Furniture Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Tiny Windows on Giant wall- How do we make this wall not awful?

5 years ago

We recently bought this house with 2 tiny windows on the main wall of the living room. Our thought is they probably had an option of built ins and a fireplace. We eventually will have the money to put in a fireplace and/or built ins, but right now what can we do to make this wall suck less?

Should we put two dresser or shelves under the windows and mount a TV in the middle? No TV at all and find a longer piece that spans the whole wall? Put a couch on the wall???

is it possible to move the tv to another wall? I think placing the couch on that wall with large art behind would help

Try the sectional along the back wall with the small windows, and the tv/console on the wall directly across from the large window. Post some photos of the room from other angles.

Consider something on this idea….find two larger bookcases, in the same stain as the t v console. If the book cases are higher than the t v…that’s fine.
