What do you think of the placement of the artwork in this room?

I'd move that center grouping down about 6". The highest one is so high I probably couldn't see it. It's nice that they all seem to have a common size and theme. Overall, I think it's a pleasant grouping.

Looks GREAT to me. I am running out of wall space. I hang stuff between closets, between windows.....anywhere there's a enough plaster to pound a nail.....

I think the placement is actually kind of nice, though I don't like the art too much. Someone likes balloons.

Put ships, lighthouses, snow, mountains, wolves covered in snow in instead and it would be really nice😊

The room looks like a circus.... can't even notice the artwork.

It's awful.

Acceptable, reminds me of reminiscent 1900's with the air balloon theme & quilt & antique furniture

Too busy especially with the background of the striped wallpaper.

I would move the two outer pictures closer to the group of 4 and all of the lower pictures would have to be hung at the same height.

I think the room is lovely, but I am not a fan of the floral table skirt next to the red plaid seat cushion. I think it's just one too many different patterns.

The placement of the art looks okay, but the striped wallpaper ruins the whole arrangement. Too many patterns happening in this room. Do I hear circus music?

This room is much too busy--my eyes don't even know where to land!

With 6 framed pieces of art all the same theme/size, I prefer to hang them like this so they become one focal point.

I don't care for it, but its hard for me to explain why. I just have an instant negative reaction to the whole look.

It's hard on the eye. It doesn't have a good easy flow.

I'd remove the cover on the round table and the two pictures that are not above the bed to try and calm the room down and make it more cohesive.

I love this room and I love the wallpaper. I have a big old house and all of this would look perfect in it. The pictures are not too high for a reason, you don't want to bump your head on them when you are in bed.

The whole room is a hot mess. The wallpaper gives me a migraine just looking at the photo.

I like the pictures, and I get the connection of the balloons rising and falling. However, I would like to see them on different wallpaper or a light blue painted wall, to simulate the sky.

The rest of the room is too busy and doesn't give off calming vibes.

I agree with @phoenixbrd @that the room feels too busy. I don't mind staggering artwork, but not on a busy background.

What the artwork in a home should be is all personal preference, imo. Much of what I love on my walls some one else might not like, but with few exceptions I know when and where I was when I chose the pieces. Maybe I would accept someone else's idea of where to place a piece, but no one else gets to tell me not to display it.

I don't care for the artwork situation but that's not the only problem. This bedroom was decorated by someone who doesn't know how to edit. So many patterns fighting against that busy red 'candy striper' wallpaper.. Every room needs somewhere to rest your eyes, there is none here.

The question was about the artwork, not the entire room. I need symmetry in my decor, if not it kinda freaks me out. This arrangement is balanced and symmetric. I like it.

I do sort of like this room. I really like the color skeem in reds.
