Re: Tying in Artwork to your Color Scheme

It's not unattractive, but it's a little cold.  Rather, like a waiting room in a very nice doctor's office.  No warmth about it.

It looks like that corner of the furniture showroom where the stuff that doesn't sell goes to die.

It does look like a waiting room, and it is too "safe". I think the wall needs a more colorful larger print.

Re: Tying in Artwork to your Color Scheme

I think if the artwork were changed to something a little more bold and colorful and the lamp was replaced, I would like it a lot more.  As a whole, it is coming off as bland and vanilla.

Art is personal so the owner must like it. I would just replace the lamp.

Re: Tying in Artwork to your Color Scheme

I just noticed your caption, and I wouldn't have thought the room was designed around the artwork.  The prints are overwhelmingly white, cream and brown shade from this vantage point, so they don't add "color".  To me, the prints look like they are filling space.  Maybe the images have some meaning to someone.  Hard to tell.

Looks like a waiting room in an office of some kind.
