My husband and I needed a art piece for over bed. We wanted something modern, clean but a little bit global.
Our challenges: Given that we have an upholstered bed with a higher headboard I didnt want anything too large or bold - that would conflict with the clean/modern look of our upholstered headboard. Also we live in Southern CA - earthquakes are not uncommon - so the art piece had to be something light that if it were to come off the wall & fall upon us - we'd be ok - not facing a face full of glass or a heavy frame. This works just right!
Its VERY LIGHT - no marked holes for hanging but there a lot little nooks to use - its up on our wall very securely and hugs the wall quite well. Hopefully earthquake proof, knock on wood. It's bold enough to make a statement but doesn't really detract from the rest of our room. It even sort of reminds me our growing family (we have two daughters) and my husband says its works because we're lovebirds building our nest in our new home (ok, that's dorky but I thought it was cute!) .
I recommend it - no smell, very light weight (so easy to relocate) and I think it would work in many settings including living/family, dining or bedrooms.
