Dining Room Wall - Feeling bare, help! Also light fixtures need help!

12 years ago
Hi there,

I want to replace the circular peice on the wall which is way too small for this wall with something with a pop of color to brighten up an otherwise drab area. I would also like to replace the light fixtures in this room. Anyone have ideas of peices of art or fixtures I may want to consider?

Thanks!! Leah

    Large scaled art for the wall. Bring in a color from another area, and use it again on tabletop. Good luck!

    Here is an idea with large mirror and a more 'glamorous' light fixture.

    You might want to consider a rug as well. It would warm up the space

    A large Picture of country hills may look good.

    Off topic but where is that 3-dimensional tree art from? Where can it be purchased?

    @sarabeth 2, not sure where she bought the tree, but if you look for Votive Tree Wall Decor, you'll find a number of them

    Why don't you find a panoramic picture of something you absolutely love that has lots of color, and hang it there? It could be an picture of your favorite place such as a beautiful lake, the ocean, mountains or whereever you love to go.

    Nice start with your room. I agree a rug. And I have seen dozens of dilemmas like this where people need art. Even inexpensive museum posters can provide a way to get some color fast.

    You might want to conside single pendant instead to get focus. Checkout some of the lighting pendants at: http://www.ylighting.com/roll-and-hill-bluff-city-14inch-pendant.html

    As far as wall art, Parvej Taj is very good artist that does affordable art on recycled materials. http://www.wayfair.com/Parvez-Taj-Wall-Art-C548605.html

    This is a good problem to have! You have an open space that needs something special. You have plenty of room and the tone of the room is neutral enough to be friendly to many different things. I have two suggestions. First is a large-scale oil painting. There are places, not in America unfortunately, but in Europe, where oil painting is as important as it was two hundred years ago. We carry many of these pieces, which look as if done by masters. I'm attaching one for you to consider. Also, I've been seeing planters that hang like paintings. These are really interesting and great looking. They are good for conversation pieces, they clean the air in the room and they just look fantastic. I'll attach an image of one of these as well. Good luck!

    What about a long, floating shelf? (Could serve as a narrow buffet.)
    Above, hang the art, (as suggested by Marc Russell Interiors).
    The shelf accessories can carry the color theme to your table. (Wine glasses, vases, fresh flowers, etc.) Happy Decorating.

    I would find a dresser/buffet and then get two lamps and artwork to fill the space.

    Some of Peter Colbert's tree prints might be pretty. You can also change artwork and accessories with the season which is much more interesting than having a stagnant room year 'round.

    What great suggestions. Thank you everyone! For the individual who asked about the 3 dimensional tree art (sarabeth2), it was from Z Gallerie but we got it about 4-5 years ago.

    Love the light fixtures which would look much more coherent without all the tall candles. Suggest moving them to another location.

    Definitely art. Some great suggestions above. However. . . .

    How about something more dramatic, a statement piece.

    I like Dytecture's idea with the large mirror and glam chandelier! Statement chandeliers can really help transform your room and pull the whole look together. Here are a few ideas...
