Oversized Wall Clock Placement???

Original Author5 years agoUnfortunately my husband won’t move the TV (boo). So I’m stuck with that. The only reason the small grey table is there is to hide the equipment. That big sofa table can go away. That was a piece that was left over from our old house and we didn’t know where to put it. Now that you’ve mentioned there being too much furniture on the walls, I totally see it. That’s probably why I have never been very happy with this room.Robert R. Larsen, Architect

Center the TV over the fireplace and center the sofa on the fireplace as well as the coffee table.
Select a 30" -36" dia. enter table and 27-30" tall lamp and add a canvas over the sofaFairway Style Living
5 years agoAgree with Beverly here - I like your clock piece, but I think it may just be a little overscale to fit comfortably on the far wall. I'd also try your angel wings piece over the sofa first, since it, too, is too large to feel so far in the corner where it's currently placed.
Since we have a 'naked windows situation' in the room, we should leave enough space on either side of these windows for drapery to stack.
Especially on your far wall behind the two armchairs, handsome floor-length drapery framing those windows would be all that wall needs to feel finished, and really show you how much wall space you have left to work with if any additional art is desired there. I might also try a small, tall lamp on the table between those armchairs for a little more ambient lighting, too. There should be a plug somewhere close on that wall!

I think the room also needs some plants to soften it up and break up the furniture and bring in more life.
I also think you need some floor length window covering as suggested above.You have some great pieces but you just need a little bit of a design nudge here and there to make this room a place you're proud of.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoYou've already got a lot of different styles going on in here. Some contemporary, transitional, neo-traditional, etc but you're not getting a good eclectic look (if that's what you're going for). The clock will dominate whatever wall you hang it on and it doesn't look handsomely aged, it looks rusty. Step back and take a little time to winnow out pieces that detract from your overall look and keep the ones you absolutely love. If you have to, take everything out of the room except the seating and then add back in, one piece at a time.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoBig clocks arent really a good idea, sorry. It doesn't allow you to relax, cause there it is, telling you THE TIME every time you look up. If you hang it on your wall you will not like it very quickly. You would do better with pretty art. You should enjoy the things you put on your walls. Ask yourself, will I enjoy seeing this every time I enter the room?
You said you just purchased it. You should see if you can return it. I promise you that you won't be happy with it.

5 years agoHi, hang clock outside in the garden. No mirrors needed just an appropriate scaled art piece, preferably original.Flo Mangan
5 years agoHire a pro to center the TV. art over sofa and hang it around 6” above top of sofa. It should be approx 2/3 the length of the sofa.
