What shall I put on this wall?

10 years ago

Hi I am at a loss as to what to display on the wall. It's what you can see as you walk in the front door. Seems too low for a mirror. Any suggestions welcome! Thank you !

You could do a bench with a top that opened for storage. This way family & guests have a place to sit and take off their shoes or boots when entering. You could also put hooks on the wall above the bench for a place to hang coats or keys.
A second option could be a sideboard or dresser. This would also provide storage and you could put decorative accessories on the top of it and hang a nice picture on the wall.

I would put a chair and a small table. Is there a way you can close the ares to hide the shoes? Below are some inspirational pictures. I know, they won't specifically work with your space but will give you some ideas. I show you an example with drawers but I imagine something bigger than these drawers to store your shoes.

What a unique space. I love that this isn't necessarily symmetrical. This can sometimes pose a challenge however when trying to unify a space. I would approach this dilema by addressing it with color rather than objects. Try painting inside of the bookcase shelves and the alcove a contrast color. This will allow the walls to recede and the fireplace to come forward adding depth and dimension. Here are a couple of color suggestions based on your existing furniture.

Hope this helps.

What a lovely, clean space. A beautiful oversized painting would add so much to it--something to look at while you're cooking or dining. An abstract landscape that ties into your outdoors is one possibility or a painting with a food related theme. Large vintage posters can look great in a kitchen. Then add a piece of pottery on your counter in one of the colors from the painting.

Hi amfork, I went ahead & put the hob on my island & am delighted I did. I find it really is so much nicer looking out at the kids/my husband & being able to chat to them while I prepare meals as opposed to facing the wall with my back turned on everyone. I put a 4 ring induction hob on the island & put a 5 ring gas hob on counter facing wall. I did this as I have a large extended family & we frequently have get togethers. It’s great for catering for big events. However, I use the 4 ring induction hob on a daily basis. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your project, Claire

I think the heather and sage tones will work well together. Putting rugs under dining tables isn't that practical for clearing up if you have kids or grand kids. I also like the sound of the yellow, but it would have to be very pale. Grey might work better, good luck x

Thanks so much! Yes hiding the shoes is a priority! Will probably put a door of some kind over that space . Love the idea of the wee table and chairs. Thanks again !
