Need help or advice on decorating/filling empty space in the bathroom
Comments (12)Oh. Like magic. :o) For sanitary reasons, I’m not sure what you could put there. How about a couple of floating shelves on the wall up above? If you don’t need the storage/display space, I still think just an art print would do it. It is a bit of an awkward spot but its location right next to the toilet kind of gives it an ick factor. Sorry I’m not more help....See MoreNeed help filling empty wall space around TV etc!
Comments (23)Well, I was going to suggest the ubiquitous fiddle leaf fern, but looks like you have a cat, and they are toxic to cats. You might Google plants that are non-toxic to cats and see if anything grabs your interest. I think some palms may be ok with cats (and they can grow fairly large), or you might look for a contemporary plant stand and just sit a smaller plant on it -- maybe a giant tropical bromeliad or something along those lines. That said, if your cat is prone to pester plants, it's probably not a good idea to include one in your décor. (Definitely don't put a fake plant in this pretty space.)...See MoreEmpty Living Room in Historic Home Needs Help!

Comments (9)There are several things you could do, but a set of two or three prints running horizontally above the sectional would be nice to add some color to the space. Add some pillows to the sectional to pull in some color. Place some accessories on the console. I'd like to see the plant get moved onto the console on the left side to add balance since the tv doesn't appear to be centered over the console. Then add a larger plant by the sliding door. I like your idea of adding some storage in the space between sofa and kitchen. I would make it tall like Ikea's Billy Bookcases or one of their tall Pax storage units. How's your lighting? Doesn't look like there is a lot of room for a floor lamp or table next to the sectional, but you could do wall sconces behind the sectional on either side of the prints. Keep the total span of it around 2/3's the length of the sectional. Add a couple of chairs out on your patio with some pillows, a plant and a throw to help pull that eye out and make the space feel larger. It's a lovely apartment and you've got a great foundation to work with....See MoreAndie B
