Open concept - Empty wall

10 years ago

Any advice on what I could use, or if I should do anything to fill up this wall? Runs from my living to dining. Also dining area feels bare. Anything to fill it up or make it more cozy?

I agree that replacing the mirror with art will add some life to your dining space. An area rug could be nice as well. An open back bookcase with some visual interest would divide the spaces nicely without seeming to be to heavy. This one is white but I'm sure you could find something in a wood tone. Hope this helps!

What is hanging on the wall by the dining table? A mirror? TV? It's hard to tell because of the glare, sorry. If it's a mirror replace it with art. Not many people want to watch themselves eat!

A tall bookcase between the two rooms in a stain shade to match the table would work but edit it carefully, you don't want to crowd the shelves.

I would add a sofa table against the wall and a piece of art above it

Yes, art will add to your room where as a mirror just looks cold and uninteresting.

A large plant--tall like a palm could work on the wall.

You need to be careful about just adding a piece of furniture on that wall. It could look like you're just filling space.

Your picture is too dark. Can you include more of the living room area?
