Should this LR Have Artwork on the Mantel?

Image may contain: table and indoor

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.
