I dunno, do you like this (from our recently remodeled livingroom w/open entry area? Like Kah says, the easiest place to start is from color -- at least that's what my designer wife did first.

I decorate my walls with pieces of art (prints, paintings) that I like and I think are pretty. For me that includes botanical art (flowers), vintage china, some lovely landscapes painted by a relative, prints I've picked up here and there, a few pictures / items that reflect my faith, pictures of my kids and so on. Your pictures / artwork should reflect you. If the art has color in it, that would be great to add some to your room.

The wall opposite my main entrance is dark blue. I am in dilemma as to how to decorate it to look classy. Our furniture and shelves around is raw wood. I want that ewall decor to sync well with the house theme.

There are a lot of options to go for. You can either place an artwork or a set of photo frames of family of a specific size and number to go well with your layout. Contact us for more detailed input for your spaces.
