How did you decorate your large kitchen wall spaces? (pics)
Comments (1)I don't have pics, but a girlfriend of mine has a similar wall layout. She has a tall plant/tree grouping at the tallest corner (hers is wood so slightly different aesthetic). One of her walls continues straight from the corner, and the other tapers. On the tapering wall she has a shelf mural holding pieces from her cremaware collectionwhite china collection (think Potterybarn-esque, like this. The straight wall holds artwork her son painted for her - kitchen herbs planted in white china tureens - with a few more pieces of the china scattered. Opposite she has a "Something's Gotta Give" cream beadboard display with white china. It's not my taste at all, but it looks very pleasant in her space. I'll see her this weekend, but no promises that I will remember my camera. :)...See MoreHow to decorate mantle that has an extremely large painting above it ?
Comments (24)I would definitely hang it higher, and it does look good framed. Either way, get rid of the floor vase. Is it possible to move that brown furniture on the left away from the fireplace? The fireplace needs breathing room, as much as possible, if you can't move it. Moving the picture up is the most important consideration. The mantel does not need any other decoration....See MoreDecorating wall/large ledge of fireplace
Comments (3)I probably wouldn't put anything on the ledge area, just because it's so symmetrical and you would need to have something else to balance the other side if you put anything up there. If it were mine, I'd probably try to find the perfect size and shape art, something like this, to hang above the firebox and ignore the rest of the area above.Or maybe one long piece...a picture or a hanging sculpture, with curves! Probably not fish, but just for a visual:...See MoreHow to decorate huge fireplace rock wall
Comments (1)I would not put the TV above the fireplace. The fireplace is small and I think the TV will dwarf it. I do think that the mantel should be lowered or maybe removed. It looks way too high, like it was a later add-on by someone without a good eye for proportion and scale. If it makes sense for your TV to be on that side of the room, I don't see a problem putting it to the left of the fireplace. It's hard to judge whether that is optimal without seeing more of the room. Your furniture seems awkwardly placed, especially the sofa. If you post more pictures and ideally a floor plan with dimensions, you will get some good suggestions on furniture layouts. I would think that the sofa would work better floated in the room rather than pushed up against the wall....See Morearcy_gw
