Blank Wall Help!
Hello! I have a large blank wall in my family room (pictured below) that I am looking to fill with a chest of drawers, as I need more storage in my home. I have found two lovely chests, but am unsure which (if either) will work better with my home dimensions. The wall is 8.5ft long, and my home has 8ft ceilings. The first antique Hepplewhite chest is 42”w x 43”h. I love this one, but am concerned it will be too tall to style with a lamp in this space. The second chest is 44”w x 35”h. Need advice on if either will look good in my home! Thank you so much!

Do you really want to select an item that is this traditional in style?

Comments (22)Those paintings are gorgeous! They really fit the room. The cherry blossom theme with the ginger jar lamps are perfect. Can you make a third one? It think they would really look nice having three of them in a tight row on the wall on the other side of the room. Even the two of them put together on the other wall will have great impact. Art that you create yourself is so much better than purchased art. I brings a joy to the heart to view. Since they are unframed and similar to the wall color hanging them together in a row on the larger wall makes a bigger statement than having them separate and hiding behind the lamps. "Anyway, I think I need something above the bed - maybe a starburst clock or something." No electronics over the head of the bed. Bad Feng Shui. It would be hard to view in that location too and you already have a bedside clock. Maybe a convex mirror like shown in your inspiration pic, but one more lightweight in feel. This one would mimic the brown branches and blossoms in the paintings balancing out both sides of the room....See MoreBlank wall needs help!!
Comments (16)I personally don't like anything on the wall above a bed. I just imagine it falling on me. I think you could use all 3 separately on other walls or above night stands. You really should have 2 night stands in a bedroom so each person has a place to put glasses and reading material. They don't have to match or be very large. Could you post more pictures that show every wall? Stand at the entry and take pictures of the opposite corners, then at the bed towards the entry. It would help to know more about the layout of the room than just pictures of blank walls. Is the door beside the bed a closet or the entry? What is on the wall that the bed faces?...See MoreBlank wall help!
Comments (11)Beautiful kitchen! Since you said 'classic and traditional', I was thinking that a beautiful wallpaper might work, maybe will a bit of silver to pick up on your fixtures/pulls. Alternatively, although you said you're not an art person, you might like prints of your favorite family or vacation photos (all in simple frames, not too many and not cluttered, in black and white always looks classic) or a cool map, nicely framed, if you're into geography or have a favorite vacation spot. Honestly, your kitchen is so pretty that I don't look at it and think "blank wall" - I notice all the rest of it....See MoreBig blank wall help
Comments (20)I like that! I personally would do prints all within a theme…. Like botanicals, florals, birds….just examples. Or if their is an artist where you can get prints, you could frame different prints from that artist. I did this on my stairs. I’m a cat lover. debra...See MoreRelated Professionals

Hi @Patricia, the walkway would be 3ft between the sofa and the piece with a 20” deep piece. The wallpaper will be gone soon, we are looking for something English/French inspired but simple enough to work in our family room.
PRO2 months agoWould you consider the chest placed on the back wall behind the sofa instead of the side wall? I have this Hooker piece and just love it! it is the one piece of furniture that everyone absolutely loves when they visit.

The side wall could have a gorgeous framed piece of wall art with a picture light. I found these on Etsy…and added picture lights…I enjoy touches French in my home…and add whatever frame style you prefer…they are very budget friendly..printed on canvas.
2 months agoI like them both, but think the taller would be better to help fill the space. I do think the 2nd one looks more like a bedroom piece, but the 1st does not, to me. If you need storage, you might also think of a taller/larger piece to go on the wall behind the sofa and just add art to this wall. That will alleviate any passage concerns.
I would look for a vintage piece in the style you prefer, so these are just size configuration ideas
Larger than this:
Wider than this, but it shows covered shelves:

Yes, the sofa does face a fireplace. These are the two floor plans I was thinking of, we are not replacing the sectional/chair/rug as they are new. Just trying to figure out what case goods/tables will best fit the room. Any help with this is appreciated!

Love this plan…than you can have a place for adding good lighting to that side of the room…I would consider a round coffee table…and floor lamp next to chair..small side table with a lamp at end of sectional will distribute lighting all around the room…beautiful!

I would thinksomething like this could work a bi to f a a crossover piece and then a nice large piece of art above . Lots of storage and meant to be a buffet type piece .Then think about maybe a bit french country style wall paper if you must . For me that wall above the trim in a really nice color with some art above it might be better but I would need to see that room where you have the wallpaper now .
