Ok, this is going to be long, so TIA for reading it!! Also, I guess this is sort of OT (OT-adjacent?) so thank you for indulging me!

In my old house, I had something like 12 prints on the walls in my piano room. That sounds like a lot, but it had a lot of wall space and most of the prints were not large .... In the new house, I think I want fewer prints but I want them to be larger. And I want to use stretched canvas w/o a glass front, so maybe the prints won't be framed. (I'm choosing this because glass is such a hard surface, it's not good for the acoustics).

Either way, I want to put some things on the walls in there. But I can't figure out which direction to go with the artwork.

Also I want the pieces to sort of match the rug but not necessarily really "match" the rug...

I do have one piece I already own that I know will go on the wall (as it happens, this is stretched canvas w/ a thin-ish frame and no glass). I had this in my previous piano room and I even had it in the rental house (it was literally the only thing on the walls in the rental). Here it is. This is a mock-up, the piece is not actually on the wall yet, but I think this is where it will go, and it's maybe roughly this size...

Now here's where it gets tricky. I have these two pieces (pics to follow), which I had on the wall in my previous piano room. But I can't decide if I actually want them on the wall in this room or not.... I might keep the smaller one but not the piano... Although I loved it in the past, now I'm thinking "do I need a print on the wall of a piano in a room that has an actual piano?" So maybe I'll get rid of the abstract piano?? But keep the colorful print?

Anyway, this is the wall on the right, to the treble side of the piano. An important point is that I will see this artwork from the piano, but it's only visible once you're in the room. Oh! And here's the other big deal... This is probably the wall that has the most impact on acoustics (maybe??) so rather than these pieces, maybe this is the wall that needs a big stretched canvas piece??? Anyway, here's that wall with mock-ups of the pieces I already own. I pushed them to the right because I thought I would add something on the left?? And that's a red chair there that you can see the top of

Now here is the wall that I most want to decorate for visual purposes, but I'm not sure how important it is acoustically. But you can see this wall when you come into the house, when you're walking through the entryway etc. It's the most visible because you don't have to enter the room to see it.

Here are two large pieces I thought might be candidates. Although I like both of these specific pieces, I'm thinking of these as concepts, so maybe I'll end up with something completely different, but first I feel like I want to choose which concept I like better....

Colorful:

Dramatic:

I can't decided which concept I like better... Mr. SK said he can't decide either. But one thing we thought was that the black and white set (it would actually three canvases) really doesn't match the abstract piano print, so the piano print might have to go... Whereas the colorful one kind of matches, or doesn't clash, the other pieces...

Anyway, art is hard (and you all might hate all of these pieces 😅 but if you have any suggestions about how to settle on a concept, I'd love to hear them!
