' rug really does look as though it might have been in a workshop somewhere. :-) I imagine you might be mounting a TV on the left wall as you enter? Nowhere else to put one, really. If you could get a really shallow TV cabinet to put it on that would be good as it could give you a bit of storage in the room. Which may be small, by the way, but it's fabulous. Congratulations....See MoreShould we break our corridor wall or extend our kitchen?
Comments (10)Hi Mr Razis, your partner's layout of sofa seems more reasonable, afterall you want to face the TV when watching it :) I also like the idea of removing the balcony as it somehow gain more living space, and regularise the Living Room without a cut-off corner. This corner could be converted for mini hobby area with 2 small simple polypropylene chairs & a coffee table. Do not be put off by the column, I think it outweighs it's benefits. On your extended Kitchen, you could add in a L-shape custom-made bench seating as a breakfast or simple dining area. With chandelier/pendant as the final touch, I am sure this would become the 'heartland' during family gathering. Enjoy your renovation. Looking forward to have an update of the progress. :)...See More

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.

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.

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!!

7 years agoHi, 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!!!!

7 years agoA 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
