Large Wall Decor Suggestions
In search of art/decor ideas for large, blank living room wall. The wall is aprox: 22' wide x 12' high. The room has 2 skylights and is south facing. *See attached 2 photos
NOTE: Husband is a licensed contractor, but has Zero time right now for a wall treatment &/or the built-in tv entertainment center that we need to do. Have a feeling it'll be a while.
So...looking for WALL art/decor ideas Only at this point Please*
POINTS: *Have to work w/existing couch & rug. *Window treatments are in the works for the french doors *Currently making a wall mounted sofa table for behind longest part of the sectional for lamps, plants, etc to add some much need texture to the room. *Live in a VERY dusty area & have 3 large dogs, so art/decor that does not show dust quickly is a A+++
Hope all the info is helpful. Would love to hear any feedback &/or suggestions that fellow Houzz followers have to offer :-)
Thanks so much in advance for your time ~

PRO3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoThe position of the sectional looks off to me, but it may be how the photo distorted the angles of the ceiling. Is the middle of the sectional which is against the wall centered under the flat ceiling?
You need only hang wall decor at eye level.
Quick question; is the room large enough to turn the sectional so the chaise is running along the wall?

Split Level Vaulted/Large Wall - How do I decorate?
Comments (14)Try a tall and narrow bookcase or etagere placed in front of the outlet to balance out the height of the window. The bookcase will cut the wall into smaller segments so it makes it easier to decorate it. Then you could place art on the wall between the bookcase and window and art on the other side of the bookcase. I would keep the vertical orientation going under the peak of the wall by hanging one vertical piece or two related pictures one above the other between the window and bookcase. You can probably do a large piece or a grouping on the other section. Should be easier to deal with when it's less continuous space. I'd also use full panel drapes hung a little above the top frame to accentuate the height. Are you saying the long part of your sectional would go in front of the window? I would avoid blocking the window....See MoreHelp decorating large exposed brick wall..where to start?
Comments (5)Is the light from those windows super important? If not, I would "cheat" the windows. Hang your curtain rod high and wide (just a bit below the ceiling and almost all the way to the wall on each edge), but off centered to each window. Then hang woven blinds or a soft roman shade under the rod but on top of the window (to hide the brick). Hang panels on either side of each window and arrange them evenly. The windows will then look centered and you will have softened the wall considerably at a very low cost.

Comments (9)I love the suggestions of statement sized horizontal art. You don't need to fill the wall, just make it interesting. A suggestion for your fabulous new built-ins: if you can move those shelves around so they're at different heights. Not every shelf needs to be used. That way you can put something really tall in one of them....See MoreWant to share some ideas with me?
Comments (8)A wall shouldn't be your decorating focal point, the "people" area should get the bulk of the attention. A generously sized rug, side tables, lamps and art make a room look finished and cozy. When you are looking at furniture, keep in mind that furniture stores are large and brightly lit spaces. Think about how the furniture will look in your space. We get posts all the time from people who purchase large, dark sectionals and are disappointed because the sectional takes over the room and makes the room look dark and cramped. You and your DH need to look at some inspiration photos and decide on a style....See More- PRO3 years agolast modified: 3 years ago
You are welcome. I like several pieces for a long sofa, rather than just one.
Check out etsy.com. There are some wonderful pieces at reasonable prices. More often than not a vendor will suggest a grouping for you when you post a photo.
