Help Complete This Dining Room

5 years ago

I have a wall in my dining room that I'm not sure how to decorate. I already have a large piece of artwork on one wall and a large wall mirror in the walkway that is open to the dining room.
I am considering a slim console table on the wall opposite the existing artwork. Considering placing some art above the console, not a mirror since I already have one in the walkway. I'm not sure if I actually have room for a console or if that will even look good.
I'm open to all ideas for the blank wall.
Though, I am not looking to move the existing artwork or mirror.
My room is 11 3/4' x 13', and I taped up a console that is 10" deep. That leaves me with 27" between the chair and console. Is that too little? It will be an even smaller space once someone sits in the chair.
Also, if a console is the way to go, what length should it be? My wall is 101" on that side, not including the cut out. I taped up a 60" table. Is that too short?
I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas. I'm stumped and don't know what to do.

As I said on your other post, no need for anything else in the room.

Hi Judy, I am asking about a blank wall in that room. It's completely bare.

Jan, thank you. Given the tight space I have, is it better to do one large piece of artwork or a console with a smaller piece of artwork above?

WILL LEAVE MORE ROOM FOR ART ABOVE

Put this on the other side with three of something.

Put the large art piece,,,alone on the opposite side with the cut out

then do a threesome of something on that other wall. And move bar cart to left : )

The WALL BLANK OF ART.....IS BUGGING ,,,, right?

Beautiful room.

Some I think would be sophisticated, striking and elegant (like your room):

Horchow

Horchow 2

Horchow 3

Horchow 4

Horchow 5

With this being more for accent than storage or use, I do not think it has to necessarily be very long. I would have one piece of art above, and a bowl or other decor on top, but otherwise keep it simple and graceful.

I like where your big art is — focal wall and reflected in the mirror.

Thank you Jan! The artwork I have up is 72". Will that be ok for the opposite wall which is 101"? If I place the long console on the right side, the artwork above will probably be 60" total, is that too narrow for the width of the wall (155")?
