Wall Shelving Layout

7 years ago

First time using Planner5D, so please bear with my drawing, but this is what my space looks like minus lighting and color of furniture in dining room. This is a combo dining/living room space (11x25). There is 3’5” currently separating the two rooms (opening is show on wall dimensions).

We currently have a 55” tv, and I believe the viewing distance from the tv is 10’5”. I was contemplating going up in size but wasn’t sure if I could dimension wise.

I’m wanting to get rid our our tv console and instead mount the tv, and put floating shelves around it to store our game consoles and DVR, among other things like accents and small storage. What kind of wall layout would you recommend given my space?

A TV console does more than provide a place for the TV to rest or storage. Most importantly it grounds the TV. If you lose it and go for shelving, you need to put one under the TV for that at least. Without seeing any inspiration picture or the items you plan on displaying, the idea doesn't sound great to me. Smaller items like you described tend to clutter not decorate a space.

I have a couple of photos that I keep circulating to for small pieces of inspiration. I think it’s just having a box of stuff just sitting in the garage of things like vases, picture frames of various sizes, and cute little baskets not being put to use. I get what you’re saying about making sure that I have purposes for what I want to add to a space. I just feel like there’s so much bareness to the walls. My husband sent me this picture of a floating unit he liked, but with the hutch in the dining room being tall, I just thought it might be a little too much. What do you think of these? Could anything be integrated into it?

I would keep the cabinet to hold the less attractive items like gaming consoles and cable boxes. Add floating shelves for your decorative items if you would like to display some of them. For inspiration, check the following images.
