I'd love to see some colour in an oversized artwork (I can easily imagine a Palm Springs style retro image... cactus and palm trees!) I'd then consider a rug in the room to link a colour in the artwork into the space. Good luck. Sophie

We have come up with a couple of print ideas to fit your mid century vibe...Let us know if you would like sizing and pricing details for either of these.

G'day Lee,

do you have any of your own photos you might like on the walls? I say walls because it seems to me the space above the television could also benefit from something like a trio of small images/artwork or similar to balance off a larger artwork or image on the right wall. I've included a sample below and while budget might play a part in the solution I think both walls need something and they wouldn't have to be framed in the traditional manner.

A few of David Hockney's works from the 70s or thereabouts (Palm Springs etc) also come to mind but you have to like the work so it comes back to your own personal preferences.

When you have a large tv, as most of us seem to these days, they can dominate the wall behind them but still leave a difficult void above. A few small images or some kind of long artefact or sculptural piece would make an interesting choice for the tv wall - something with a dash of colour that works with or compliments the larger work on the other wall.

Obviously if you want more impact jump away from this almost sombre group into something more vibrant, and that may point to something of a graphic nature, rather than traditional art or photographic choices. Enjoy this little journey - you have obviously put a lot of time into the whole house project so far, so take a little time to solve this one, Danny

Hi Lee,

Love the mid century modern vibe you've created there. Artwork is going to be a very personal choice but here's a suggestion for your coloured wall that you may not have seen before which has proved popular: white on clear perspex

I always say art is very personal so you will need to do your research and find a style that you like and then decide if you want one massive piece of art or several contrasting pieces. Another idea is the massive wall paper murals that can get but again that comes down to taste. I suggest you do research on line or go to some galleries or art shows to determine you style and go from there.

What a great space! In my opinion your best bet would be a large print or oil painting- ideas below. All available plus more on www.chamberlaindesigns.com.au.

Cockatoo Pair-

Or the single Horse shot

Horses are always a great way to find the line between modern and traditional, while adding interest to a room. Look for something in rich oils and warm tones, with shots of highlight to brighten up the wall.

Hi Lee, please have a look on my photographic portfolio on my profile, maybe something will call your attention. I think some images from my surreal series called "Beings" would feet to your space. You can also check my website: www.lapalmaphotography.com

This is one of them...

Would you conceder to get a carpet for your space? I'm just wondering how is the other side of your living room, would you mind to add more pictures?

You're lucky and wise: a wonderful big wall space available in a tastefully furnished, restrained space. For inspiration I'd first be looking at the actual artworks and photography and craftworks done during the middle decades of the 20th century. Find examples that offer the colours, shapes and level of abstraction you'd find pleasing to live with. Look at recent artworks too: online by going to smaller gallery sites. Then, depending on budget, you can follow the art auctions, seek out prints and posters, commission a similar-looking modern piece ... Pay attention to framing and mounting suited to the mid-century look. Images of mid-century interiors (Robin Boyd houses, for instance) may show how artworks were placed.

One look I'd avoid is the awful washy/splattery multi-coloured "artwork" put up by interiors people on TV series. Genuine, practising artists don't have that kind of thing in their own spaces.

Hello,

I feel as though the room could do with some texture and softening. I would recommend creating a series of your favourite pictures or photos and frame them the same, arrange them first on the floor then hang. These could be coloured or black and white - maybe favourite holidays or family. You will probably need at least five - different size and profile but the same frames work nicely. White would lighten the room but black also looks good with the wall colour which is quite hard to decorate with.

I think you also need a rug on the floor and a throw on the couch to add texture and colour. A good accent colour would be deep turquoise.

With the wall being dark, I suggest a large piece of colourful abstract art.

I think you're in desperate need of some colour!!! something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-West-Indies-Cruise-Line-Vintage-Style-Travel-Poster-24x36-/371269536570

If you are in Australia - try looking at the inaluxe website they do some excellent mid century graphics and are in a range of sizes. Well priced also.

A big, beautiful colourful painting would really add to the space, and create some brightness and motion to compliment the dark colours and modern style you have here.

Have a look at either Andy Hardwood

Or Genevieve Reynolds

Both are Australian geometric-style, post-modern painters.

Hi Lee, I agree with phillipawright that the space would benefit with some textures in the room. If you were wanting to maintain the dramatic effect of the darker wall colour, another alternative to the black and white photograph is a large scaled ink painting. It has a soft and dramatic feel to it also. The benefit is that you can then choose the frame to suit your feel, be it white, black or wood

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone, they are all very helpful and we are still working on what to put on the wall.

We have currently placed a Giant Birds of Paradise plant (Strelitzia Nicolai) in the corner and it has added some life to it. One of the options we are considering is enlarging one of the photographs which I took on a recent trip, framing it and placing it on the wall. Still a work in progress :)

Hi Lee,

I produce affordable abstract artworks which are custom made in Australia, to any size specified by clients. I've mocked up a few images showcasing a range of artworks in a Mid Century colour palette, which I believe look fantastic in your space and also meet your desire for a Mid Century look.
