He does all kinds of map art. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312310 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:14:46 +0000 MamaChin 1312310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was also a frame. But since that is impractical at this point in time and painting isn't possible, maybe you can hang a panel of fabric (ceiling to floor) behind that painting to draw attention to it and bring a pop of color? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312306 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:13:11 +0000 doodlepoodle 1312306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about flanking it with hanging wall sconces (sp?) or something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312128 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:35:35 +0000 Arden 1312128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anandam: @char54: It's a rental and we are moving in April so I can't paint, but when we move to a more long-term home I'll look into painting!</p> <p>I also don't really want to go to the trouble if having it framed (yet) because when we move overseas it will be removed from the canvas frame and rolled for transport, and a frame wouldn't be able to come with us.</p> <p>I do think a big rustic wood frame would be nice though! Maybe after we've moved? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312098 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:24:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1312098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not good at this, but I love the picture! Can I ask who painted it? Also, nice couch :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312089 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:19:34 +0000 Mamaof2 1312089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a nice tall plant would look great to the left side next to the couch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312047 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:52:23 +0000 Silva 1312047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: I agree- if you can find a nice dark/rustic wooden frame it would look nice. we often find frames for really cheap in antique/ junk stores, and then my husband does the matting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312041 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:50:56 +0000 Charm54 1312041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with framing if possible, and maybe a few patterned/vibrant pillows.</p> <p>If you aren't into framing, a chalkboard wall would be amazing painted behind your picture with quotes/sayings from your travels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1312025 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:39:52 +0000 anandam 1312025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks awesome!</p> <p>Are you open to painting the wall behind it? My first inclination would be a saturated color in the background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1311995 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:26:44 +0000 LemonLong 1311995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you get it framed with a nice big wood frame? I think it would help the painting pop against your light colored walls and couch and will also remove the need for competing pictures to try to fill up the space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1311951 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:03:12 +0000 MrsH 1311951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three 8x10s on either side might be a bit much. Maybe smaller yet? Do you have vibrant pictures from vacations that could go on either side? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1311950 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:02:45 +0000 jhd 1311950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm terrible at decorating advice but just wanted to say that painting is gorgeous!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interior-design-advice-needed#post-1311944 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:00:57 +0000 Arden 1311944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got me this painting I've been wanting for ages for my birthday (yay!) and I just hung it up.</p> <p>Now I'm wondering if its too much, or not enough, or what...<br /> Does the wall need something else to balance it out? I was thinking of three small prints hung vertically on each size (like 8x10 framed ones?), but would that be too much? I don't want it to be too busy, but it kind of looks lonely right now?</p> <p>Maybe black and white prints, since the central piece is so colorful? </p> <p>What are your thoughts? </p> [attach=2195/14/myqvxn.600x450.image.jpg]
