sideboard and wall ideas
I’ve been lovingly gifted this sideboard - it doesn’t fit the theme of the house but I love it. I want to make it work. Should I mess with it? Or Leave it alone and just accessorise it?
Also, ideas for prints above it. I love colour - so ideally something creative and quirky? Maybe a set of three prints? Any ideas/ suggestions would be super useful.

4 years agoHi, have you considered adding a touch of grey colour to some parts of the sideboard. Something like this. Hope you are able to look at the picture if not it’s a sideboard from dwell called Juxta compact table.

4 years agoHow lovely. It looks like an original 60’s piece, so I think colourful abstract art with a mid century feel would look so good. I wouldn’t paint it. Three pictures in a row sounds good or one big piece of art. I think they will tie in nicely with the rest of the room. Here’s the sort of thing I mean:

Comments (15)Once again, carolins has taken the words right out of my mouth. I sometimes feel like a crusader for entertainment centers and lowering art! You have a dynamic room with so much potential. Your wall could look amazing with the armoire carolins has pictured above. Of course, lower your sconces so that they're a about 4" below the top of the armoire and about 7" from the sides. Your fireplace should be your focal point with your wall being strong but not competing. Rooms get personality from smaller accents but you have too many little things that take away from the great colored pillows and the picture. Be careful not to hang things in straight lines--top of pictures should never line up with tops of doors or curtain rods. I wish we could see your fireplace in another photo. Chairs should form conversation groups with the couch like Carolyn has outlined. I like your chandelier but you might think about lowering it or moving it above a dining table--it looks rather lost way up there....See MoreThese walls look too plain beside Red Brick wall, any ideas please?
Comments (20)I agree deepen the color, don't change it and yes art art art! maybe lessen the presence of the brick with the earlier suggestion of the metal cogs its and use traditional artwork pics/nature/paintings on the painted wall. I also like the idea to paint the part of the wall that juts out in a darker shade of the same color. Now you have lots to consider and lots to dismiss as well. Good luck and have fun...See MoreDressing hallway sideboard advice
Comments (6)Nice art but a bit too large for this spot. See how the frame is above your door frame. If it were mine, since the door appears to open into the next room, I'd consider modifying the sideboard to be used as a rad cover and lower the art so its center is 5' above the floor. It can stand on its own, and you can paint the frame the same color as the sideboard to unify them and the space. You might also add an art light that attaches to the piece for more evening interest....See Moreideas for hall wall lights

4 years agoI do think it goes with the theme of your house. Looks like a mid century modern original to me. I wouldn't touch it. Agree with Colourhappy that modern, colourful prints would go well. You could go for three, one or a 'gallery wall' of prints. Also, one print, off centre to the sideboard could be really nice too. Some examples:
