Decorating help please

11 years ago
Large wall that's between kitchen and family room needs something. Possibly built-ins or pictures? Please help.

    Put the clock over the table. Then a large piece of colorful art or a large mirror where the clock was

    the table is too small to hold down that wall. a larger storage wall would have a bit more weight.

    maureen, i first typed what you did, to center both. but i think that table is just too ... small.

    How about a large sideboard with a pair of lamps to start? Then add artwork. You need something substantial in size, the console is just too small there. A built in would work well too.

    I agree with nomimama, but would stick with a large sideboard instead trying to do built-ins


    You have a most beautiful, well designed kitchen. I am in envy of you.

    Besides the kitchen I am in love with the family room. Everything positioned just right. Obviously no need for drapes. You must have a beautiful view as well.

    I would put the clock over the table and put a either one large piece of artwork to the left of the table or a gallery of smaller pieces.

    I would def Agree with the centering the table and placing the clock above it. I would recommend a tall vase on the side of the table once it's centered and losing the tall candle holder because that will interfere with the clock.

    What a pretty house. I'd try the clock over the table too - with large vertical art filling the other part of the wall.

    Or, as others have said, maybe just centering both the table and clock will work.

    If you must keep the current table, you will have to give it a much larger appearance by framing it with artwork - as in outside of the edges of the table.

    And the clock is too big....nearly as large as the table itself. I would find another place for the clock.

    Large farmhouse clocks have a certain feel when they are not in proportion to the furniture below - it's a look that you like or not I suppose.

    Love the clock just not with that table. The example above works because of the space and height of the built ins...I like the look when it works, which isn't always the case. Just my opinion.

    You could try a couple of metal wall panels either to the left or flanking the table, if centered. Clock could be centered over the table.

    Would be helpful to see the rest of this room. It appears the table is too dark and small to blend with this room. I'd consider a mirror, but don't know what it would be reflecting. More pictures would be helpful.

    Hi lovely room however I can see why you feel that wall just isn't quite working. I like the table, although I agree with other comments that it is a bit small so I would push it along the wall a little bit more (but not to the centre) and then create a montage of pictures in dark frames above and to the left of the console, which will draw your eye across the wall. I'd lose the clock - sorry! Alternatively paint the wall in a dark grey and hang a large artwork to the left of the console, it would look fab in a heavy frame that picked up the turning of the console legs. If you did this, then move your candlestick to the right of the console. Perfect!
