Do you know who the artist is who painted the portraits on the wall?

I am sorry, but I am unable to see the signature on the paintings.

I think their size and how close they are together and the darker gray matting make them too overpowering for above your sofa. I think it is a cool gallery affect, but not in the current setting. I would move them elsewhere in your home and "push out" the spacing between the pictures a bit… See the two areas where the horizontal and vertical pattern of hanging creates two "holes?" That bothers my eye. A little more spacing would disguise those empty spaces more... The subject matter and colors of all the photos work well. You have a sofa that is also "cool" but I think to look it's best, it would be better to use something else above it. I can see three vertically hung large rectangle shaped pictures with lighter matting… Just my opinion. Happy Decorating!

If you can do an alcove or niche - that would be the best! It adds character, if arched- will match the rest of the entrances, plus could be "mistaken" for an original feature. If that's too complicated, given that that wall is asymmetrical, I'd hang more than one thing on it. You could buy several small round mirrors (Ikea), hang family portraits/ art or even just empty frames. Again, I think your issue is having an asymmetrical space, so you shouldn't aim for just one regular shape, rather for many arranged in an irregular way. Or round (starburst mirror?). If you prefer just one thing, then a giant canvas would be great (you can make it yourself, just get someone to build you a frame and wrap it in some cool wallpaper). Hope this helps, good luck!!

Thanks :) and that’s the sort of thing I’ve been considering. For example I could make the pattern of frames and mounts part of the display by having them uniform and choosing images that are almost monochrome. There are lots of sky or sea scapes or portraits to choose from that are almost monochrome. The other thought was to buy a large size print and cut down to use just a portion of it so it’s “disguised” and just being used for its light and dark contrasts. But there are so many images that are really amazing that I wonder if a should just pick one for each of the walls. ?? Will let the thoughts percolate for a while I think. And when I fo something will post back. At one point I was thinking of trying to make my own Japanese Enso symbol. Part of its significance is practise making the drawer of it better I believe. Sometimes they draw it with a big calligraphy brush and I saw on a tv program a Japanese artist using a brush that was as big as a mop!

Thanks for all your help with this. Couldnt have done this without Lukes help. We sourced the parts we needed from one of the stockholders (Isaac lord) and they were delivered within a couple of days. We also put a 7inch duct throught the 400 mm thick barn wall to act as protection around the outlet. i have a further 3m of the stuff if anyone is interested.
