Wall design help!

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Looking for help on figuring out what to do with a large wall. Right now i have a large painting over the console table and am planning to switch it for six images in white frames but they will still be about the same width as pictured. does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with all the empty wall space on the left? I am told I should just leave it as is but it seems like a lot to just leave blank. Also, please excuse all the christmas decor on the console table, basically everything in the middle of the top part of the table is only there for the month of december. I know its cluttered but I don’t mind that at christmas time!

    Leave it blank.  Your eyes need a place to rest at times, not every inch of wall space needs to be covered.

    There is already too much clutter. : ) Santas, owl, candles, what else? : ) I'd give you a great image, can't find one. All too junked up

    looks like there's a radiator to the left, so there's not much you can do even if you want to. maybe an umbrella stand, if that's your front door...

    otherwise, you could maybe give that chair a medium-height floor lamp.l


    framing the art would make it feel a bit more finished too.

    Can you step back and take a picture of the whole wall? The table is smaller than the art, which is why it doesn’t look right. And the blue chair is way too close to the table, and just looks out of place.

    White matte, black frame would be much better. or dark wood. i would remove that blue chair.

    I would place nothing on the wall to the right of your console. In addition to having the radiator there, it appears that you have a door on the wall to the left with hinges that will permit the door to swing against that wall. You would want NOTHING there that would obstruct the door’s swing.

    You can not do anything on left side cos door opening.

    theres actually quite a bit of wall space left that isnt impacted by the door opening. basically where the radiator ends is where the door stops so all the space above the blue chair would not be impacted. it just feels awkward to my eye and i was thinking maybe filling out some of the space would help but it sounds like framing the painting or doing 6 images above the console would help make it look more complete. Ive also toyed with the idea of shelves above the table or scrapping the console table all together and doing a love seat! we just moved in not too long ago and are trying to figure out the best way to utilize the space. Thanks to all for your input!

    You need a larger console table and there is plenty of space for it if you lose the blue chair. It’s to the art, it’s the scale of the art wrt the table.

    You can't put a Loveseat" at a door entry. on that wall. NO.

    You are showing ONE wall. Show the entire space, draw it and measure each and every wall. Show the entire room.

    Would you consider a larger console? That looks a little bit small for the area. You can find great pieces on Facebook marketplace if money is a concern. That would help balance the space.

    I still stand by removing the blue chair, you could swap it to where the guitar is, and hang the guitar on the wall.

    I just realized the TV should be over the console and the art should be over the fireplace. I am telling you now that would solve everything .
