I had an another post for today but I skipped it; as I just could not wait to reveal the living room pictures with the posters. Nor could I make you nice peeps wait any longer to see it.
This time, I will let the pictures talk for themselves.
The posters were size 16x12. I could go with either 16x12 photo/picture frames or bigger. The book came with 10 posters but I settled on using only 8 of them.
We already had couple of 16x20 frames from Michaels. So, I purchased 6 more of the 16x20 frames. I did not buy any mats to go with it. The backing of the posters in the picture frame is the paper that came with the frames.
There has been few changes in the room compared to the last post. You see different pair of chairs in today's post. You will have the skipped post in the coming week.
Going with all the 10 posters from the book would have crowded the wall.
I had plans to change it 6 months ago. Other projects and priorities moved this to the back burner.
Update: One of the reader, Kate suggested I post a before after picture. So here it is.
And I need to work on my photo skills too.
And I did talk despite mentioning that I will let the pictures talk for themselves.
Have a wonderful week ahead.

Love it...Love it...Love it. Great pops of color. The posters go so well with the other pieces in the room. Only thing extra I would suggest is extending that gorgeous art wall all the way up to the ceiling. That would make some statement. Did I say, I love it? Pinning it.
ReplyDeleteVidya, Appreciate your comment and the feedback. I guess you are right about hanging them a little higher. Will do. Thanks for pinning.
ReplyDeleteWow Reshma! What lovely colours!! The posters are adorable arent they!
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of orange here and there- the lamps are adorable.
I agree eight posters look perfect for the wall. Do you think adding a large horizontal canvas on top would visually elongate the space and take your eye up to the tall ceilings?
Having parted with my unsolicited advice, Im off to explore the rest of your lovely blog :P
OMG! Just saw Vidya's comment!! Hmm great minds and all that...
ReplyDeleteThanks Madhu. We did shop for a large painting/art but nothing that both hubby and me agreed on. And the really good ones were pretty expensive. I know, Vidya and you think alike.
DeleteWhat a cheerful, color filled room. Love it. I love your white couch. May I ask where you purchased it? I have wanted a white couch for the last couple of years. fmoore11589@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteThank you, Francis. Couch is from Ikea.
DeleteLovely pops of color! The deep gray is an amazing base, and I love the entire palette. I'd suggest adding pops of turquoise/cerulean/robin's egg blue (one of the three not all three!) to complement the orange too! Maybe paint the lamp bases, or switch out a couple of the orange pillows for fresh blue ones?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will see if I can find a turquoise blue fabric for the pillows.
DeleteLove it! (Forgot to sign in when I commented earlier!)
Deleteloved d choice of colors as you paired them with all d neutrals..a perfect balance.All d best for future blogs.keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteThank you Surabhi. Just came visiting your blog. You have all of my fav recipes on your blog.
DeleteLove the colors. Very attractive. Bright yet soothing to the eyes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alka for visiting.
DeleteI loved the colors u used...they give a vibrant face to whole room,lovely...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Glad you liked them.
DeleteThis is so beautiful! I appreciate the bold colors you've used. I wish you could show a before and after picture right next to each other. There don't seem to be any "before" photos in this post (I came form the Young House Love forum.)
ReplyDeleteKate, Thank you for visiting. I will update this post with the before picture. Thanks for the suggestion.
DeleteWow, this is so beautiful! I love all the color that the posters bring into the room. I also love your lamps.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Raechelle. Glad you like both the posters and the lamps. Feels good.
DeleteI flippin' LOVE the color that those posters bring to that space, and the clean modern way you hung them. well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting. Yes, the posters changed the look of the room.
DeleteLena, Thank you.
ReplyDeletevisiting you from redoux. Love love the orange as an accent
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteHow much space did you leave between each picture, and how many inches above the back of the couch is the bottom of the frames on the first row? What a nice job and I'm sure, no easy feat! I don't think you need to raise the arrangement. You wouldn't want it to line up with the top of your window treatment or the loft railing. Down the road you might add another row or large horizontal piece, as Madhu suggested. I think a painted reclaimed shutter or iron work would look fabulous, especially if you wish to incorporate another accent color. 2 story ceilings are very difficult and costly to fill. Your room looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. I do not remember the measurements but I will measure and will let you know. Yes, I agree with Madhu that I could go with another row only I need to get more posters. Or change to new pictures.
DeleteLove the gray mixed with the bright colors, especially those orange pillows.
ReplyDeleteHey Andrea, Thank you. It's been more than a year I did this room but it still makes me happy looking at it.
DeleteI have done a few gallery walls and it is so hard to get them all hanging perfectly, but yours actually do look pretty spot on. That must have taken you ages!! Looks great though such a fun and bright living room :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, You will not believe if I said, that it did not take long to do. I had used push pins to hang the frames and was supposed to change it to nails once it was finalized. And it still is not changed. I have used 2 pins for each corner of the frame so they do not move. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteHi Reshma
ReplyDeleteI just loved the prints and ordered it. Also, bought the ikea frames. Guess what two of them broke when hanging. I used the ikea provided frame hanger , it was just too heavy for push pins
I am glad to know you liked the prints and got them but sorry to know about the frame. I did hang mine on push pins for a temporary to be replaced with something permanent which is yet to happen. And I used 2 pushpins for each frames, at the corners.
DeleteLove the splash of color!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous room.

DeleteThe way the photo frames are arranged, gives the room a rich and a beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteDestination Infinity
Rajesh, Going with photo frames was easier than going with a large painting. And I can keep swapping the picture to something different as I go. Thank you for visiting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful living room!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know the name of artist of those cute posters.
Thank you. The artist is Sanjay Patel. You can find this poster book on Amazon.

ReplyDeleteDisha, So sorry. Somehow missed seeing your comment. Thank you. I changed the orange to red. Sometimes, I regret doing it. I am waiting to share the change with you all.
