thank you Helenscolour...I appreciate your help....after considering our options ... my husband is going to do some shelving around the tv unit on the wall I was having trouble with.....Thank You your artwork is really lovely. I don't know how to take my post down so as to let everyone know we now have a plan.

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.

"Hey there! I'm glad you're thinking about how to display the artwork from your partner's grandma. Wall art can be a great way to add personality and character to a room. The question is whether you want one piece to be the focal point or multiple pieces to create a gallery wall effect. If you decide to go with one piece, it can be a great way to make a statement and draw attention to the artwork. Placing it in the middle of the wall can be a great way to make it the center of attention. On the other hand, if you decide to go with multiple pieces, you can create a gallery wall effect that can be both visually interesting and dynamic. If you're not sure which way to go, I suggest checking out https://beyondprint.co.uk/ for some inspiration and ideas on how to display multiple pieces in a cohesive way. They have a wide variety of options and styles to choose from and also offer printing services.

Thank you, so would you just go neutral cushions?? I was thickening something with minimal pattern as to not detract from the artwork but need cushions on the couch and still don’t know what colours to go
