Need wall art design opinion
Hello Everyone!
We are trying to make a decision on a new piece of artwork for the wall on our staircase. There is another abstract piece of art in the room adjacent to the foyer area where this art will be placed. Our concern is having two similarly themed pieces so close to each other (although each piece is uniquely different) creating a "too much of the same thing" look and feel.
The attached pictures show a photoshopped look of what the piece of artwork (looks like water) would look like on our stairwell. You can see the other piece of art I'm referring to in the room with the blue chairs. Btw- the leaves on the stairs are not permanent (fall decorations).. ;-)
Do you think this looks ok or is it too busy with too much of the same theme and colors??
Thanks in advance for your comments!
Mike

Comments (20)This discussion neglects the beam angle of the bulb in the fixture. These can vary from about 15 degrees to around 50 degrees. Additionally, tilting a Gimbel fixture does not necessarily cut off light as the beam is a three-dimensional paraboloid for which the math is much more complex than this simplistic tangent formula. The guidelines here will put you in the ballpark however. Unfortunately many "lighting experts" don't really know lighting. RPI (Rennselaer Polytechnic) has a lighting division with good information on line for those interested. I attended their one-day course prior to designing our own lighting for a kitchen renovation. The course was very helpful....See MoreTo hang or not to hang - should I add art to this wall or leave it as

Comments (18)Misha, I didn't think about shadows! Something to definitely keep in mind. Originally the plan was to hang a large mirror there, to reflect the sparkles and light, but I can't afford such a huge mirror, and anything too small will look silly. During the day, when the day is sunny, the chandelier throws 'sparkles' on the walls around, a bit magical :) (and it's not even lit!) I will definitely put up a photo when I finish the wall, but it may be a while before I finally make a decision :O...See Moreworking studio for art work
Comments (5)I’m guessing that you’re after advice on alternative lighting if the natural daylight source is restricting. I’ve worked in a few studios and the best ones tend to have lots of angled roof windows north facing but diffused so the natural daylight was evenly spread and with the addition of fluorescent tube lights (the type you get in garages) for dark times of year. All depends on what type of creative work you’re doing as well. There are plenty of artificial light sources for specific tasks but choosing the right kind of light can be tricky, this might explain more: https://willkempartschool.com/art-studio-lighting-design/ When I used to hand mix colour dyes I had to compare samples in different lights but outside the back door (north light but in shadow) was better for truer colour match....See MoreMike Anderson
