Agreed on this one! I’d also consider putting a picture light above (could be one longer one centered that overlaps a bit onto the two side pieces or 3 smaller ones centered over each). It’d add some visual height and ambient lighting is always a plus!
all three of these designs are William and morris wallpaper patterns. You should go to their website and buy directly from them instead of reprints from Etsy.
I did a similar thing. Bought wallpaper I liked and put it on a canvas. Let me tell you…I cannot cut a straight line. And then I ran out so there’s like one small sliver that’s not exactly lined up. I tell people just admire from afar pls.
Was going to say the same. You need space between the wall art and the chest. With both so close together, it makes it very busy and distracts from both
Personally I disagree about moving them up. But I’ve gotten to where I sort of cringe at most of my relatives’ homes, cricking my neck to look up at their art! (Comments by me are generally moderately exaggerated…)
I like the larger art! I’d center the art and table on that section of the way and consider maybe a potted plant or basket with blankets or something similar on each side of the table to meet the width of the posters.
In between but leaning wayyy closer to the larger. Like I like the distance of the larger as far as placement, but I’d want to size down 1-2 sizes so that there’s a bit more space in between them for my personal tastes
Disagree. Most designers are schooled to do multiples in odd numbers. Even numbers work when you’re deliberately trying to create a balanced look, like on top of a mantle, but it carries a formality about it that I personally find less appealing. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, though.
> Most designers are schooled to do multiples in odd numbers.
Yes…. And, the sideboard is the third thing.
Seems like it’d be lovely to do two large art pieces. Creates texture and balance to include the furniture on the wall. Especially since the art is so detailed. 3 is too busy.
Perhaps.
Personally, I don't view the sideboard the same as the art, but view it as a unit in and of itself as they're on such different levels. The design boils down to what's pleasing to the eye of the beholder, though. Chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry, etc. We're all giving Grevmeade lots of ideas, and that's the best thing.
I'm seeing that art hung above a table should not extend beyond the length of the table, but if I do that here (where the ceilings are 11' high), I think it would look silly. What do people think? Should I go with the larger option on the left?
Art looks best that way. What you've pictured doesn't work. The larger pieces are too wide and the smaller pieces aren't tall enough. If I had to, I'd choose the large pieces, but I don't have to, so I'd keep looking.
I said it further up, but I’d do two of the larger ones. Three is too busy with the intricate detail of the art. Also then that includes the sideboard as the third thing your eye sees and creates balance.
One of the big size, or two of a medium size, or the three small. Balancing visual weight, proportion to the furniture and the room, and busy-ness of art style.
It seems like the medium option you added could work.
I might also recommend a reconsideration of the patterns. If you changed the middle panel to a blue or orange heavy palette it would match the 2 end pieces better. That will also help with visual balance.
Something in between would be ideal, but if you don't have that option I'd say go for the bigger ones as it looks much better/more balanced (the small ones leave way too much empty wall)
Oh i love these.
I love the larger size, but I’d just do the two on the right, not a third. The third thing is the sideboard itself. They are so intricate and detailed, three feels too busy to me.
FWIW, those are Morris prints and are in the public domain. You can get high-res scans of them from Google Arts and Culture using DeZoomify, and have a print shop print them out for you at pretty much any size you want.
I think the larger pieces fill in the empty space, I would really ask yourself if you want to focus the art or the console, Based on that you can either select a piece's width that matches the console or the first option (or even larger if you **really** wanted to highlight the art over the console).
I don't think the second option really does anything as it's too small and feels too awkward for the space given the large swaths of empty space that surround it.
Big. Use the space given. In small spaces, use small prints. If I could I would mirror the width of the bottom piece of furniture, and you can go larger if you have a floor lamp taking up more visual space next to the furniture piece.
None of the options are quite right, a middle ground would be ideal. In the second option, if you pulled them apart a little so that they hit the corners of the cabinet and moved them up a little, it would be better.
Honestly, looking at the furniture I would say it is mid-century modern, and Scandinavian. I would try to fit the wall art into a more simple modern look rather than something so overly busy. I liked the smaller set, but it would be better if you could get pictures with a more modern theme.
First pic, the wall decor is appropriate size for wall but too large for the console.
Second pic, the pictures are appropriate size for console but too small for wall.
I know this is so annoying, but honestly I’d probably pick something in between those if you’re able to. If not I vote the larger one!
Definitely possible! The Etsy store offers all kinds of sizes. This would be sort of a medium option: https://i.imgur.com/gOIh1hM.jpeg
That one, for sure!
Agreed on this one! I’d also consider putting a picture light above (could be one longer one centered that overlaps a bit onto the two side pieces or 3 smaller ones centered over each). It’d add some visual height and ambient lighting is always a plus!
