Placement of Art

What do you think about the way the artwork has been displayed?

No, that bother me. I would have three, mayyyyybeee four small things in that space. Not aligned perfectly.

Most likely three.

The size of the picture and flower arrangement caught my eye first. Too big.

I agree, don't like the look as too big for the space.

@lolakimono Hey, Lola, slow day on fashion posting? LOL

@sommertime

You know, sometimes one thing leads to another...

I found the guest room photo and then saw this photo, and so I figured I would generate some discussion.

I am kind of "known" here too though.

I do have some fashion items to share, but no one is up on the Fashion boards, LOL.

and yet I can't stop looking at it

the math teacher in me likes the way the horizontal sides of the frame of the artwork are strikingly parallel to all of the the wood steps!

@namaste000

The designer in me would keep looking at it too and saying to myself I NEED TO FIX THIS!

I once returned a custom made loveseat because it was 1/2” shorter in height than the couch. It would have bugged me to no end. And they were not inexpensive.

They made a new one, no charge. DH says my eyes are precisely calibrated! lol!

It screams, "I'm tooooooo BIG!"

Move it to the blank wall in the hallway where it would fit.

I think two pics vertically, then one additional one to the right, making an L shape--might be better. Too big for the hallway too.

@lolakimono Agree, too big. I would probably take advantage of the stair angle and hang three small items beginning with the third step from the top, then the fifth, then the seventh. Not framed art, but something with dimension and architectural interest.

I really, really like it! I think it provides needed balance. Balance is pleasing to the eye.

No, it would bug me to no end.

I would not put any artwork where this is located.

It doesn't work there. It seems to me that they really wanted to hang that picture somewhere and that was the only place they had left.

Looks awkward.

Architecturally the picture is positioned in a space that is balanced and appropriate for it. However, when you consider the contrasting string (the sides of stairs) on the staircase then that picture appears to be too large and not appropriately centered. If the wall beneath the staircase and the string were painted the same color I think it could work for me.

Not only is it too big, but it also looks photo-shopped in.

Of all the negativity I have voiced with some of today's interior design, I have to say this placement does not bother me. I think the juxtaposition of the large floral arrangement balances the placement of the artwork.

Of course if this were my home I would...(haha!)

I like it. I would do that.

(The placement, that is. I don't care for the actual painting.)

Picture or placement doesn't work in the space.
