Hi Jeffrey, if you'd like art inspiration, feel free to check out our online gallery and if there's something that resonates, we can help you through deciding on the right proportions to suit your space.

A couple of suggestions to try out. Not sure that you need to put art above TV - can be too much. Why don't you try moving the lamps to either side of the sofa. Place the tall sculptures/bottles on RHS of TV (they are a little lost & underappreciated where they are now) and place the wicker piece currently on the floor leaning against the wall either behind the sculptures or on the LHS of the TV. Not sure what the mirror is reflecting currently so unless it is reflecting a great view, a piece of art there might be very good instead. You never know unless you try..........

I agree with @2 FIND and DESIGN.

Designer Boys are perfect for contemporary & fresh styles. Their prints and beaded artwork are unique and very reasonable prices! All the artwork in our styling pictured is from them.

I don't think you need an artwork behind the tv, it will look too cluttered. I think it would look better to have the art where the mirror currently is , as right now it is not reflecting anything too interesting. Do you have another spot for that lovely mirror?

Hello, please see some options below from www.chamberlaindesigns.com.au. There are a range of frame and size options available.

Instead of art work, you could also use fabric items. I used a beautiful vintage kimono that I bought on Ebay to give more warmth to a very modern city apartment. It wasn't expensive as it was very badly stained inside, but perfect on the outside which was the side on display. It had a background colour of cream with embroidered maple leaves falling down a coral coloured stream. This went nicely with the aqua of the glass table and warmed up the black leather couches. Other fabric ideas include old quilts, vintage obis, other ethnic costumes such as Chinese jackets, tapestry, old christening gowns. Another current trend item is a sort of African hat called a Juju hat, that is basically a circle of white feathers. These add a bit of texture but are quite subtle if you don't want much colour. There are also Chinese and Japanese scrolls and screens which are all individual pieces and can be as graphic as black calligraphy, or as gentle as a whisper of aqua willow leaves. Once again scroll through Ebay.

IMHO to my Mumbai sensibilities the room looks cold and uninviting, like a posh dentist's waiting room. But let that not deter you - perhaps your taste is diametrically different.

I would add pops of colour with bright, exotic silk coverings for the fabrics. The wall behind the TV is just right for a medley of framed family photographs in mismatched frames sourced from flea markets to add a bit of whimsy to the room. A wall-mounted book shelf may be another alternative to lighten the clinical mood of the room.

You have created a lovely feel to this space with interesting textures, patterns and colours. We have put together a couple of ideas that we think could be beautiful additions to the aesthetic you have created. If you would like sizing or pricing details for either of our print suggestions, please contact us at the gallery.

Hi, it's a lovely space you've got there.
We had a similar problem in our lounge room and ended up putting a beach seascape panorama picture. We took the picture on an iPhone and then had it printed on 40cmx110cm and framed it black (our lounge is mainly black and white). That was a sufficient size for the space we had - you might need something much bigger. Or as in previous suggested: have 3 pictures in a row.
(As for the re-arrangements: I probably would avoid placing the plant pot in the corner between the couch and TV bench: there's too little light for it to keep it there permanently.)

For something totally awesome look no further than Rona Green: (her lino-cuts are amazing] http://www.ronagreen.com/

Jeffrey, you want to bring a more neutral palette into your accessories to complement the busy-ness of your carpet and the darkness of the sofa. Look for textured fabrics in neutral tones, such as hide, wool, linen - but make sure they tone in with the brown sofa. The two side lamps are out of balance where they are as they're swamping the media centre with their dominance! If you're looking for a suitable lamp (just one) to place next to the TV, then opt for a more elongated and slim-line one, with some height. I agree with allanaspree (above) that the lamps would be better suited on either side of the sofa, allowing for nicer ambience in the room.

I'm not sure what's situated behind the two chairs, but you could try to swing the lounge room around by moving the media centre and TV to the wall currently occupied by the sofa. Place your sofa and mirror into that vacated spot, and put your side tables and lamps on either side of the sofa. The mirror will reflect the whole room in its entirety, and not just some random open doors behind your chairs! TV viewing will be easier for all with this plan.

Moving the media centre will give you a few more options to
dress the wall. Just be mindful that less is more on that wall, as it
will be competing for attention with the AC. A striking piece of artwork
on the RHS of the TV will draw the eyes away from the AC to the left
and above. If you do opt to move the TV to this wall, I would not
recommend placing any artwork above the television! Not only would it be
too busy, but it would compete with the AC and the telly. An
assymetrical approach to dressing your wall will give a more visual
balance to it.

The only other thing I'd recommend would be that you raise the curtains to ceiling height. At the moment, their lowered height is giving the AC prominence on that wall! You want to draw the eyes away from the unit. If your budget can stretch to it, I'd draw inspiration from the brass elements in your
accessories, and replace the white curtain pole with a brass one. It's always about BALANCE!

Do come back with your new and improved look so we can see how it's traveling! :D

Hi Jeffery.

Lovely traditional / transitional space. I think something like the attached would work really nicely in this area. Black or White frame to keep it simple and either a black and white piece or something more subtle with really light tones through it as attached.

We have a lot more in store to check out if you are interested. www.thecreativenestartwork.com

Yay John Henson ..or you could try going to a photographic course learn how to take good or artistic photos and have them enlarged onto canvases is another option, you will be surprised at what your can achieve with some professional lessons .

Hi Jeffrey,

Firstly, you've done a great job on the room so far! I do feel though, that putting artwork ( another rectilinear object) behind the TV would not work so well. I'd consider something a little more organic, which will add visual interest and texture, such as an arrangement of flat woven baskets or a tribal headpiece - [Staircase on Sanctuary Cove project - N.B.Interiors[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/stairwell-sanctuary-cove-queensland-eclectic-staircase-gold-coast-tweed-phvw-vp~41565111). Hunt around until you find the right thing for the space - could be a collection of smaller items.
