My partner and I (both 31M) bought our starter home condo in 2024, and we are still learning about home decorating.
My ideal décor aesthetic is "woodsy boho grandpa who loves birds" hence why I impulse bought a giant loon painting at a thrift store yesterday. It was $20 so I figured if I fail to make it work, it was a very low sunk cost. As for decorating around it, I was thinking mirrors, candlesticks, plants, vase, or statue/bust in varying heights. Pic #2 was my attempt at playing around with ideas.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to hear them! If you think the painting is too big for the space I get that too.
The wall o' Peru to the left is getting scrapped, too. It was going to be filled out with stuff from travel (I go there a lot for work) but my souvenirs are too many small tchotchkes and not enough wall pieces. I think I'm going to put a Chimayó textile wall hanging there instead (pic #3).

The painting looks good over the fire place like that.
What about hanging the picture? You could explore more thrift shops for decor around the fireplace as well, maybe you’ll score some cool planters or vases or even bird statues!
You need more green walls.
