    Hi All,

    I'm looking to add some art work on the wall above a corner couch and an arm chair, but I'm not exactly sure what size, orientation or position I should do and whether I should maybe put a mirror on the wall too?

    Below is an image of the wall above the corner couch and arm chair and would be really grateful if anyone can give me some suggestions please, as I am quite lost as to what to do with this wall!

    I’d just put a large canvas or framed picture in the center of the wall . The range has a few nice pieces at the moment & are extremely affordable.

    Would there be room to put the sofa in the centre of the wall and have a side table on either side, and put the arm chair against another wall? If so, artwork in the centre would be the obvious solution.
    If you think you will keep the layout of the sofa and the armchair, I would suggest putting a BIG piece of artwork in landscape layout above the sofa. Pick something with colours you like, and pick up the same colours with some cushions or other decorations. Check out the 60/30/10 colour ratio in decoration. Don’t be afraid of some blank space, but if you want more you could add three smaller pieces above each other above the table.

    Something I'm considering doing in my sitting room, was to get a photo, and split it in two or three. Get it printed evenly across the same amount of canvases. We all see this every day, it's been done to death.


    But I've never seen anyone doing it on a corner. I've never seen two (large) canvases wedged into a corner together, so it looks like one big picture that's going around the corner of the room.

    I'm unsure if it will look sh/te, but i just thought I'd say it to you as it could possibly look nice on the corner of the room where your sofa is.
