Swapping Artwork

lolakimono — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 13:03:19 GMT

I saw this on Pinterest, from the Better Homes and Gardens site about real people's bedrooms. I was trying to see if I could get other views of it when I found the same room with different artwork.

#1-

#2-

Which artwork do you think goes better in the space?

If I had to choose I would say the second one, but honestly I don't like any of them.

@lolakimono, I would LOVE both. Wildlife print great in a study. Contemporary in my kitchen. Have begun enjoying contemporary. Colors are great. Where is LTT1?

Oh my, I don't like anything about either one of the artwork or the whole rooms.

OK THIS IS MY THIRD TRY HERE!

@lolakimono @sligo

Thank you so much for this "HOME" discussion!

I am in my new apartment now (at the same complex because I just love it here) and starting to get jazzed about decorating again!

@sligo

thank you for inquiring about my whereabouts! I chose to move into my own place and I'm not ready to talk about it much yet, but I will and will return "in force" probably after New Year's.

Thought I might share some picture here of the complex...my apartment is just full of boxes right now!

Note: new sofa arrived Friday and I'm loving it!

I think it’s interesting how just changing the artwork gives the room a different vibe. Although it’s not my style of decor, I like the #1 artwork of birds in that room.

I would go for the abstract piece (#2), but I don't love it. It has an angry feel. I would prefer something that gives a serene vibe.

I wouldn't choose the art in 1 or 2 but if I had to live with it ... 1 for me.

Green, red, purple, white, burnt orange, cream and wood....way too much going on for me particularly in a bedroom.

Neither but the 1st one works better with the room. The 2nd one is too abstract for the furnishings.

I don’t like either. I prefer wildlife over abstract, but I don’t like the animal artwork here. I really don’t think the change in artwork changes the room. The colors are bold and distracting either way. The only thing I kind of like in this room is the bedside table. I don’t care for the other furnishings, colors, or accessories.

@LTT1 Your sofa is gorgeous! I hope you will post more pictures as you go through the excitement of the decorating process.

@lolakimono I like #2 best. #1 reminds me of photos mt BFF in south FL just sent me of birds by her home, so it makes me think of a FL home setting.

@lolakimono

It is interesting how that one piece of artwork over the bed changes the entire vibe of the room.....

But I chose NEITHER....

Re: Swapping Artwork

spiderw — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 23:22:14 GMT

I wouldn't choose any of the artwork as it is way out of my taste zone. In my opinion it doesn't enhance the room but takes away. A big NO.

CANDLEQUEEN — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 15:40:24 GMT

Neither! I don't like anything about this room to be hoenst, it isn't horrible, it just isn't my taste!

To me, the one big picture anchors the room better. The two wildlife pictures make it feel too busy for my taste.
