Empty wall ideas

2 months ago

Hi,
I need ideas on what to put on a shared dining-living room wall in an open concept floor plan. The wall is directly across from a large bay window. The style of the home is transitional. Any thoughts?

    Several large pieces of art.

    Long console/sideboard with art over it.

    You will probably get more specific feedback if you add photos of each of the 4 walls taken straight on. A floor plan with measurements would be a bonus. :)

    A nice console with some greenery would breathe some life! A nice simplistic vase for the greenery and maybe a painted landscape with a dark frame or a mirror for the wall. Good noise.

    Art for both spaces.

    Any interest in wallpaper on just that wall? Could be stunning

    Does the bay window fill the wall or is their furniture on the window wall?

    That space will be perfect for artwork.

    Thank you all for the great ideas. The bay window fills the wall. I have a large mirror that I purchased a few years ago, but never hung. Not sure if it’s too outdated now. Thoughts?

    If you like it, who cares if it is trending or not. As you see from @Design Interior South , scale really matters. You don't want just a piece of art floating in the middle of no where. A console beneath it will really anchor the mirror, or whatever else you place there.

    Good point, thanks Kendrah!

    Nothing more glaring than below: ) DIS does great renderings.



    I would note, it is FINE to love an accent color, (teal in this case) b.ut beware too much of it, or as any other, as it will morph from accent to dominance and overload, especially when a saturated solid color with no pattern or texture. Look at the fine point details above and the differences between them. Must you have both sconces AND table lamps? No, biut those adds, and take away's are a tutorial : )

    If you "loved" the mirror, you'd have hung it before three years passed by? I don't love it, and has nothing to do with dated.

    Ask yourself if you need some storage in this spot, SHOW all angles of this room, and beyond this room.

    Your wall is one element in an open space, and nothing, including this wall, lives in isolation.

    How long is the wall from light switch to opposite end? There are millions of ways to get impact, with scale and proportions considered

    I could see a mural on that wall. Maybe a river scene with a weeping willow tree. I like all the other suggestions as well.

    I think your mirror is beautiful and would look great above a console or buffet, if you have room on that wall for one.

    A glass console is a nice option for a transitional space too.

    I vote for art.....and no horizontal surfaces.

    Thanks for all of the additional ideas!

    Another option is to do a muted wall mural with just the mirror and sconces.
