I think we need to see the room from different angles to properly advise.

I would not put anything on that wall. You could put artwork or some shelves on that wall and it would be centred and above the light switches. If you add some nice colourful drapery panels to the windows that will cover the light switches. Maybe that is all the room needs. Not sure, since this is the only part of the room we see.

Thank you, i will see if i can take more photos Funny you mentioned drapery panels- we had those there originally but then my mom wanted powered layered shades so we took them down and had motorized shades installed

Now we have this blank wall that is the first thing you see as you enter through the foyer But with the swiches there we just arent sure about placement

I have no idea without seeing the room from much further back.

I would put a round mirror there with a beautiful frame. You could add a nice tall faux plant in front of the light switch so that it isn't visible.

@Lorraine Leroux

i like the idea of shelves What if we did staggered floating shelves, above and below the light swich?

Thank you, Cara, i like that idea of a nice framed mirror paired with a faux plant .. you are all giving me some great ideas!

Would suggest artwork above the gang switch.

I wouldn't put shelves there, Bumping hazard. Also don't think I would want to look in a mirror every time I went in those rooms. I would do a flat metal sculptural piece: hang it just above the light switches and no higher than the top of the window about 33" wide

I like @jck910 suggestion the best. I totally agree that any shelving - no matter how narrow - that sticks out from that wall is an accident waiting to happen. It’s in a traffic path. I also think a mirror which would reflect only the person walking towards it would be odd. Either a sculptural piece or - a canvas art with depth. It looks like you have at least 2 sculptural pieces hanging in the long hallway so my choice would be canvas art. I’d pick something that feels like you’re walking into the piece if you get what I mean. This piece would mostly be viewed when walking towards this room. That piece over the console table in the hallway might work - something like that.

Thanks everyone, this is some great advice

Thanks everyone! i like the idea of something scuptural or canvas art with depth i agree with you regarding the shelves That is a pathway and that would be a hazard So if i did sculptural or canvas art, i would just place it above the light switch?

i also like the vertical grouping that ilikefriday did as well but does it look strange to extend beyond the height of the patio doors?

I have a similar wall in my home with light switches in the way. This is how I decided to handle it. I don't think the patio doors make a difference. I just would not put art at the same level. Make it extend higher or lower.

Evelyn, it takes awhile to find just the right piece of art that you enjoy looking at. In the meantime, I suggest taping up paper mockups of the size(s) that you think might work to help you know size to look for. I also think a point to consider is that multiple pieces hung will make for a more dramatic & attention getting wall - is that what you want? A single piece will add detail that should add to the rest of your art in the space. I do like what ilike friday shows you but note that she has art as an integral part of her space. She is an artist so that makes absolute sense & reflects her amazing talent & personality. She has a gallery setting. Just points to consider,

@KW PNW so you think that having the three framed pieces (one below switch and two above) would be too dramatic? Even if the pieces are casual?

Mural wallpaper. Switches? What switches?

@Paul F has the best idea. That looks fab!

@kW thanks for the compliment. You give me more credit than I deserve!

I think the subject of the art, colors, and the size will all determine how dramatic it is.

Evelyn, I didn’t mean the stacked art on wall would be too dramatic - just giving another point to consider. None of the suggestions offered here have been given with the perspective of what the other 3 walls in that space look like - we see only that wall & a bit beyond. Some very creative suggestions posted here & sometimes that brainstorming sparks other ideas not yet presented. What’s most important is what you think of the ideas! Have fun with it.

ilikefriday’s idea of stacking art vertically is a nice way to use that wall. You have such a calm space, I think the mock-up below would look great with black and white photos.
