What do you do with this massive two story wall?
Comments (22)You have a solution to two problems right at your fingertips. Well, three actually. Your problems are: 1) there is a large empty wall to fill, causing the room to be unbalanced 2) your very large tv is hung too high 3) you don't have spare funds for decor The answer to all these problems is MOVE THE TV. Just buckle down and do it. I'm struggling to understand why you are so resistant to this idea. Put your sofa facing that wall, perpendicular to the fireplace. As funds allow, add a sofa facing the fire. Hang the tv on the wall (Low. Low.) across from the sofa. Put a door on each side of it and as funds allow, a long white tufted bench under it to bridge the gap between the doors. You could also use a long console. White. The idea is to make the two doors and whatever goes under the tv function as one unit, like a built-in cabinet. That should solve all your problems: 1) It will fill the wall 2) the tv will be at a safe viewing height 3) you haven't spent money you don't have ETA: if you do this, hang the doors and tv so the tops of all are level with each other....See MoreHelp decorating two-story wall

Comments (11)@jck910....some grest suggestions there....thank you! @Sammy....actually, we have noticed an increase in the brightness of the room even with the new windows. Getting rid of the transoms and the 1/4 round windows made the room a lot lighter. I do think an additional window will make a difference as well. Now, it will not bring in any direct sunlight as a skylight would, but I’m not a big fan of skylights so hadn’t even thought of that. I will definitely run that by them....See MoreTwo story bare wall
Comments (2)Two story walls — decorate as if it was one story. Big piece of art ... let the piano be the focal point and just enhance it. You have lots and lots of square shapes nearby, keep this wall simple and calm....See Morerutabaga4
