How should I decorate this wall?

Question

I have a wall with a single picture on it that seems a bit small. Should I add more pictures? If so, how big and where? Or should I use a different type of decoration around this picture? I would love to hear your views. Here's a picture of the wall: http://i11.tinypic.com/2vcuizd.jpg.

Answer 1

the wall is a very nice red but it doesn't pop with the small picture, would add a plant real or silk behind one of the chairs, tall enough to be seen above the back of the chair 2 feet taller or so, offset the picture to the right or left of the chair with plant behind it. Then add 2 smaller pictures to make an arrangement of 3 pictures. if only keeping the one small picture lower it closer to the table and put a floor lamp next to chair inbetween the chair and small table opposite of the chair with plant behind it

1. You can add two more pictures with the same frame. One should be larger then the one you have and one frame smaller. Cluster the pictures together.

2. You can put up 5 frames horizontally with a black frame and white/off white mat with a black and white photos in side accross the wall. (Note you could do the same with a different colour frame such as the one you have but they would all have to be the same size.

3. You could put up a picture ledge that runs horizontally accoss the wall (3 or maybe even 4 foot would work) Then put some frames of different sizes on the ledge. My suggestion would be to use the same type of frame, so if you are going with gold use all gold... (here you can use just one long ledge accross the wall, or you can use two smaller ledges...)

4. Finally you can use mirrors insead of a picture frame. Three mirrors of different sizes and shapes or five mirrors of diffent sizes would fill up the wall.

Hope this helps.

You need some more definition in the room go with something on either side of the picture, I would try for something that runs on more vertical lines. Some multi-candle sconces would go well. Also, some gold-tone throw pillows on the chair and a nice green plant on the stand would pop nicely. Great color on the walls though!!

Answer 4

Yes I think the picture is to small also it is hung too high , could the picture be re framed with a larger mat & frame? maby if you used a taller cabinet it would help. try adding more pictures first make pattern of different sizes and tape them up and get an idea what will look good, maby some coushions no the chairs[black &gold] ? hope this gave you some ideas to think about good luck

Answer 5

Not only should a picture be hung at the right level, it should also relate to other objects in the room. Instead, place a picture above a table, sofa, desk, sideboard, bookcase or fireplace, fact, any piece of furniture or architectural detail that will visually anchor it.

Answer 6

first of all i love the color, sticking w/ the same picture a nice brass toned sconce on each side would flow well w/ the chairs and give you a very elegant look and adding a medium size crown molding would really set it off

Answer 7

Looks good you might want to think about putting on some crown molding though, that would liven things up a little.

Answer 8

I think you should buy another bigger one with cold colour, best is blue. I think it will be suit with the hot colour red of the wall.
