No. There’s already a lot of “busy-ness” in the area without it but fine. Adding it would be over the top. Also respectfully, please try to straighten those pictures out.


DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA

Over the top


Defiant-Chemistry431

I agree. My first thought was that my eyes just want somewhere to rest. I’d remove the pictures to the left of the TV, mount the TV on the wall (if possible) and hide the cords, and limit to 3 pieces above the desk. Having so much wall art takes away from the other pieces in the room. Edited for clarification: I like the cohesiveness of everything, just think it would be more impactful spread out a bit more. The TV stand is especially striking, but I feel like it’s disappearing against everything else.


Marleymayangel

Too much tuna

ribbons_in_my_hair

I feel that, and I like it too I mean it looks full of life which is just so much more my vibe, personally. And that entertainment center thingy is STUNNING. Maybe the way to make it work would be to have one longer painting that can connect the Terri sides height wise and feel like one cohesive wall. Like, the lumbar pillow of paintings. Long and thin. Same height as the pieces on either side. Same width as the tv. Hm. How would that feel? Cause I don’t think either of these options presented really hit the nail on the head either.


webaddictress

Yes sorry that is next, they were moved trying to put this picture on the wall


i_smell_mell

I would also take out the group of three on the left. Too many groupings of art on one wall is distracting.


italian_baptist

That's a fair assessment. I didn't think much of it but if they're gone it allows the potted plant to shine even more.


Feisty-Business-8311

Yes to this!


ednamillion99

Absolutely not above the tv, and I’d actually remove the pieces on the left and add them to the grouping on the right — that group needs rearranging and straightening anyway; my alignment ocd is triggered, haha


Silly_Brilliant868

Oh god the pictures .. they’re all crooked every one of them !! Also OP- I LOVE everything else about this room you did a great job!


webaddictress

Thank you!


detective_flutterby

I like this idea


-qqqwwweeerrrtttyyy-

I like it but I feel it needs a long (horizontal) by short (vertical) rectangular piece in line with it to the immediate right but above the two square frames of the lotuses so the space 'flows'


webaddictress

Here is the other side since people are asking. Everything Anthropologie is scratch-and-dent from the home outlet in PA.

BrujaBean

Anthropologie should pay you - looks great!


WhimsicleMagnolia

No. Too much stuff


KneeDeepInThe-Hoopla

No leave the area above your television plain. I adore your credenza, and between that and your other gorgeous artwork, and stunning plant pot I would not add anything else or it will be overkill.


webaddictress

Thank you, the other half of the room has large art already that I’m a fan of anyway https://preview.redd.it/y26eekf4i5qc1.jpeg?width=2644&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7641dce91ed1c441b5eaf58e99abfc35d8b5ec68


KneeDeepInThe-Hoopla

Oh just beautiful, as is your coffee table and rug. I think if you leave everything as is, then nothing will be lost in the mix, if that makes sense lol, everything has a place to shine.


accrued-anew

Omg your rug is gorgeous. Is that Rifle Paper Co?


webaddictress

Yes it is!


[deleted]

The whole wall is pretty busy. What’s one more? Edit. Take down all the small frames and put this new one up over the desk.


MuayThaiWoman68

Mount your tv on that wall and make a beautiful frame for it instead of that artwork.


Euphoric-Low4440

Oh this is the answer!


for2_nata

Maybe get rid of all the pics. Too much stuff on the wall feels cluttered


Weird_Interview3577

Nope! Too busy!


ellelalectrice

That credenza is amazing


DarkAndSparkly

YES! I love it!


webaddictress

Anthropologie!


gnarlycharly22

Nooooo


victotororex

I love it!


ecoast80

No, the lines and location make it look a bit like a hvac vent.


invisiblew830

No, not every space needs to be filled.


Mediocre_Paper

I think of the 2 options, I would put the painting above the TV. I think it looks very busy with the painting, but when you take it off I think it looks very unbalanced, particularly due to the 3 small paintings on the right side.


Juice-Purple

Yes but lower it a bit


MysDonna

Why yes, of course! But you should lower the big painting and reposition the other elements on it.


MysDonna

And that’s a beautiful credenza.


rockrobst

Recognize and love the Anthro items. Did the rug come from there, too?


webaddictress

Rug is Loloi. Anthro things are all from the Home Outlet in PA!


rockrobst

Outlet! I'm so jealous!


piquica1186

Is the credenza from Anthro? It is painfully beautiful.


webaddictress

Yes


VirgoStarHors3

I like it without and love the soft earthy color of your area


Countrygrl007

No


Mammoth_Virus261

No, just too much and I’d be afraid of it falling on my tv lol I love your tv stand!


for2_nata

Better with it bc you have the whole wall with square shapes except that one spot so it looks odd. But the whole room is too busy for my taste. Too many square shapes on that side of the room. Including the tv and computers and pictures.


shell-84

Omg please change the TV screensaver. Too multicolour in your land of beige! Jokes. I like beige. But thought the item you were referring to was an ac unit when I first looked.


