Home Decorating dining room

What should I put on these two far walls, if anything?

last year

I love my oyster plate display in the center. Would it be too much to hang gilded gold pedestal shelves to display some french jars I have? Or was thinking an old clock would look pretty too on the left side and nothing on right.

Thanks for any and all ideas!

Would be too busy.

it might be better to go with couple light curtain panels on window and existing wall décor on the left and right walls. Light curtains would bring more light in dark room.

Thank you so much Celery!! I'm trying to avoid moving those items and putting more holes in my grass cloth. Also, the way the house is set up, the pieces of art would be seen more on the existing walls. The way you've visualized does look more pulled together though.. Food for thought...

Ok no worries! I usually use swatchpop and they just give you any ideas that you suggest. So here goes. I’m changing it up for summer. More color. I saw this on property brothers and I love it. Some of the pillows are from Target, especially the one I needed to pull this together. But unfortunately the color block is sold out! Help. I’m stuck for pillows! Here’s the idea and here’s what I got. I planned on using orange lamps because I don’t have the curtains. And can’t hang any in my living room anyway. Thanks for your help your awesome! The pink pillow is one I love that matches my flower arrangement. So if I get pink pillow, orange lamps, what do you think of this other pillow? Orange or blue? Hold on won’t let me post more pics....

Working full time with 3 little ones tends to prolong my projects. we built the faux sofa table and found some art and lamps. I got throw pillows for the couch (The covers haven’t arrived yet for 3 of them). Do you guys think all 4 feather pictures are too crowded between the lamps or will those look ok? I was considering blowing up some pics of my kids for the other wall If i can find other art that coordinates. Because the two walls are perpendicular to each other, does the art need to be a similar size on the other wall? Thank you!

Which width of the mirror for this 72"vanity? Should I put one or two?

I much, much prefer one large mirror. I love Sabrina's example--one large mirror framed with wood. Bathrooms, most of them, are small spaces with a lot of different elements. One mirror is one element, two mirrors is more. And one large mirror works better to amplify the, usually small, space. Two mirrors chops it up.

The space is so cavernous that sconces will look lost. I would remove everything and just have one gigantic urn in a corner with a very large tree in it.

I like it as is, too, lovely room. Very charming and full of character.

I’ve actually been looking for vintage oyster plates — I was inspired by this:

I like how you have yours displayed, and love the stained glass in the window!

What does your old clock look like? Can you show the other side of the room?
