Do the three framed paintings to the right of the fireplace work as far as the scale of the room?

 

Why or why not?

Yes they work.  The main focal point is the fireplace & large painting above it.  The space to the right is a long rectangular space.  From my perspective & photographic past a single painting would not work in that space, and it would have to be a vertical piece to work in that area.  The 3 smaller items fill in that empty wall vertically without being obtrusive. Additionally they are on the same size scale as the items on the shelves to the left of the fireplace so I think they visually balance the wall.   I really like the placement & sizes of them.

Looks ok to me and it works because the homeowner likes it.

Yes, they are two small and detract from the fireplace and the painting over it.  I wouldn't put anything there, paying more attention to the fireplace.  

 

I don't like the painting over the fireplace.  It's shape is too similar to the fireplace, so I'd like to see something different there.  The mantle is too bare.    

 

This must be an interior designer's vision because the entire room is so impersonal and staged.  There are no lamps on tables beside the chairs, except a small one in the back of the sofa.  I have never seen good overhead lighting for reading.  

 

Besides the blue chair, colors are too bland for my taste.  

 

Good room architecture, less than creative interior design.

I think they are perfect for the space on that wall.

They look a little small to me making the left side look a little "heavy".

@lolakimono I am not an interior decorator, by far, but it looks ok to my untrained eyes.

Looks unbalanced to me.  The 3 pix, IMO, should be somewhat larger.
