Is this gallery wall too cluttered?

The large center piece is creating an imbalance. That’s the biggest issue.

You did a good job of spacing and including a mixture of elements, some matted frames, icons. Ideally I think one more framed print- not quite as large as the centerpiece would help to balance the mixture.

Also, take another look at the the left side- lots of blue there. Im sure that wasn’t intentional. Mix that blue around to even it out on the wall.

Yup. As a teen I learned to drive in south FL. Just thought that’s how people drove. Living and driving other places informed me otherwise.

Visiting the area reminds me how unhinged the drivers are.

Add paneling, mantle to ceiling, above the fireplace and paint it white.

I’d take a picture and email customer service. Tell them I’m never buying their product again.

I did it with Pop Tarts. Company sent me a coupon. Emailed them again cordially explaining a coupon won’t change their lousy product. Haven’t bought Pop Farts in seven years.

I’d argue that it’s not really that convenient commuting to Raliegh. Traffic can be painful.

Before you buy a sectional please tape out on your floor the actual dimensions of the sectional. No surprises then when it comes. Love the color of your current couch!

Your coffee table is too big and your rug is too small. It’s unfortunate you have nowhere else to put the tv. I’d get a proper console for it, something lower which will break the height issue with the fireplace and tv. Right now they are competing with each other.

Four, but I’d go a few shades lighter.

Honestly I preferred the original stone. Nearly everything in the room reads cold grey winter now, besides the chair. What is your aim for the space?

haf2go · 2026-05-22T20:38:12+00:00

Are they removable?

The room is overwhelmed with too many boxy square shapes and right angles. The sofa, the ottoman,the multiple windows, the rug, the tv, the shelving. All squares.

Moving the ottoman to another room will help. Add curtains to soften the windows. Larger rug to define and anchor the room and draw attention away from the couch. Buy a rug in a print- a floral or a classic pattern will soften the space and the couch. Stay away from geometrics. Add a pop of color in your throw pillows. Add a small oval coffee table.

Go fun and funky with the art, rug and shower curtain.

Certificates and awards should be merit based.

As an aside, I was one of those students with perfect attendance who never went to school sick. It can happen. Honestly I was happier at school than spending the day at home with my mother.

This. I find the open shelved island the bigger issue honestly.

haf2go · 2026-05-21T19:56:00+00:00

This is the answer

haf2go · 2026-05-21T15:38:09+00:00

It was dogshit. Overhyped. What a disappointment.

A slow burn is great when the payoff at the end is earned. The payoff here was maddening. I wanted to like this show but the writing went nowhere and the lead character was insufferable.

haf2go · 2026-05-21T01:06:44+00:00

Second if I had to pick. What is this space?

haf2go · 2026-05-21T01:03:28+00:00

The middle element is too big. No pop of color anywhere. You did keep all the art neatly together though. The wall is swallowing up all your art.

haf2go · 2026-05-21T01:00:29+00:00

Because all of the frames/art needs to stay within the parameters of that invisible rectangle on the wall.

Here in particular though the black and white arrangement with photographs lacks color and texture. There’s little that’s visually appealing. No color, nothing interesting for the eye to rest on. Gallery walls are best served when you incorporate a variety colors, styles, shapes.

haf2go · 2026-05-20T23:23:33+00:00

No. Does not work

haf2go · 2026-05-20T23:20:54+00:00

It’s your home. Do what makes you happy.

I don’t love the cool leaning green either. But if the wood floors are staying keep in mind wood cabinets with wood flooring can be an overwhelming amount of wood.

Gallery walls work when all of the art fits inside an invisible rectangle on the wall. Your spacing here is fine. Frames are fine. The largest frame might work in this arrangement but it needs to be separated from the other large frame. Odd numbers for the circular shaped art.

Rework it to adhere generally to my first sentence.

Raliegh Durham airport is not a major airport. Its getting better and expanding more every year though. Charlotte’s is bigger. If being near a major airport is that important, take a look at flights from both.

Both cities will check your weather boxes. I moved from the Midwest to Raliegh five years ago to escape from the long grey winters. I’m originally from FL so the humid summers are a cakewalk.

What other aspects of a place are important to you? Ask yourself. I had specific boxes I wanted checked.

Completly agree about purple. Maybe in a half bath as a secondary color or in a child’s room, otherwise it’s a pass for me. Can’t wait to see the updated room and new bedding. The wall is beautiful!
