Feature wall ideas?

13 years ago

Any ideas here in what I can do with this wall? My thoughts were to add texture and colour by using a paintable wallpaper.
What do people think..wallpaper or paint the wall, any colour suggestions?
This little project is on a small budget :-)

I see what looks like a wine rack to the left of the fireplace...So... I think I would build a wine rack on the left side floor to mantel height to the left wall. A bookshelf with the same specs to the right. Have a mantel run across the entire top. I then would mirror the whole top half.

A larger mirror and an accent wall color would be ideal.

I really Love all of your ideas! That would probably be a costly project for us and therefore would be something for a little later down the track. Anything else you can suggest in the interim?

We could definitely assist with a wine rack on that left wall and it wouldn't have to break the bank. We have some smaller wine racks that are under $200 and our oak wine racks are actually 20% off right now.

No texture on the walls. Do a color with richness like a robin egg blue. You need the show up the nice wood you have. A large round mirror no wider than the mantle but karger than the one you have. The venician style. HomeGoods is great for mirrors. Add a bit of glamour like the chandelier you have. Good luck.

Hi! Here is an idea! How about using removable wall paper? It's called tempaper. Here are a few options I found for you: (I chose ones with black)