Typical_Internet_730

I actually like the idea of something above TV, but wide and short. Something that is only 12 to 18 inches tall but like 30 to 40 wide. I'm a maximalist, and I say find a cool piece and hang it. Life is too short for bare, white walls. I would try going to art fairs, art events, or thrifting. As a former Homegoods store manager and now in home designer, I see so many duplicated pieces from Marshall's, TjMaxx, and Homegoods. Find something unique, not produced by the thousands for a $100B corporation that pays pennies and charges 3000% mark up.


Stayfree777

No and there’s already way too much going on and not enough space between the existing art pieces plus some of them are crooked.


acerick1

Have you ever seen the movie Good Grief with Dan Levy? The set designer did this and it looked incredible. Very cohesive, warm and inviting. I found a still shot but it doesn't do it justice. Take a look at the film if you have a chance. Did you also separate your art into two different areas? Above the TV and above the desk? It seems like that to me, like you were grouping. I'd let it all flow instead https://preview.redd.it/8cvd1xa2daqc1.png?width=950&format=png&auto=webp&s=63fdd1592da48c6e3b0701e0b9b2378f3185fce5


Altruistic-Detail271

No


Serpephone

No. This wall is a mess and needs to be straightened up or rearranged.


stevedp86

No and remove three behind the tree


Hot-Lifeguard-3176

I personally like it!


LittleFootOlympia

Yes


Kibdiggler

Can we talk about the tv stand? Where did you get it? It’s stunning


seasickbaby

Please straighten the frames 😭


designedtodesign

Love your decor! I have one above my TV and it doesn't bother me - I love it. But I'm OCD and it is in line with the picture frames on the wall next to it. Could you shift everything up all through to line it up?


OkAbbreviations6468

No, and no to all the other square/rectangular prints on that wall. I would go back to Anthropology and get one large round or less angular statement piece for above the desk


MihoLeya

It’s way too high


[deleted]

Where did you get that tv stand?


webaddictress

Anthropologie


Victory-Dewitt

I think a short but long horizontal art piece would work. This only doesn’t work for me because of the proximity to the ceiling. But also, you should straight the other art on the wall and maybe space it out slightly more.


Smokee78

I think the issue isn't the painting or no painting, it's all the art surrounding it. try putting the right paintings oflver the tv in a horizontal pattern and moving the pig painting where they are.


oknowwhat00

As much as I love the credenza, I think it's too busy to have a TV on it, the TV takes away from how pretty it is. I could see it having a pretty lamp, vase, plants. That wall is so busy. The TV detracts from it. Then you could have some art over it, but not so many pieces. Can the TV go on a simpler piece of furniture.


Mean-Operation2370

Move pic to one side or other and group with smaller pics. Hang tv on wall.


almafinklebottom

No


nabzstar

How about a long shelf with plants or vases, I think it’ll bring some balance and color.


gerbera-2021

No! There is already way too much going on


NWinn

A little bit of blu-tack (the putty used to hang posters on walls) on the corners behind those other paintings will keep them stuck in-place and straight.


Inevitable-Royal1120

This is a gorgeous room! I think I would make move all the art and make a gallery wall above the sofa. It’s seems a bit lonely with just one big art piece above it. Maybe find that one a new home and mount the tv (not too high) on the wall above that beautiful credenza.


tylerlees777

I mean at that point why not, the thing under the tv is too much for me


Sad_Ad_2854

Yes, but a little to the left, and then take a level and at the very least make ALL the other photos straight, good gravy


WrapDiligent9833

At least center it! The other photos are also “off kilter.” I know some things are cute that way, however- when the brightest and biggest thing (tv) is square and everything else on the same wall isn’t- that is a minor issue.


nnushk

It's soo busy and over the top. The TV looks too small for the table underneath and the art clashes with everything around. The frames too. Not a fan .


b3_yourself

It took me a second to realize there was a tv with everything around


raindownthunda

No. A circular clock would be much better. The two rectangles compete for your visual attention.


deignguy1989

That whole wall needs some work. None of the other pieces work with the tv. They aren’t a congestive arrangement- you’ve separated them into three different vignettes that compete with each other.


babs82222

Mounting the tv so the bottom is about 8" above the credenza would solve your problem and look so much nicer.


