Love your furniture!! And you have so many possibilities for amazing art touches for this room. To me that wall is screaming for a large vertical piece with reds, yellows and a pop of green to make the room "pop" - perhaps an abstract painting something like this ("Shaken, Not Stirred - 60" x 36" acrylic original painting on a 1.5 gallery wrapped canvas - $995). I'd move the square wooden boxes to the corner and get pillows to match the colors of whatever artwork you choose. If you don't want to go with an art piece on the wall, maybe think about changing out the rug underneath the ottoman to a brightly patterned rug and add a colorful vase with one of the rug's colors to tie in the accessories better.

This might work if you don't mind adding just a bit more red to your decor :). Our artwork can be printed in any size on fine art paper, canvas, acrylic or metal. Happy decorating!... Raisa

That artwork is fabulous. I think it really suits the room actually - just a few tiny accents of colour around the room and it will be very very nice. I love the cushion suggestions in the above by asquithoatley. Some low, small cement candle bowls with a touch of painted colour could do the trick to tie the artwork to the coffee table.. and a dash of colour or white on the table would do nicely. The table and the artwork really hit it off in this room nicely.

Brianna, I agree with Debbie about the light shade. What a beautiful table your Grandfather made for you. It's certainly one to treasure. I would make some rectangular placemats in an upholstery fabric that can be washed. If you are making them yourself, prewash the fabric first so that any shrinkage should happen in that first wash. The fabric should be much lighter than the table. As for the middle of the table, how about a nice round or square plate. I wouldn't have anything high that would interrupt conversation. The other thing for the middle of the table that would work would be 4 square glass vases (9-11cm square and 10cms high) with a pear in each. Cheaper than fresh flowers and you can eat the pears when they are ripe.

Zazzle.com.au have some cool and affordable posters you can then frame with IKEA / KMart / target frames etc... try searching graffiti for something edgy or beach photography for some Cali type images... or there's architecture shots too. There's multiple sizes available and you can then try matching up to frame before purchasing.. Good luck

Hi Lila, If you are looking for bird artworks (not certain that you are?) we have a whole aviary collection you might like to check out - available in a range of sizes to suite your space. We offer these either framed as shown below, or frame-less, more details at the link, but both use the transparency of the perspex medium to create a stunning three dimensional effect that brings them to life. https://www.signarture.com.au/collections/aviary-fine-art-bird-prints-on-perspex We have a whole range of collections from abstracts to treescapes that you might like to browse for inspiration if birds aren't your thing! https://www.signarture.com.au/

I had a red sectional with dark taupe walls/ drapes and black/white photography as my main artwork. I only used red again in very small bits, like a stripe with other colors in toss pillows and a rug. I did have a sea shell watercolor with hints of red in it, too. My point is that red furniture is Bold! Don't over do it with lots of matching red everywhere. Here are a couple of examples:

Jennifer, I can see you liked our "Portrait of a Heart" piece, thank you! I am not sure if you have already seen the second option I suggested - more stylized art photography pieces above, but I have just remembered that we also have a set of 2 vertical images that might work in your room as well. If there is no room for both pieces, you can just hang one.

I missed it somehow when I made my original post. This will introduce a rather neutral shade of bluish gray (or garyish blue :). If you like the set, though, this shade should be easy to repeat in your pillows and other accessories, if needed... Raisa
