Iron Wall Clock

Ideas for decorating the walls in our family room; black & white pictures of the kids, or artwork?

I'd like to update our family room walls a bit, but can't decide if I should put pictures of our kids all over or artwork? If artwork, should it be all from the same artist? Also, thoughts on the large iron barn stars, too country? Our a large wall clock? The room is kind of small...

I have brown suede couches, goldish-tan paint on the walls. In particular I have a four foot space above the couch which is in between two large windows - this could be a space for a barn star, or clock, or ? Also, we have one large wall without couches underneath, just a leather chair/side table at the edge of the wall. How do I make something look like it belongs there and not just floating?

My style is kind of modern country, I like the look in Pottery Barn. Any ideas on how to make a room look together? Thank you!

I disagree with the bit about kids' pictures only being in the hallways. Why would you put pics of your loved ones only in a narrow hidden space that isn't shown off regularly?

You could scan the pics of your kids and any family photos (if they are color-copies) into a scanner and re-print them with an older, brown antiqued look (think it's called "Sepia"). Most pic programs have that capability. Then the tint of the pics would all match and would coordinate well with your brown couches.

You didn't mention money or much about buying new things but for me a way to save money and to get a neat look was to cut pictures out of an artist's book. I love Ansel Adams and my dad happened to have received his book by one of his employees a while back (this was when I first moved out on my own). My dad gave it to me and I just took some of the best pictures from the book - actually several...about 20 - and framed them all over my apartment. Most were black and white which fit well with my color scheme. And, they look like I went and bought all the pics from somewhere else. I have several different sizes framed all over. Several apartments later and I still have most of the photos on my walls.

If you like several artists I think you could do something sort of the same but maybe finding a book that shows various artists' art work. No one will know whether the pictures on your walls are from the same artists nor would they care if they did know.

I think it'd be cute to frame some of your kids' artwork too. Just depends on how you really arrange everything. You could use just a few frames for the kids' artwork and change out the pics every few months or so.

Not sure if any of this helps but hope so. Good luck.
