P.S. the top one is 40” x 40”. The colorful one and the beige one are the same size, 29” H x 22” wide

I also really loved these, I should have bought them!
Maybe I’ll go back…

I love that top one; it’s like an echo or a reflection on water of your area rug.
Beige one is too similar to your black and white piece. I like the colorful one. But I really love that last picture; go back and get those! I mean, you’re going back to return the beige one anyway, right?

@ShiroKuro Thank you! I’m happy with the way it all came together.

@AdagioM Love the cat pics! So adorable. I love everyone's rooms actually! @Jodi 's room is awesome too!
@ShiroKuro - love the top one and I love the ones you didn't get (though they won't do much for the acoustics if you're still concerned about that). But those lines and colors really complement the rug well....kind of a Frank Lloyd Wright-ish vibe. I kinda like the beige one too, but it sounds like I'm the only one LOL!
I love the one with the circles as well but not sure about that with your rug....I'd have to see it (which is why I like shopping at stores like that - I can try things out!)
Can't wait to see more photos!

I went and got them!!
(I had to return that beige on anyway...)They are interesting because they're kind of 3D actually... Anyway, photos soon. I now have four pieces to play with -- and a 60-day return window.

I think it works, at least it looks nice on the floor propped up against the wall, which is where it is right now. Maybe I'll just leave it that way ...

So, I think the big square one will work behind the piano:
Could I put those black ones on either side, or maybe not have the square one centered, and have the black ones staggered on one side? No, weird?
I don't think they'd work on the same wall as the circles:
Any thoughts?

Maybe the square one can go towards the piano's tail and the two black ones can go over the shelf that you can't really see that's in the back left corner of the photo w/ Mr SK in it. The two black ones are not the same size, and I think they'd look good staggered... Then I could put the circles on the opposite wall from the square one so that I could see it when playing... Or on the back wall/...
Hmm. Maybe tmrw I'll go back to powerpoint...

Don’t flank the square one with the black ones. I think I’d like the square one towards the keyboard end of the piano. It’s big and has a lot of visual weight. And the smaller black ones to the right of it, same wall?

Thanks for the suggestion! I think you’re right, putting the black ones in either side of the square one will look weird.
Also, I don’t have to put those black ones on that wall, they could go on a different wall as well…
I think tmrw I will see if I can make a few virtual options to help me decide which works best.

Well, I printed out all the new artwork on printer paper — and finished printing just before the power outage! Then, since there was nothing to do during the outage, I got all the paper prints cut and taped together — that’s five test prints, which was pretty time-consuming! So now Mr SK and I will put them up on the walls in the piano room (using painter’s tape) and try different configurations. So stay tuned!

How about something like this? You can have them made in any size and colors you want.
From Etsy

Steve, that could be quite nice in the right colors. (If I end up returning one of the piece I bought, bc otherwise it won’t fit
What is the name of this? The link you posted only shows the jpg but I’d like to look at the seller and see more in

The lady we’ve bought from in the past will make a custom one based on a picture you send her. Not sure if the link is to that seller, but Etsy has several sellers who make them.
I think using some of the colors from the rug would look really good.

Steve, so just "yarn wall art" or something? I'll look on Etsy.

Ok, I think I am mostly settled on what is going to go in this room! Now I just have to decide the placement.
These colors are not accurate, because these are print-outs. The largest print is the worst. But when I look at the real print, I think the colors work.
So for the wall behind the piano, I'm leaning toward option 1. For one reason, I like this one best in terms of my view from the bench. Also, I think it works better when the piano is open.
Option 1:
Option 2:
In the Option 2 pics, you can sort of see the B&W piece that will go on the right hand wall.
And this is what will be on the wall opposite:
(note that's bubble paper on the right hand print, it's not really green).
I suspect this combination of art might seem over the top, or people might just not like the pieces, but I love them so hopefully it's not so horrible...
Anyway, if you have any thoughts about option 1 versus option 2, please let me know!

BTW the two pieces with the black background are sort of 3D. The frame sits out from the artwork, and each piece is a separate piece of wood. They look great in person!
Maybe you can tell:

I have a hard time visualizing...could the 3D pieces work if they're both rotated 90 degrees, and then stacked one above the other, probably smaller one on top ? Big square piece on the left as you have it in photo 1, and the other two as a group off to the right. Would have to experiment with spacing, my first thought would be to have the two smaller pieces centered in the rightmost third of the wall.
