HELP: New wall art for our lounge
Melody
7 years ago
Hi everyone!
I'd really appreciate some help.
Few months ago we started to redecorate our lounge. So far we have only painted the walls with Elephants Breath from F&B and bought new cushions for our sofa from John Lewis. The idea is to have a mustard/grey lounge (similar colours of cushions). We won't be able to change our sofa so we have to work around it.
Cutting story short, we need new wall art for our lounge but we haven't found anything special and affordable out there. As you can see, the current ones don't match. We don't mind having one big picture or three little ones, as long as it's goes well with our new deco.
Could anyone point us in the right direction?
Thanks a lot!

Help me add wall art to our dining room
Comments (5)Hi I am an artist in England and specialise in bespoke art - but I am guessing you are in the US - here is my advice you can look online at saatchiart.com search for price range size style (abstract etc) and even colours there are affordable pieces to be had, you can also select those from the country you are in to minimise shipping costs. Or you could go to a company that prints photos onto large canvases and pick out one or two of your own photos (landscape, seacape, trees etc you will have an affordable solution and something that reminds you of a favourite place or time. You can afford to go bright and bold in this space. From an aesthetic point of view - can you raise the light? even 10 inches would help :)...See MoreArtwork/prints for bare walls
Comments (23)You have a lovely and tasteful space! I do agree with Camilla that large bold painting would look great as well as add a contemporary touch. For example something like this (with frame matching the table or the chairs and a satin gloss finish of the painting): Get in touch If you would like me to send any suggestions!...See MoreFeature art wall
Comments (0)Natalia’s first home! It was such fun helping her to get the look she wanted. I was initially invited for a 2 hour consultancy session which took place before she moved in; we talked about decor, storage, window dressings, furniture layout, wardrobe design, accessories and an art wall. It’s amazing how much you can cover in a short time and when I left I know Natalia’s head was spinning… in a good way! Happily she called me back once she had the keys to the apartment and asked me to design the art wall which had now become the focus of her attention. Natalia showed me the website she had found… Desenio.com. She loved almost everything on it so I asked her to draw up a wish-list! Room layout This is a 1-bedroom apartment in a period property conversion. The lounge is rectangular in shape with a beautiful window in the long wall and the door to the hall on the other. The kitchen units run along one of the short walls and the art would be placed opposite. I took into consideration the size of the doors on the kitchen units and decided to balance this by choosing large format framed prints instead of smaller ones. We had discussed the furniture layout so I knew a sofa would be sitting in the corner of the room and I felt this ought to be integrated and become part of the design. Decorating We wanted the ‘wow’ factor to do this lovely property justice and it took only a little convincing from me for Natalia to use the dark coffee colour (Royal Academy Basilica) for the short walls and a warm white (Fleur Snow White) for the rest of the walls and ceiling. Both colours are available online from paint supplier ColourandPaint.com. During the Christmas holiday break Natalia got out the paint roller and did some DIY! She didn’t have a hammer though… oh dear, I feel a song coming on… so I took a few bits and pieces with me when it came time to hang the pictures. Affordable art This art wall came in at around £300 – and yes, it is ‘wow-ing’ all Natalia’s friends. We were both pretty pleased with our handiwork too! With grateful thanks to photographer Christian Payne aka @Documentally. And thank you Desenio and ColourandPaint for being so supportive. See my Houzz profile for more photos of this project.

You could stick with the triptych format - 3 x 60 x 60cm- or go for a single long piece 60 x 180cm.

7 years agoThank you all for your ideas.
We actually like the style of this artwork but it's a bit pricey... I'd love to find something similar but more affordable. This is from Jacky Al-Samarraie and we love the style.