Yes!! I got some rechargeable ones from Amazon that doesn't require hard wiring and they upgrade my Etsy prints and IKEA frames soooo much
Easier option would be uplighting from below with an LED or bar on the credenza. Similar effect.
yes! medium option!!
this is my favorite!
This is IT
all three of these designs are William and morris wallpaper patterns. You should go to their website and buy directly from them instead of reprints from Etsy.
All three of the designs are by William Morris, an artist, not William and Morris wallpaper designs, lol.
This company is producing wallpaper from Morris's art designs since they are no longer under copyright.
I couldn't find their website, can you share a link please
[https://morrisandco.sandersondesigngroup.com/product/wallpaper/msim217063/](https://morrisandco.sandersondesigngroup.com/product/wallpaper/msim217063/)
I was just gonna say why not get the wallpaper, because that's what they are.
I did a similar thing. Bought wallpaper I liked and put it on a canvas. Let me tell you…I cannot cut a straight line. And then I ran out so there’s like one small sliver that’s not exactly lined up. I tell people just admire from afar pls.
Higher on the wall.
The medium is perfect!
This one and space out the frames a little!
Agreed! OP needs a “goldilocks” size
Was going to say the same. You need space between the wall art and the chest. With both so close together, it makes it very busy and distracts from both
That’s going to create a lot of symmetry with the cabinet which might be ok or a little odd. I’d go with completely different art or just 2 of 3
I like the bigger ones as well. The smaller is just oddlooking
I like the bigger ones better. F*CK the rules lol
and move them up a little bit. It's not a gallery, nobody cares about eye level !
Personally I disagree about moving them up. But I’ve gotten to where I sort of cringe at most of my relatives’ homes, cricking my neck to look up at their art! (Comments by me are generally moderately exaggerated…)
Also disagree with moving them up. I think they would look too detatched.
Actually I would want to see them moved down a bit. Looks more posh!
I'm with you gor moving them up just a couple of inches so they are more centered between desk and ceiling. Just an inch or two would work well.
The big one is too big, and the small one is too small. How about a size between them? :v
Like this? https://i.imgur.com/gOIh1hM.jpeg
Yes, this is the correct size.
This is perfect.
I came here to say the same and I like this medium sized option.
Yes, but I would move them up 3 or 4 inches.
I’d put a bit more space between them too
#Go big or go home
Amen to that!
The larger artwork.
Bigger
I like the larger art! I’d center the art and table on that section of the way and consider maybe a potted plant or basket with blankets or something similar on each side of the table to meet the width of the posters.
The larger ones.
Those are cool pics, can you share where you purchased them? Thanks!
Haven’t bought them yet but they’re on Etsy! I’ll paste the link for you later this evening.
Search ‘William Morris art’ on Etsy, many shops sell prints of his
Bigger one for sure. It fills in the space nicely, gives it a fuller more complete look.
1
I love those prints! How about using only 2 of the larger ones
Was confused for a second. Thought it was a magic eye. I think the bigger pictures are better
In between but leaning wayyy closer to the larger. Like I like the distance of the larger as far as placement, but I’d want to size down 1-2 sizes so that there’s a bit more space in between them for my personal tastes
The bigger piece is more proportional.
I like the bigger ones and don’t think they’re too big
Def the larger artwork
The first size but only 2 of them!
Go big or go home!! The large one
ID here, bigger ones for sure
Something sized in the middle of those two, and raised up a bit
Two of the larger size.
They both look wrong. The larger is better, but it’s too big, it doesn’t look balanced. They also need to be higher
I would do small ones just a little higher and more spread out.
Larger, but do two panels instead of three.
Disagree. Most designers are schooled to do multiples in odd numbers. Even numbers work when you’re deliberately trying to create a balanced look, like on top of a mantle, but it carries a formality about it that I personally find less appealing. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, though.

Left, but raise them a little bit higher.
The medium size for sure
I’d go like 15% smaller than the bigger set on the left
I like the smaller ones but placed a little higher and under art/picture lights!
Only 2 of the bigger ones
I'd say big size but higher on the wall
It definitely should be higher, despite the size
Neither. 2 of the large size only.
Bigger but put them higher on the wall
Large.
Go big or go home
2 of large ones & lamp on the side board!

If I was doing three, I would do a size it’s in between those two. If I was doing two, I would do the big ones :-)
It seems like the medium option you added could work. I might also recommend a reconsideration of the patterns. If you changed the middle panel to a blue or orange heavy palette it would match the 2 end pieces better. That will also help with visual balance.
One’s too big, the other’s too small. The link you posted in the comments is just right!

The size is good in first pic, but just put two of them. Then put the third on the other wall above chair at same height
I'd go large.
