Jeanette S on Jan 23, 2013I don't know if having a lot of pictures is a curse or a blessing! I too like groups of paintings! I think your problem is the TV. Somehow it just distracts from the grouping. Can you move it elsewhere? If the TV can't be moved, I would move it to one end of the cabinet and arrange the artwork from near ceiling to down to the top of the cabinet...for an off centered look...it just might work. Note on my posting I do not line up pictures (often switch them out because cannot put up all of them at one time) and put at different levels (note the one to the right on separate wall)Helpful Reply

Becky P on Jan 23, 2013I too like a lot of stuff on my walls, but I like the pic with just the 3 pictures side-by-side. The Tv is def a distraction from how pretty the pictures are.Helpful Reply

RJKHomeSolutions on Jan 23, 2013Gorgeous paintings. I agree the TV seems out of place. Mainly beacause the white chair seems to have its back to it, so there isn't a defined viewing area. I recommend the 1st option, but I would center them so that they are an equal distance from the ceiling and the top of the TV. Part of the issue is that the paitings are right above the TV. With a foot or so of space, it should work.Helpful Reply

Jewell on Nov 22, 2013Have you considered relocating all the smaller pieces and replacing them with two more of similar FEELING -- one on either side of the inescapable TV? The small pieces do not have much impact and actually look like afterthoughts. Otherwise, I would go with #1 -- really like them!Helpful Reply

Pat Dollar on May 18, 2014I would remove the bottom row (smaller pictures). They seem out of place with the others and draw attention to the TV making it the focal point.Helpful Reply

Shirley Koenig on May 18, 2014The top photo with just the three large paintings look less cluttered and yes the chair sitting in front facing away from the TV looks out of place. If you have a lot of paintings to hang the three you have hanging above also look OK.Helpful Reply
