Help with a kitchen wall

7 years ago
I live in a smaller home and can see this wall from my living room. I like the paint colour but not how I have decorated it.

    Hello,

    Remove everything from both of those walls.

    post a picture of the other wall so we can see what is all there.

    you have a lot of pendants going on there that are seemingly right over your head? Im a bit confused so another picture would help.

    Also reorganizing the counters will help too.

    Too many little things, it looks cluttered. Clear it all out, then load more pictures so people can have a fresh look at the space and help.

    Don't ever try to fill a wall by spacing a bunch of little stuff out on it from one end to the other. You just end up with a bunch of clutter that has no purpose and doesn't relate to anything.


    Since this is your kitchen, consider floating shelves that hold kitchen stuff.

    Frankly, that far wall probably looks better bare.

    If you really want those objects, then group them with the coffee maker:

    Maybe eliminate objects that don't make sense here...

    I like the coffee station idea with shelves posted above. It makes more sense that just random pictures.

    My favorite is just the clock.

    agree. too many little things on the wall.

    here's an idea on how to stage some of the items so that they look a little better


    remove the square picture and find something longer w/a gray or white frame.

    maybe a framed chalkboard?





    can you post a pic from another angle so we can have a better view?

    do you need extra storage for this spot or do you like everything in open view? if so, maybe an upper cab, open cubby or glass door cab?


    open shelving idea. (very easy DIY)




    how about a shelf with hanging hooks for cups?




    if you want your small items, at least organize the clutter.






    forgo all the kitschy word signs.

    I vote for blank wall or just the clock

    Take the wall down if possible. It will make the room look larger and less cut off

    km kane,,,what are you talking about?

    Thanks for the feedback. I have three more pictures and you will see I’ve already done some editing.
    It is not possible to take walls down. (There are basement stairs behind the wall and the one cabinet has a false door built over the headspace for the basement stairs).

    I think the lights distract. Can they convert to can lights? Also, liked Grover' s idea of a practical and attractive beverage station

    OK dont kill me.

    But the pendant deal, not doing you any favors here, and one is missing glass. They are in a bad location and you would be served better with either a directional light to highlight the new set up or a flush mount and let the walls do the talking.

    It looks much better, but the little tiny coaster like things are too small. I would put a long shelf on the inside wall with hooks under for coffee mugs and put all your momentous on that

    The clock looks much better where you have it now.

    Notice the grouping of like items on the pictures posted above, thats what you need. Right now it's kinda like "the cheese stands alone" if you will.

    Don't hang little stuff by itself on a big wall. Group things so they read as a larger element.

    Definitely looks better already. The coffee station ideas are practical and you’ve been given a lot of ideas. The wood floating shelves from groveraxle look like they would complement your kitchen.

    Definitely will replace lights, and put floating shelves . Sometimes it just takes another eye to figure out things. Thank you all