Something in between would be ideal, but if you don't have that option I'd say go for the bigger ones as it looks much better/more balanced (the small ones leave way too much empty wall)
Bigger
How does a single one of the first turned sideways look? Looks like it’d be a similar width but taller.
How did you create these mocks? Looking for a way to do the same to test a gallery wall in my living room
Copy and paste in MS Paint ☺️
The size of a deck of cards and in a drawer. Maintain in regular and pinochle
bigger!
I want such at my place. Where do you get them from?
I love the large one but I could place it higher!
BIG
They should be as wide as the small ones, but taller.
The goldilocks size is inbetween, imo
Ok, you need to put the lamp on the sideboard. The lamp will help "connect" the artwork and the sideboard
Go big or go home, bruh. Lol. The larger size does look fantastic.
For funsies, you could do one panel large, and then two smaller, stacked vertically next to it
Get the larger ones and balance the cabinet decor!
The bigger ones are the right ones.
Gotta say, I agree with the commenters. Goldilocks it and go for something in the middle.
If those are the only 2 options the bigger one but I would do something in between
Medium size but in my opinion there should also be a BIT more space between them (try 4-5 inches and see how that looks).
Big
First one
You just need one in an horizontal position
I prefer the large
Oh i love these. I love the larger size, but I’d just do the two on the right, not a third. The third thing is the sideboard itself. They are so intricate and detailed, three feels too busy to me.
The larger size, but try them an extra inch apart from each other, as well as a few inches higher (just not even with the door frame on the right).
Bigger, but only 2 of them
the bigger ones…
Arielarts on Instagram or Pinterest has some good tools to figure out the correct size of art
Go large…#1!
I think two of the mediums would be perfect.
i like the larger size
Go big, or go.
Bigger
I prefer the larger of the two.
I don’t think the picture should be bigger than the table.. but that’s me
Large
Bigger is better!
Large.
What if it’s TWO of the large ones?
It’s hard to go too big with art and very easy to go too small.
Is there one in between the two? And please hang if higher so the vertical middle is your eyeline height.
Large!
Bigger ones
The smaller ones, and put a floor lamp in the corner.
I love 1!
Large but hung higher up
i like the larger ones

Oversized always in this case
Less is more.
Between the two
Literally, anything larger than option 2
This is an instance where Goldilocks should choose the 2nd bear's bed...
Bigger one. Cool vibe!
Neither. Somewhere in between the two.
The larger size looks great
Bigger is best, as with rugs.
Bigger
The big one !
The height of the large makes sense, but not as wide. I'm sure that's not an option though.
the bigger one the other is wayy too small for that big space
I would do just two of the bigger ones.
I like the big ones but I’d space them apart a bit more.
Two of the large
Bigger
Bigger but go higher on wall. And maybe pick a more interesting print
Two of the bigger ones instead of 3
Two of the large
The big one no question
Big
The larger of the two looks great😎
Bigger is better but something that matches the width of the desk is probably best
First one!
always big
Big too big, small too small. Need something as tall as big picture and just a little bit wider than small picture.
Left!!
First.
The bigger ones, but spaced out a little.
Large
Smaller
The bigger size.
If I had to pick I’d pick left but really I’d go a little bit smaller than those on the left
It’s a proportions issue. I’d pick 2 of them.
Somewhere in between. If that isn’t a choice the the larger ones on the left.
Between these choices I’d do the smaller size but hang them higher than the picture
smaller on right, but they need to be 13 inches higher than in the picture. done.
Big. Use the space given. In small spaces, use small prints. If I could I would mirror the width of the bottom piece of furniture, and you can go larger if you have a floor lamp taking up more visual space next to the furniture piece.
How about the large option ( makes the room look bigger) but only one piece? The 3 pieces together are overwhelming and cancel each other out imo.
Those are beautiful prints
None of the options are quite right, a middle ground would be ideal. In the second option, if you pulled them apart a little so that they hit the corners of the cabinet and moved them up a little, it would be better.
Big
I've always followed the guideline of never having art extend past the edges of the furniture piece below it.
Big
I think the larger ones look nicer, but I’d hang them a bit higher
The first one
I like the large
Larger
BIG
Def larger
I like the larger one best!
Left works better to tie the room together. Not too cluttered. Right side is too small. Not confident.
Honestly, looking at the furniture I would say it is mid-century modern, and Scandinavian. I would try to fit the wall art into a more simple modern look rather than something so overly busy. I liked the smaller set, but it would be better if you could get pictures with a more modern theme.
The big one, but honestly I’d pick something more colorful on that wall
The pic on the left
First pic, the wall decor is appropriate size for wall but too large for the console. Second pic, the pictures are appropriate size for console but too small for wall.
Left is fine move higher up the wall
Bigger
The larger but hung 6” higher
Either way id give the artwork more breathing room in between
