New Living Room Art… Help Me Decide!

March 31, 2015 by Aliesha

I’ve decided I want to add some new art to my living room!  Because of our high ceilings and the large room, some of the walls still seem rather bare!

I’ve been eyeing some beautiful limited edition art from Minted, and I thought maybe you could give me some help deciding what to get!  (Side note, I’ve been crushing on Minted for a while now!  They have the BEST invitations, announcements, and pretty much anything else printed on paper. The designs are so fresh and fun! I’ll be keeping them in mind for baby announcements this fall!)

Maybe I’ll grab three pieces (of varying sizes) and hang them together in a little collection.  I really want some fun, bright pieces to go in my living room!  The colors in the room are blue, green, teal, brown, and a bit of aqua.

Which of these pieces are your favorite?  I’m having trouble narrowing it down!  (You can click on each image to go to its page on Minted.)

First, this piece calls to me, since I looooove birds and nests (obviously, right?)! (Title: Fly)

Fly Next, I like this watercolor, especially the colors of the bottles! (Title: Glass Bottles)

The colors in this next one are so pretty too!  Fun pattern as well, and I like that it’s square. (Title: Intermittent)

This one is unique too and I like the pretty shade of blue. (Title: Blue Floral I)Fine Blue Floral Teal

I think this one could work nicely with several of the other pieces in a grouping.  (Title: Ocean Currents)Ocean Currents

This one is similar to one above, so I’d only use one of them in the frame arrangement.  I think I may like this one a teeny bit better! (Title: Blue Floral II)Fine Blue Floral II Teal

This succulent painting is so sweet.  I love the shades of green. (Title: Aeonium)Aeonium

This one has such a fun pattern, and the color is delicious! (Title: Abstract Triangles)Abstract Triangles

This next one is completely different than any of the others shown, but I thought I’d throw it into the mix too! (Title: Below Revello)

Below Ravello

As far as colors go, this one doesn’t exactly “go” with the color scheme I’ve chosen, but I get big heart eyes every time I see it.  Beautiful. (Title: Meander)Meander

And lastly, another lovely patterned watercolor.  (Title: Abstract Herringbone)Abstract Herringbone

Alright… so which ones do you love?  I obviously love way too many… I need to figure out which three to get!  There is a cool feature at Minted that allows you to create “pin boards” to test out which art pieces look good together!  Very fun!

    I love the colorful flowers and the bottles! They are all so pretty, though, it’s a hard choice! 🙂

    I think the nest one would be perfect for you!! It is really unique and so pretty + it has a meaning to you which I think makes it even more special!!

    My vote is for these:
    Fly (naturally)
    Intermittent
    and Blue Floral I or 2
    All are lovely!

    Fly and glass bottles would be a must have.
    Then I would choose either ocean currents or abstract triangles.
    The abstract triangles reminds me of white nylon fishing net that fisherman used long ago.
    For me, the birds nest reminds me of God’s creation of all the birds, the glass bottles reminds me of something old and vintage. Plus the colors remind me of sea glass. And the last two remind me of the sea.

    Together, they remind me of living by the sea.

    We live in a tiny former fishering village on the NC coast. Sometimes you can sit on the front porch
    and hear the ocean, especially after a storm. I can walk 3 or 4 houses over and see the Outer Banks of NC (Cape Lookout National Seashore). And even though there’s nothing else here, nothing no store, no gas, nothing. I still love it. I have to drive over an hour to get to a decent grocery store. We can go to the beach and sometimes never see another human being. Nothing but the sun, sand, surf and a few sea gulls.

    It’s really easy here to see the beauty of God’s creation.
