Empty wall/floor space - any ideas??

New house - open concept. There is an empty wall space between the tall window in the living area and the patio door in the dining area. The flooring changes between the two areas as well - carpet in living area, wood floor in dining area. Can you have a piece of furniture overlapping two types of floor? And even then, not sure what I would put there? But I definitely need ideas on what to do with the empty wall space. I also thought about a tall plant? Open to any ideas! Thanks!

Comments (1)To help you, we need more information. People who post photos of the space (from all angles) and a drawing of the room with measurements of each wall and location of closets, doors, and windows get the best response.

Comments (8)(not a pro) What is on the other side of that blank wall? Is that a pool outside, and does the patio extend behind that blank wall? Do you have an outdoor kitchen / entertaining area? IMO this is very subjective to you, what you seek in your home, and if you plan to entertain outside. Lots of great art to show off? Yearn for a creative expression in your home? Make it a spot for a huge piece of art, and plan for some lighting to show it off. Love to entertain? Planning to host outdoor pool/patio parties? If so, it would be nice to have a beverage center with a pass through, sliding window above. Hand me my blender drink! Seeking peace and solitude? Are you a reader? Maybe a coffee and wine center flanked by bookshelves, or a window with a cozy window seat for reading; space for books below or as a small separation from the kitchen cabinets....See MoreBathroom empty space ideas
Comments (32)I like to create a whole home color palette and use the darker or brighter or more dramatic versions of the colors on bathroom or laundry room walls, but I wouldn't want a random bright or dark color. Using the accent color from your master bedroom on the walls of the master bath is a great way to tie the rooms together and add drama to the bath....See More
