What to do with Blank Wall Space in Living Room+Hiding Breaker Panel?
Comments (18)To everyone who commented: Thank you!! Lots of ideas and things to consider here. Rearranging the furniture is something I haven't given much thought to. I did what I did because I like my sofa to be close to the tv (well, I'm nearsighted), and coming from a studio apartment, that's how it was previously - everything close together. So it's hard to change. Yes, I should eventually get a new tv stand. The tv is actually safe on the stand, as the tv legs are less wide than the stand itself and the stand is pure wood, so its construction is quite good. It's a relic of the tube tv days, but it worked for the new tv when I bought it a couple of years ago, so I didn't bother changing it. As to the stuff I have all around (especially in the corner) - those are things I want on display. They are model buses from England, many in their own display case. Eventually, I want to get a curio cabinet as I have a much larger collection not yet on display. As for the curtains, I chose that color because it matched the color of the wood floor and the wood furniture. But I may have to re-evaluate that also. I agree about having the curtain rod pulled out on top. However, if you look at the photo of the left side of the window, there's no space to install a curtain rod just to the left top of the window, as the original window frame and the corner of the wall are extremely close. If there's a solution to that, please post!! And thanks for the guide to hanging pictures...I will definitely be taking this info into consideration...I also have my bedroom to work on!! Thanks again!...See MoreWhat to do with blank wall space?
Comments (15)Are you saying the sofa extends across part of the doorway? If so, I woulds uggest you move the sofa to a solid wall wide or long enough to provide a backdrop for the sofa and place a smaller or narrower piece of surniture against the narrow wall. I believe the colorful artwork looks wonderful, and it seems to be the correct scale for the sofa....See MoreWhat do you do with a big blank wall?
Comments (78)The elephant in the room is a table shape & size that just doesn't work. You need something smaller, or square or round. I really dislike those signs that are so popular now...unless they're authentic, vintage AND suit the demeanor of the room. Your "bakery" sign is long & narrow & pushed off to the side of the wall. It looks awkward there & should be hung on a smaller wall. Is that your kitchen with the "antiques" sign over the bulkhead? I think that sign might look good on dining area wall. Remove that foliage from the light fixture. No tablecloth....See MoreHELP! huge blank wall and don’t know what to do with it!
Comments (13)IMO a wall with the TV some storage and a bit of display with Besta from Ikea . I do not like gallery walls usually at all and for sure not on a TV wall. I aslo think a better piece of art for the other wall the bridge on the pillow is great if you love the picture of the same bridge not so muchThis is just one way to put pieces together...See Morethreebyfivebt
