What should I do with this nook?

5 years ago

Hello! I need to do something for this empty spot in my living room. Was thinking of some sort of ottoma with pillow and fig tree in the corner. Perhaps some pictures or other decor on the wall. I don’t want to hang shelves so that’s not an option.

    This is the rest of the space.

    It looks to be more of a corner than actual "nook" to me. I'd leave it empty. The eye needs a place to rest, and when you fill up the empty corners, a space becomes visually cluttered. Empty = good.

    Ptreckel what other colors do you suggest? I like to keep my space light and airy.

    Yes....move table over..bigger art and maybe 2 buffet lamps.

    And maybe pillows with a little more color...overall very nice room.

    I think just a large piece of art. I do agree with Ocotillo. Even space doesn’t have to have something.

    You have a hint of blue in the pillows on your sectional. Explore others in blue with a more visible pattern to them, contrast. If you decide to do so, you might consider placing a live plant in the area with the window. And then ease into adding some green into your pattern selection. Your room will still be light and airy if you add pattern and subtle color. Texture, too. Check Dekowe (online) as a source for reasonably priced, beautiful pillows in interesting patterns and colors.

    I think you need a bigger console and longer but in a lighter wood tone (one shade darker than your floors). The console you have now is wimpy looking with the large sectional and is out of scale. If you get a bigger console then get a large sculptural art piece on it and a lamp.

    Might have to say I'm confused about what the metal-legged table is in the photo, far right?

    Mention of blue pillows and I saw this for above console.. just idea. Instead of table lamp, would a floor lamp work?

    Inspired by the pineapple symbol of hospitality, the faceted crystal detail on this beautiful floor lamp takes a modern twist on the ubiquitous shape. Perfectly paired with a crystal chandelier or flush mount for an opulent look, or standing in contrast with a contemporary interior, its versatility makes it a flexible addition to any interior. We love the way the light refracts through the crystal detail and the staggered square base, which features layers of both crystal and metal to ensure a sturdy foundation.

    Brass' warm tone could contrast against cool wall color. Is that bronze candle holder?

    Nice to have inviting lamplight in a person's front window. Idea to place one on a low-ish table, by the chair.

    I would do a nice plant in corner. Plants just warm everything up and brings life to the space.

    I would look for a larger console and accessorize with less/more substantial accessories; including large art and a lamp. This will create interest and balance in that entire area and you won’t need anything on the short wall.
