You could also L the couches to each other and then pull the chair in and over some.

I think the pictures would look great closer together. I would centre the coffee table too. I do, however like the idea of the couches in an L position. They always say that you want to create conversation areas. I have found that here at my house too, that the couches and love seat are too far apart to have a decent conversation areas. The L position would look good too as it would separate the room that is behind it. Of course it is something that needs to be moved first because it may not look as good after you move it.

Julieboo, I think your room is lovely. My favorite thing about your room, however, is the puppy snuggling up in the chair

What's better: two pictures or three? Any thoughts on the placement?

Should they be grouped closer together?

Is it possible to pick up a complementary picture to blend with the gold framed one a little better? That way, you can place the other elsewhere in the room since its color values are not comparable to the two that are side by side. It would still work in the room, just not so closely placed with these two very complementary ones. Texannie's suggestion would work very nicely! Love the colors in this room, Julieboo.

I thought the pictures had the same frame, I would keep them the same as you had them then just because of the different frames. It is certainly a lovely room..you did a great job with it.

Hey what about this--is it better or worse? Also--thanks for the suggestions! (I cut and pasted them, so they may look a little "off.")

Not crazy about that look. Think part of the prob is that the one on the right has a different 'look' than the other two..a little lighter and airier. I do like the other two closer together though. Why not try moving the big one a little over to the right, and then bring the left one down level with it. (left one right above the line where the two pillows meet, and the big one's right hand side right above the straight maroon stalk of that plant...does that make sense??)

I would keep them at the same level..but the problem I still think is that the frames do not match. If i I remember correctly was there not a picture like the one on the left between your set of windows? If that is the same, what about moving the one on the right to there and that one over and try that

You are right Skootz, but that picture is a whole lot smaller... I think I will go shopping for another (i actually grabbed the white flower one from my bedroom)

have you ever thought of hanging the big one with the red at either the top or bottom?

Okay, is there any better way to arrange the furniture in here? Here are some shots of the room that show the odd shape of it. It would be much easier if the room were "square."

Tex, can you clarify your last question? I don't follow...

You could try putting the love seat along the line of the slant then bringing in the chair a little....just start moving furniture.

The big painting in your den..have you ever thought of hanging it with the red part either on the top or bottom?

what about moving the couch to where the love seat wall is. and then moving the love seat beside the tv and then the chair on the angle where the end table is near the hardwood. I think with the entire picture problem is that if you don't have the 3 pictures looking all the same ... it will always look a bit off. IMHO, I think you need one large picture for that wall or three matching.

good idea Skootz. Seriously Julie, just start moving stuff around. I am very visual and I just have to play and see it. I have had my den in so many configurations, it's fun!

Thanks guys! I have a bad upper back right now--I picked Ella up over my head and pulled something on the right side. Damn, I am falling apart! Anyways, I will try playing with the furniture later... (although right now I am dying to try skoots' idea out!) I have some pictures from the kitchen, I will post in a minute. Let me know what ya think...
