Hello to everyone here - many thanks for your interest, we have approx 45 photos of various stage of working on this Marble styaircases ( it was antique reproduction from Catalog) and will try to show you some best pictures, meanwhile please go thru following links some photos already uploaded at Houzz at http://www.houzz.com/projects/103334/White-Marble-Staircases

Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

Got it - if that works... I sort of like the idea of an art gallery being a journey of discovery so I created more corners and alleys for people to walk around.. in your case, the view would be easy to see everything in one swoop (but therefore not allow each piece of art to showcase itself uniquely)if you go back to my image, you have pictures leaning or hanging low on the floor level, you then have others higher up with jutting out shelves on which you have placed sculptures.The visitor walks around the block to find hidden artwork - they then walk up the block and view items displayed there (maybe a table with smaller sculptures and more artwork leaning on the balcony. They can then look out at the artwork on the walls and down on the artwork leaning on the floor on the lower level.... different vantage points: a journey.
