Desperately need help with blank walls please!

2 years ago

In the process of decorating a small family room. Please try to ignore the baby equipment, covers on seat cushion to protect them and the dog bed! Rug is being replaced with a new larger one.- attaching picture. The TV stand is new. and was just put in the room. Planning on putting a floor plant in the corner next to the stand. Looking for any and all suggestions on what to put on the walls!! What would you do with the wall next to the wall where the TV is?? Any ideas on what to put on large wall behind sectional?? Small wall between the two windows? Photos or link to suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!

    Two pieces of coordination art. a big one on the big wall and a smaller one between the windows. Since it is the family room, it can be whimsical. What do the kids like? Horses? Fairies? Dragons?

    I suggest a large canvas for over the sofa with gemstone colors such as plum, cranberry, sapphire blue and possibly a round mirror. You could also hang a rug on the wall.

    So you have a little one and you're going to spend $$$$ money on a wool rug that will be destroyed by juice boxes etc? IMO that's not the place to spend your money. Any of these machine-washable rugs would look great in your space and are 1/3 the cost of the rug you are considering.


    I tried to find a way to insert your selection into the room, but could not. Here's a MWR that is similar in lightness to your selection.


    This rug below has a light background but picks up the color of your sectional

    This rug will look good between washings


    This rug adds another color to the room.

    This selection also adds a subtle color to the room.

    @Beverly. Thank you for taking the time for the different rug suggestions but I actually got a fantastic deal on the rug at Home Goods for $270.

    @Beverly - would love any suggestions you have for the walls, especially the large wall behind the sectional.

    That is a great price - it still would worry me to use it in your living room. Also, it seems like adding some color would work better with your gray sectional.

    I know that you asked about art for your walls - but you really need a longer (+ lower) console for your TV - then you need to hang your TV on the wall.

    I think adding drapes (as suggested above) is a great idea!

    amhers104, Art is very personal. Or should be. You don't want your room to look like a Home Goods display.

    As far as size, look for something that is about 3/4 the length of the sofa. There is lots of info online about picking the correct size and hanging at the proper height (most people go too high).

    Do you want color or something neutral?

    Do you want something textured and abstract or something realistic?

    Are you interested in a landscape - beach, desert, pond, field?

    Are you interested in something fun or whimsical - a cow with a flower crown?

    Go to Target, Home Goods, At Home, etc, and look around and find out what styles and subjects make you happy. Or look online, there are lots of great art sites.

    Get some blank large canvases and put the kids to work making art for the walls.

    It looks like a tall plant might work next to the new TV console, look at adding some C-tables since you don't have a coffee table, then look at adding some artwork above the one side of the sectional, and perhaps an arc lamp in the corner behind the sectional.

    It looks like you might want to try a rug with a little more grey in it. You could do a textured rug if you need more texture. Then look at adding some artwork behind the sectional, some small side tables, and perhaps a floor lamp. Here are some ideas for you from various designs of ours. Please take note of the furniture, rugs, and artwork.
