Living Rooms Design Dilemma

What to do with this wall/sideboard??

4 years ago

Hi all, just moved into a house which we have done a lot of renovating on over the last few months. In the living room there are 2 of these strange windows!! Please could I have some ideas of what to do with them? Will be putting more things on the sideboard but would it look strange to have a picture on the wall underneath the window or should I just stick to putting things on the sideboard?

I'd just put art on the sideboard, let it lean against the wall. You could also try and incorporate it in a gallery wall.

I would have a much taller sideboard. From the pic it looks like its the height of a bench/tv unit which I dont think works.

Hi Leigh - Depending on whether you think you'll ever want to open these windows, I would get a an ornamental glass insert (i.e. on a wooden frame) to fit into the opening, making them into features. There are stained glass options, or you could find something a little more modern that suits the rest of your décor. Good luck!

You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet..

I'm really struggling to decide what to do with the natural alcoves either side of the chimney breast in our new build. We are aiming for a contemporary look and the wall in question is at one end of an open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living room approximately 11.5m x 4.4m (please see images of SketchUp model attached) Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks

More photos. As you can see a lot of space behind the sofa could probably be better used. We are a family of 4, the room is our only tv room and is used in the evenings mostly. Single doorway - can be removed if necessary and blocked with furniture in short term. The pocket doors are the ones which are open all the time and used all the time.

I too would add trailing plants, assuming you never want to open and close the window!

It depends on the rest of your room and how bright it is. How many windows do you have in this room besides this one?
