My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help with Large Plain Walls!

5 years ago

Looking for advice and ideas on how to best decorate the huge walls in our living room.


We’ve mocked up thin brick walls on either sides but between the cost and whether it looks “too

fake”, we have not yet made any decisions on what to do.


Please share some ideas! Excuse the mess after a weekend of quarantine.

    Measure twice, buy once! Look at local artists and art galleries. Take your time and get pieces you love. About the lighting: lighting is crucial for atmosphere and is often overlooked as an important design tool. Table lamp or wall sconce in each corner at chest height is best. For the high ceilings, check out these ideas: https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/lighting-for-high-ceilings-in-living-room/nqrwns
