Trying to find an art wall above our sofa
8 years ago
We just have redone our lounge and it is time to find a great piece of art wall. We are not too sure where to start. The one currently on the wall is a bit too dark, we are trying to have something light, relaxing. Have you got any advice?

There are many sizes and varieties especially in colour or earthy tones.

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 MoreEntry hall art work
Comments (3)Hi there! I love your sideboard and pendant light, very cool! The print you have is lovely but it's too small. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce either colour or boldness to make a statement, go for a square or rectangle piece that is relative to the length of your sideboard, but don't go longer! The length of the runner on your sideboard would be a good guide - measure this length as well as the sideboard and take the measurements art shopping with you, have fun with it and just pick something you love!!...See MoreWhere should we hang art in our lounge room?
Comments (12)Hi Kerry, The framed artwork are great pieces and will look lovely on this wall. As your furniture is off to one side rather than centred to the wall, you’ll be needing to place your artwork centre to the sofa against the wall. In my line of work, I favour hanging artwork with their centre most points at eye level so as I walk into a room I see the art and can read the room with all its décor in a cohesive manner. From your images provided I would suggest hanging each piece at the very least 200mm apart, their centre-most point at 1500-1600mm and ensuring you have a space between the top most point of your sofa and the bottom of your artwork. The key is to not hang your art too high and close to the ceiling, as this can make your room look askew, or hand them too low and make your room look squished. Introducing a tall plant in the area around your armchair and side table will help balance the large wall or you could always hang a mirror or another piece of art of a large scale to your 3 prints.

Comments (10)Hi Lili, There are certainly 'rules of thumb' when it comes to artwork. We wrote a guide on how to measure up for the perfect size artwork and its actually not that difficult to find an artwork in the dimensions you need... if you know where to look! Art is very personal choice, but you might like to take a look at the original collections in our online gallery. We produce all our artworks bespoke, in the exact dimensions to suit - either a single panel, or multiple panels, as you'll find illustrated in the gallery. A relevant project review is linked here https://www.houzz.com.au/viewReview/682538/signarture-review Below is another popular example of our frameless perspex artworks - and in that position, benefiting from the changing light through your full height glazing, would create wonderful shadowcasting. There's plenty more inspiration in our gallery - please just PM if you find something you love!...See More
