What size artwork and how high from sofa?
Comments (4)You might try 4'x6', landscape format. We typically start by centering the object around 5' above the floor. Might work better a little higher but you can try it out with tape....See MoreArt above the sofa & space filler?
Comments (15)I have used Saatchi Art (saatchiart.com) to both browse and purchase art for our home. Original art work can be purchased and most artists have prints at a more affordable price. It's a good place to determine what styles and mediums you love as you can filter your search. For Australian art I love Blue Thumb (bluethumb.com.au). All Aussie and all original. Very few options for cost effective prints unfortunately. I'd be cautious about filling the space for an instant look. As everyone before me has said "art is personal" and as such, I think it should grow with you and your space. Start with one piece that you really love, big or small and work around that. I have found that putting unusual unexpected items on the wall makes for interesting 'art'. My husband's baby shoes (circa 1953) and now our children's first shoes are objects that always create conversation when guests come over. I have a Mexican art cross (we're not religious, the colours and the metal work drew me to it), a vintage wooden Indian spindle, African birds in a tree hand-beaten and cut from a steel drum, a clay mask my daughter made in art class, a woven Maori kit bag, some art that our kids have done at school (put into Ikea frames so they are always the right size. We change them as something else we love comes home), a hand-made ceramic tile, a growing collection of geckos found in antique stores, vintage travel posters in frames, (I'll stop listing what we have!)...all these items and more, have been collected over the last 20 years and put up around our collection of art or in clusters to create stories. I've collected the initials of our family (yes the child with the "K" is not thrilled it's so small and the child with the "G" feels he's by far the favourite! Needless to say both will be replaced in the future when a more appropriate size comes to light) from vintage stores both here and overseas. Our walls are a growing collection of art and objects and at any time I can move things around and change the composition as a new item is discovered. Best advice I can give you is to have fun with it, enjoy creating your own gallery, it's for you to love you're not required to impress anyone else....See MoreWall art suggestions needed
Comments (4)Hi Pallavi! Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. We're loving how your living room is coming along - you have a nice neutral base to start with, and those cushions are adding some colour you can really work with. We'd suggest adding more aqua and pink, to really make them the accent colours of the room. You can then pick artwork that integrates both, which will tie the whole room together! Some ideas for a large artwork using the pink and aqua tones are: https://bluethumb.com.au/bytanya/Artwork/here-comes-the-sun-print https://bluethumb.com.au/dianne-delandro/Artwork/busy-life https://bluethumb.com.au/april-lockwood/Artwork/the-coathanger https://bluethumb.com.au/jillbryant/Artwork/harbour-noise-1-2 https://bluethumb.com.au/monnica-marwick/Artwork/rose-monnica-marwick https://bluethumb.com.au/monnica-marwick/Artwork/blue-monnica-marwick https://bluethumb.com.au/judy-button/Artwork/sensual-scent https://bluethumb.com.au/missym/Artwork/the-peaches-blushed-pink-extra-large-abstract-study-series-2017 https://bluethumb.com.au/dianne-alchin/Artwork/into-the-deep-dianne-alchin Or you could add three framed prints, such as these by Marinka Parnham, one of our most popular print artists: https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/rosella-s-in-the-flowering-gum-182882 https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/homeward-bound-lino-print https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/kookaburra-and-banksia-lino-print-189190 Another popular choice is Angus Martin, who reproduces each drawing, which means ever edition is unique: https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/ballerina-a2-black-frame-v2 https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/entrap-a2-black-frame https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/embroil-a2-black-frame Angus's work has the option to come framed or unframed. These are all suggestions, based on the knowledge that you have a budget and what our other collectors are drawn to. Let us know if you'd like a different selection based more on your personal taste - we can create a curation just for you, at no cost. Cheers, Megan...See MoreArt work recommendation
Comments (55)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/...See Morevince