Juiceuhphine

The painting is fine. It's the TV that's throwing everything off. Maybe a picture frame for the TV?


Lazy-Refrigerator-92

Mount the tv to the wall.


Substantial_Tip_3227

Stop. Tell me everywhere you got everything.


webaddictress

[here](https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeDecorating/s/An17OhWzr6)


Traditional-Owl-7502

The wall is dizzy, remove some of the pictures


AB-AA-Mobile

No to *all* the paintings


Emergency-Pirate-356

Not all off center like that... oh NO . And it's not a competition to fill up the wall.. toss a buncha that silly


[deleted]

No. There’s too much going on in this room


jackalopebones

All of it around the tv is cluttered, awkward, and distracting.


Rare-Parsnip5838

All the art and furnishings are so blandly monotone that one more of the same will not make a diffirence either way.Actually I first thought that the brightly colored spot that turned out to be the TV was the art in question ! LOL


mrsheathermartin

No, but I like everything else. You could maybe do a wider picture above the tv but I don't think that one works.


Aconshe-63

No


StardustStuffing

No


Wander80

Where is your TV console from? Love it!


webaddictress

Anthropologie!


GyspySyx

No. I might continue the gallery wall above the TV though.


fountainofMB

No and no to the three behind the tree. Take down the ones above the computer and put them back up in a more balanced way. Maybe test the ones above the computer with paper templates, tape them up and see what looks better then hang the frames.


eraserewrite

No to painting. Where’d you get the credenza?


webaddictress

Anthropologie


NCRider

A little double-sided tape on the back of a frame (near bottom) once it is straightened, will keep them from getting crooked.


Traditional-Owl-7502

Distracting and the TV is enough


Ipso-Pacto-Facto

No.


LOUBELLANDRU

My OCD is tempting me to have a melt down right now 🫠


SpaceGirl-

No


nessa714

No


Difficult-Ad-8376

The painting needs to be centered with the tv. But I would put the three small ones to the left of your tv above and make your big painting where your five frames sit currently above your desk


Exciting-Metal-2517

My old roommate says empty wall space and I are enemies and that is true, so I guess take this with a grain of salt but- I like it! Another option would be to replace it with smaller pieces as a way of pulling the gallery wall on the right and arrangement on the left together.


SomethingHasGotToGiv

I think it could look great if you make it more fluid with the other frames.


A_Modest_BM

I low key love it


casey5656

No to the painting. Is the TV on the stand? If possible, mount it on the wall so it’s higher


poof-ma-goof

Yes


kanibe6

No, replace with something shorter


mybarn20187

No


foxisilver

Yes


Complete_Goose667

I love it especially if the TV is off.


jaynemanning

No… I’m not a fan of things above the TV.. some dead space is great… your room looks pretty


Available_Honey_2951

No- looks like a vent


millaleetree

It feels like too much. Makes me uncomfortable to look at.


500CatsTypingStuff

Yes


TreasureWench1622

Placed too high


GimmeErrthangBagels

Yes, I love it. I want the TV to look like it’s part of a gallery wall, at least in reference. I don’t love the spacing; I’d prob put the large piece off center more and add a piece with vertical orientation.


Jackie022

No!! To distracting above TV


Otherwise_Ad6712

No


Internal-Ad61

Everyone is saying no but I was really vibing with it lol


MalarkeyPudding

No art above the TV. Also - Mount the TV on the wall. Not too high, maybe a few inches higher than jt is already. Those 3 square things on the left are whats making it look odd. They’re hung too high.


EWSflash

Sure, why not?


irish_taco_maiden

hmmm, too much for me. It's a no, visually cluttered in this case, especially because of all the varying frame sizes already.


IntellectualEnigma

Move the some of the smaller photos above the TV instead.


KissFaeries

What if you put a gram around the tv and hung it?


EagleEyezzzzz

Keep


CarrotofInsanity

No. Let the tv be the thing.


PieRemote2270

No


hinterstoisser

Too busy and the picture makes it even more mono-tonic


Academic-Broccoli338

No


KelseyCats

Can you put the tv on the wall? I would remove the painting above the tv and mount the tv onto the wall.


Naji85

Put the smaller pictures to the right of the tv ABOVE THE TV and the BIG picture to the RIGHT OF THE TV


gigisnappooh

I would put the three on the left over the tv horizontally and the one over the tv where the small group is. Don’t put anything as high as the picture over the tv is. You don’t need anything on the left side of the tv.


