Should this LR Have Artwork on the Mantel?

Or does it have everything that it needs?

I love it just the way it is. It feel light and spacious. The right artwork would be fine, but I like it as is too. It's restful.

In my opinion yes, the room looks naked. It needs some color is also is very bland and boring.

Yes, I am a minimalist I like clean lines, and no clutter, but this room seems unfinished. It looks like they just moved in, and have to finish the room.

Yes! Looks like the movers just left 15 minutes ago, haha.

The room is nice but it puts me to sleep. Needs art and maybe 3 well chosen items on the mantel.

Don't like the space, don't like the room. Looks like someone just moved in and has't finished unpacking. Art over the mantel might help but isn't going to cozy up that cavernous, double-decker space.

Room is beautiful . Very open and great lightning. It does need something on the mantel . Something colorful to off set the white.

I love the table behind the sofa.

Maybe a nice carved piece to compliment.

I'm not a big fan of art, but a nice fancy sunburst mirror or clock would work.

Maybe a wreath, at least

What do you thing about painting the inside of the moulding same color of the walls?

Look at this mirror, needs something round, "matches" the lamp.

Blah and boring room. The fireplace/chimney up the wall needs to be a beautiful stone. What a waste of space that could be spectacular with the right elements. The stone and then something to soften all the blah window area. This room cries out for help! Of course, being me, it would be furnished differently too. And that chandelier -no, no. Very cold looking room.

I would put artwork above it and then decorate the mantel also. I think it needs something that pops and draws the eye right to it as the focal point of the room.

It begs, cries for something on or over the mantle.

I agree... I think a nice watercolor painting would look nice above the mantel....

I don't care for the room because I am not a fan of a neutral color palette. The mantel needs a piece of artwork or a large wreath above it. I also would decorate the mantel. The coffee table needs a larger lamp and a decorative item or two. On the other side of the couch the table looks small. I would place a large plant there. The large table near the end needs something other than the large bowl. I probably would add curtains to the windows that could be pulled back. I like to decorate and no surface is left uncovered.

It does look a little plain in this picture. This is one of those things I think I would have to be standing in this particular room to answer.

Yes, it needs something large.

Yes, a colorful print over the mantle and something pretty on the mantle. The room looks a bit cold and sterile as it is.

Yes. The room is too plain for me, without something above the mantel.

The color is wrong, needs something softer then some color inside those insets. The insets over the fireplace already are a "frame" of sorts so I would not hang any kind of framed item. Something artistic is needed, though. Without personality, the room could be in a community center. The furniture does not do it justice. This room looks like What Not To Do.

A big screen TV...one that shows artwork with options to change the images.

Samsung "The Frame" A TV disguised as a picture and you can change the image as you wish.

The room does need something. I don't care for the white wall behind the mantel and I would have all the walls painted over,perhaps a Wedgewood blue. I would place decor on the mantel and refurnish and rearrange. The room is too blah as shown.
