Thanks so much to Minted.com<\/a> for sponsoring this post. All ideas and opinions of their high quality wall art are 100% mine.<\/p>\n

We’ve moved on from major renovations in the Florida house<\/a> to more decorating and I’m so happy. Our living room is the gathering place in our home. It’s the family room, living room, everything room and I love it. It’s spacious, yet cozy and it’s where we end up at the end of every night spending time together as a family. Since I decided to go really neutral <\/a>on the walls I wanted to bring color into the space in other ways. Its no secret that I love colors that remind me of the coast, blues and greens all the way.<\/p>\n

\"Living<\/p>\n

Plotting the decor in this room all started with this print, called Distant Island Pier.<\/a> I hopped on Minted<\/a> and began browsing. I love that you can narrow your search easily and I was able to narrow my search down to a square oriented abstract. There was still a great selection but I saw this one and immediately knew it was perfect for my space. I love it’s coastal and calm vibe. That is something I wanted this space to reflect.\"Build<\/p>\n

\"Living<\/p>\n

The gallery wall was step two when it came to wall decor for this space. This wall was begging for a gallery wall. Once we mounted the TV (right in the center of a big ol’ wall in our living room.) it was begging for friends to be surrounded by.<\/p>\n

\"LivingI’ve always loved the look of a gallery wall around the TV. It sort of camouflages the big black box (as much as you can camouflage a huge TV) and draw the eye to the beautiful prints and photos.<\/p>\n

\"Living<\/p>\n

Gallery walls can be daunting. You always want to be thinking about scale. Building a gallery wall around a large TV required large pieces of art. The smallest frame here is 8×10 and you can see how small it is compared to the others.<\/p>\n

I ordered multiple pieces of art for the gallery wall on Minted.com including the watercolor abstract<\/a> and the two photography prints to the right of the diamond wall art. The photography prints each remind me of somewhere we’ve lived. The Beachside print<\/a> reminds of our time in Hawaii and the black and white DC<\/a> print reminds me of our time in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

\"Living<\/p>\n

Once the Minted prints arrived I filled in the gaps with other pieces I already had. The diamond piece in the center used to be in Peighton’s room, and the canvas is a huge 24×24 piece that I got from Lindsay Letters before the holidays. I also added a few family photos. I love including family pictures because it gives a more personal touch, plus they are great to change out for a fresh look every now and then.<\/p>\n

I’m really pleased with the state of the living room at this point especially this gallery wall. Moving forward with the decorating of this room I plan on getting a nice comfy chair or love seat and the moving the two rattan chairs over to the fireplace for a little sitting area<\/a>. Anyone have a comfy chair they love?<\/p>\n