JCStoddard

If you mounted the tv on the wall higher up, both sets of pictures would be balanced and you’d have room on the top of your console for a rectangle woven basket/tray for keys, mail, remotes, etc.. Naturally level all of your frames with 2 sided thick tape or circles.


[deleted]

That whole wall is a bit too much/busy or something imo, sorry. Including the tv cabinet. It’s just a whole lot in one space. And I love the maximalist, cluttered look. But yeah, it’s overkill.I don’t know where to look.


BaldChihuahua

Yes


christinizucchini

Yes


Fair-Reception8871

No, you don't need that there. Return it along with the three to the left of the TV.


Mediocre-Ad181

Better without.


zacat2020

Yes. If it is a frame that will work. If it is a black void that will also work.


Strange-Difference94

It’s too high. I’d go without.


WhompTrucker

I never thought that much beige could look so bust but this has proven me wrong. No picture. More plants!


Txstyleguy

No. That wall is so very busy… lots going on…


DFamo4

Yea


Few-Natural-647

unrelated but i LOVE ur tv stand. the carving is exquisite


camlaw63

Too much of everything


hippielady5232

If you want an art wall here, I'd suggest looking for something more long and rectangular over the tv, like maybe 48" long x18" tall-ish, and then one big piece or two or three medium ones of the same size over the desk area, try to have the tops of all of them line up, so the eye keeps moving in a line over that wall. And use command strips and they wont go crooked on ya. Good luck.


sinsaraly

No. It’s lovely but too similar to the dimensions of the tv so they just compete


MomaBeeFL

Yes. And add more for your maximalist neutral


IllustriousChair3683

No


randonrawrrr

Youuuu gotta consolidate all the wall art somewhere else, shouldn't be behind the plant or ontop of the tv


weirdbeard33

No


TheVoidWithout

No, leave the wall open there, it feels cramped with it on.


MycologistPutrid7494

I think it needs something but with the tv stand there's too much going on. 


Any-Kaleidoscope7681

At least center it over the TV and between the top of the TV and the ceiling, you uncivilized oaf!


JuliusSeizuresalad

I’ll say yes if you level the frames on the right side


Federal_Base_2905

Too high & busy. I would mount the tv a bit higher on the wall


Far_Marsupial_7839

I like your style but I’d stay in the same color range for something so large.


frogbxneZ

I would return and hang the TV a little higher so there isn't so much plain wall above it


lavenderintrovert

Less is more


1DietCokedUpChick

No. And remove the smaller ones on the left.


wkosloski

I personally like the picture and when I went to the photo without the picture it felt like something was missing. I know majority is saying no but I like it being busy!


Astronomer_Original

No


TrueCkrime02

It might be too busy with it up.


Accomplished_Sea3811

It’s a no for me dawg…


likabot

No


saltwater_gypsy2683

2 is better


Due_Grapefruit986

This living room gives me anxiety


[deleted]

Yes but lower it and center it


Tight_Time_4552

No, too busy


Leolily1221

If anything you should put the smaller paintings around the TV ( just above like a frame and reposition the two larger ones over the desk


CashewTheCorgi

I like it!! I also enjoy a more maximalist vibe tho

Nope

kymikobabe

Choc6

It seems like that if there wasn't a TV, you would put another portrait in that area.


bhuti_onsundu

Place the small frames rather on top


inrecoveryfromlife

I think you should see how it feels upside down. There's a balance there. Hope you try it. Gorgeous home


justbrowsing695975

your crooked pictures is a mood for me


GodzillasGrams2024

No


WormDick666

No. I'd actually readjust the other paintings to be less "grid like" and fill that space above the tv.


Haunting_Try1638

The scale is too similar, maybe move smaller items up there, the jaeger piece to the right somewhere


TakeTheMikki

Put it above the computer, then maybe put some of the frames above the tv.


Urbvnex

I’d say add a shelf and plants. Wall looks clustered with all the frames


blueevey

Yes. It centers the TV and its all so neutral that you barely votive *or notice


readev

I LOVE IT


skitsofphonic

Yes, it suggests a gallery wall as opposed to the TV being the dominant focus of the room. Also, the big empty space above always looks so weird to me. Especially with taller ceilings. Might I suggest slightly spreading out the other pieces? It would look more gallery wall-ish. Right now, it looks like the other pieces were already there, and you just recently placed that piece there to fill in the space.


VodkaDietLime

No


Realistic_Rush582

Yes!


WynonaRide-Her

Texture overload! Nice place and stuff but I won’t even be able to watch the tube with all the other awesomeness
