scale
When you’ve got a large piece of art to hang, it’s important to hang it above an equally large piece of furniture so that the 2 relate to each other. In other words, don’t let a large painting hang by itself on a wall. Anchor it by placing it 4 – 10” above a table and leave a minimum of 4” on both sides of the picture, framing it with lamp[s]. Tall vases also would help put it into context. Tall, narrow pictures, 6’ or more can hang alone, although it’s useful to have several to set up a rhythm on the wall.
Putting oversize paintings and photographs in simple frames, or using no frame at all, is a fresh way to handle artwork. Think of the way an art gallery displays works: one or two to a wall, with lots of white space between. Big, contemporary artwork is a great way to make a traditional space feel more current.

Houzz; "This particular design really plays with proportion. On paper, I wouldn't think this oversized sculpture would work with this slender table, but it does work. Don't be afraid to experiment."
Keep an eye on scale and lines. Here, taller seating wouldn't work — but they might in a less traditional room lacking chair rails. Yellows and golds are the neutrals here, and accents are kept to a bare minimum. Surprise elements are twofold: The ethereal, mustardy abstract and the mirrored coffee table are both lovely anchors. The round lines of club chair pair well with the classic, silk velvet roll-arm sectional — and nicely contrast with the angular moldings. Sharp marble, obsidian obelisks and jutting black sconces tie it all together while contrasting color-wise.
high ceiling, might be that sofa size was 'set aside' for large art
light isn't large but art is.
to me high windows fit a wide light - length both of them.
Tending towards black, the deep espresso brown in this room is livened up by a rich shade of blue. The oversize art repeats the bright blue and emphasizes the contemporary feel of the room in both palette and subject matter.
long length windows - large art
mirror and art have presence like a beautifully large sea creature.... you can't ignore....
art 'matched' some by mass of cabinets ... like wallpaper...
tiny rug
undersized art charming / over is grand statement ?
is art so big cause it has to 'fight with' the existing architecture?
art 'as big as' bare floor/ entry/ divider.... space..........
couch low and chairs high?
3 circles must be ok / balanced cause of massive amount of brick and windows / simple materials.
it's all in white - matter that stand is tall...
lady is only thing in art - make it better that it's too big? or is it.. does it matter.
guess the table works with space between sofas and presence of all windows
... if you love the art enough?...
and why not
it's what you like!
Many would say posters are too large. Something 'comforting' about it - maybe that there are 3 and they entirely fill the wall?
large this large that toasty neutrals
