Help Create Balance on Wall

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hello everyone! I have a dilemma. My wall is looking kinda out of balance. On one side I have a breakfast nook that looks really nice and the other side it’s just plain. I don’t know if I should just put paintings or if there’s any suggestions on what to put on it to seal the look. I appreciate any feedback you guys can give me, I am open to all advice!!! Thank you!!

    Great color on that wall.

    Not loving the shelves, especially over where you're sitting. Is the stripe seating a bench mounted on the wall? I would rather see couple of tulip chairs.

    Is there another spot for the bar? The chandelier seems a bit small. Maybe if it were lowered a few more inches it would look better.

    What is the beige rectangle high on the wall with the black line under it?

    thanks for your help :) ive also been looking for abother spot for the bar as it looked weird there. the bench is not mounted!

    Too many small items and too many items around the dining nook. I would get rid of the mirror and the shelves-let the chandelier be the focal point in the corner. Hang some art in the center of the wall-one larger piece or create a gallery with what you have and then move the taller acrylic piece closer to the door fan put some greenery on it. If you can recover the striped bench with something that coordinates with the pillows on the sofa, or is less of a contrast with the wall color it will make that table area a bit less intrusive.

    I think you just need to center your items on the entire wall, not just as they pertain to the dining nook. Put the mirror in the center of the entire wall, with the shelves on one side and either one painting or a grouping of paintings on the other.

    Hey Andrea!

    The breakfast corner looks amazing! I love those chairs. ATM they aren't matching with the aesthetic of the room, but I assume it is because I am not looking at the room in its entirety.

    The shelves in that corner are out of place, The large artwork would look good in the corner.

    You could have the shelves stacked in line vertically or horizontally on the other end. A faux fur covering on the bench would look nice!

    Leave out the mirror, the large frame with a few small ones will look great!

    I love this idea Maureen. For now, I moved the bar cart and hanged them pictures. I will order a console And a painting similar to the one you found on Etsy. Is it possible to have the link?

    I moved my monstera too :)

    Much better! I didn't see you ghost chairs earlier. They are neat!

    Looks better and you may not need a console (to save money) - try cart centered between pictures and place lamp on left side. I‘d place small tray table and plant elsewhere, as less is better.

    Your mirror now feels balanced, but you asked for link to the art. I tried to find the actual piece but with no luck; perhaps you can.

    Where is your TV ? Show the whole space not just that wall. Take all the little stuff off including the shelves . Then take a picture I would never choose art for a client but I need to see the whole space

    Too much little stuff which makes things look clutter-y, IMO.

    Your original picture gives the impression that you are trying to decorate the walls of the dining nook and the living area as two separate rooms. They’re not. It is one big open room. Decorate the walls as one room.

    And don’t buy art just because it matches the color scheme. Work with what you have first and then buy art that you like, not art that matches your decor.
