Looking for wainscoting accent wall ideas/advice
Would like to do something with this wall behind the television. Don't want anything too heavy like shiplap. Thinking large floor to ceiling wainscoting boxes? We do have half-wall wainscoting with chair rails
in various places around the house. Picture frame type I think it is called (thin frames - not board and batten type). Thinking of perhaps the same thing here - three floor to ceiling boxes perhaps? Also, what color would I paint the wall? All wainscoting half walls in our house are semi-gloss white. Would I also do this wall in semi gloss? Should I do it all white or the same color as the rest of the walls or a darker color? HELP!!

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoWhatever you do should fit the overall style of your house. I'll make assumptions it's traditional based on the photo (double hung windows, crown molding, and your desire for wainscoting).
Consider a traditional built-in hearth approach, and make the full wall both architectural as well as functional. It gives the woodwork a purpose for being there, and in your case the TV takes the center position, along with great covered storage.
This photo is fairly close to your layout. Painted white it blends nicely, yet makes the full wall a feature. Design your built-in with the right level of cabinet detail to fit your overall house style.

need advice sitting room will i change fireplace and mirror to white and what walpaper at wall over fire pla
Comments (4)shelly12345...not sure if you have completed your fireplace/room, just saw this post while looking for help with my own family room. I think would paint the fireplace and mirror white...would match the trim work of your room and your lighter furnishings. Something that was suggested to me...use some fabric or poster board to cover the wood on both, just to give you an idea of what it would look like white. That way you are not committed once the paint has been applied to the wood. I love Dytectur's idea of wallpapering the room and having the fireplace wall white. Would really pop! Good luck and post pictures if your finished or when you finish....See MoreLooking for Ideas for Kitchen/Living Room
Comments (12)Two ideas. Both times I would block up the entrance to the second half of the room to make more usuable space. Both ideas have a island with a dining table attached. Obviously these drawings are not to scale but everything should fit in. I would utilise the kitchen cuboards for utilities- intergrated appliances. If you can dont forget to use the space under your stairs as well. Also use the long wall at the bottom of the stairs for extra storage and alcoves....See MoreNeed help!

Comments (10)Hi Maria. It's a lovely kitchen and I must admit I like the white so would probably change the accessories. I would add a huge sunburst clock or mirror above the cabinets (can't work out if it's a clock or mirror above the fire). Add a statement light over the table. Try a coloured splashback behind the cabinets. Add some coloured stools. I would say paint the kitchen chairs but I can see they are good quality! If you do want to paint then either blues, violets or even a very soft grey if you add some coloured accesories. Do make sure the colour blends with the lounge though as you can obviously see through....See MoreColour help needed for accent wall
Comments (8)You really don't have any color scheme going on in here. I do see a gold range so I worked around that. Here are some ideas of colors you could add . I'm not crazy about accent walls, but you do need to add color to at least one of your walls - be it intense or even just a tint of color: Sherwin Williams Jetstream Sherwin Williams Sprout Sherwin Williams Composed I also added in a white or off white (or you could do color) back splash over your stove and counters. Once you have some color then you can add window dressings. I suggest roman shades, which you can get in many patterns and colors. Then find some art work that compliments your new colors - check on art.com, Overstock.com or Wayfair.com....See More

6 years agoIMO a floating media unit from Woodwaves could be a good solution for your wall. I moved your random framed items from the window wall to either side of your flatscreen
Wainscot is not often done on just one wall in a room.
You can add feature strips to one wall if you like.
You can create a built in media center with an accent color.

6 years agoChair rail on a wall with no chairs makes little sense, especially if not on all walls. why bring attention to a wall that the TV is on? the reason you dont like the room is the room layout itself.
Bring the sectional so it is centered under that window and not stuck to both walls.
Move the end table to the end of the sofa once tv is moved.
Sell the ikea paper floor lamp and get something less bulky or perhaps that can go behind the sectional.
Try getting some white or lighter frames for the artwork.
remove the black family crest as it just draws your eyes to the black speakers.
