What will balance this painting ?

il y a 6 ans

Need help to finish decorating this room. I am thinking of bronze metal sculpture above mantel, but then how about wall space by doorway. I need side tables, how many and where to place them, by the couches or between chairs?

Can the painting be hung horizontally?

I would do one side table in between the chairs. I would place the sculpture on the left side of the mantel and have that be the largest item on the mantel. Maybe add a couple smaller items as needed. I don't think I would place anything on the wall by the door.

A plant or tall vase with botannicals would be nice by the doorway.

I love the idea of a bronze twiggy sculpture above the fireplace like this which would echo the lines in the painting:

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment
Q
Commentaires (2)
I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

Colours - which colour and where!?
Q
Commentaires (0)
This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all done. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave
Q
Commentaires (84)
bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

IMO the painting is too large for it's current location ( it also looks like it is hung sideways) I would find another place for it and hang another painting over the fireplace. Try out either a mirror or smaller painting in that spot and see how it looks. Also, the colour of the current painting feels a little too matched to the chairs and cushions. As mentioned above, you need some side tables as well.

agree with the other posters......need side table in between the accent chairs. See pic below...use this pic for placement...not style.
Idea # 2

Look at these types of sconces where the light is from the top and the bottom. That look will enhance your fireplace design and still give you symmetry.

I think the painting is too big for above the fireplace, but something rectangular (or perhaps circular) has to be there. The design is begging for it. A mirror? then balance the visual weight of the painting with, perhaps, a dark turquoise bowl and dark cushion to the left. Not the finished look, I know, but maybe useful?

Wallpaper or paint the back wall so that the entire wall becomes the focus and the painting is an accent on the wall.

Thanks for all the inputs. So Just one side table between the chairs or can I have two more by both the couches along the fireplace ?
Interesting table lamp in between the chairs or it will obstruct the flow of the layout ?
Or two lamps by the couches ?
Rina how you placed mirror and vase on the picture ? That’s amazing, definitely will help me to play with design.

Yes, one side table enough. The lamp may be too much. I agree that the painting seems big for the space. I prefer the idea of balancing the fireplace with a pair of sconces.

Yes something sculpture-y or masks.

And, a round bronze framed mirror over the fireplace.

I would move the painting to the wall behind the couch on the right and find something wonderful to hang above the fireplace. Right now, the painting is fighting with the fireplace as the focal point on that wall.

Then a tall (and not too skinny) spectacular lamp on one side of the console table with a smaller painting or piece of art above the table to balance the lamp.

Very pretty room!

I have a similar setup in my FR, and a round mirror over the FP did the trick.

Navreetbassi, good morning from here. use Microsft Paint to do mock-ups. There are a variety of software packages you can use.

I don't think a vase would work well on a table betwen the chairs, but if it were me I would get the right table and then try putting on it something I already have, a lamp or something lamp-sized, and see whether it feels right. If it doesn't, a pretty bowl would be nice. You could fill it with snacks when you have guests. Not sure about more side tables on the fireplace side as I can't quite judge the space there.

You do need to do something with the coffee table, though. Something like the tray Jjam has on the ottoman in her pic.

Jjam, your room is beautiful!

Pull the sofas closer to the coffee table - 18" away is the maximum distance for it to be useful. Rectangular table between the chairs unless you want to angle them; then use a round table. The art is too big for the wall and the mantel. Do you have a dining room or foyer where it could shine?

Your focal point is your fire place. I would concentrate on an oil painting there first and then see what is needed if anything!

How about a gold drinks table between the chairs

Paint the wall where the fireplace is in your preferred (teal) blue. Then hang up above the fireplace the sculpture justerrilynn shows in her second picture, but horizontal instead of vertical and maybe slightly off. Ditch the Buddha. Hang up your favorite life motto on the blue wall above the side table.

If you are not going to paint the wall blue: get rid of the blue chairs. Maybe get rid of them anyway, for they block the way and scream focal point while seen from the back (not so nice...)

Add something of the red, you already have everywhere else. Am not fond of the pale yellow pillows. Place a tray with several kinds of (blue) candles on the coffee table.

Thanks Rina for Microsoft paint clue. Will try it. I should have mentioned in my post, Kids Friendly. I know my coffee table cry for some accessories, but with 4 and 6 yr olds, I keep spaces between couch and table clear enough to run around. Maybe another year or two. The painting in real is not big, with open plan and high vaulted ceiling, picture is not doing justice, because everyone visited has praised it.

I like the size of the painting for the space. Art doesn't always need much extra space around it, everything depends on the total effect in the room. And if you like the sculpture Justerrilynn posted, it's a great match for the room. Not matchy, just works with everything.

Justerrilynn can you please post the source of the sculpture you suggested above ? Thanks Rina for understanding the feel of the painting.

Sorry Navree, I can't remember. I think I did a basic google search using "teal wall sculpture" or something like that and looked using images. Sorry : ( It's very beautiful!

Don't mind your painting, I just think it's hung too high. Right now your art is hung equal distance between console and ceiling and is throwing things off IMO

Thinking, if possible, top of painting s/b at about the same level ad top of doorway on other side.

It would help the symmetry issue

I would stack 3 pieces of art on left side of fireplace to bal larger

A round mirror above mantel would add interest

A ceramic Chinese garden stool could be used between chairs - in a pinch it also becomes another seat

My first thought for the left side was plates. Two stacked or even starting about the doorway and wrapping down around that side. I'd pick ones with the same colors in the room.

I don't think the painting is too large for the wall space, but it is competing with the fireplace and neither is benefitting. The teal color on the wall helps, but it still isn't great. Adding more stuff helps balance the wall, but it takes away from the painting. To me, that image is an active figure that demands attention regardless of the direction you hang it. I think it should be the star on the wall -- either hung horizontally above the mantel or in either direction on the wall to the right behind the sofa.
