Monday Redesign: Amy’s Living Room
Remember Amy’s great blue wall in her Living/Dining Room area? Here is the before picture:
The wall is about 25 feet long with a 15 foot peak. Amy just painted the wall and needs help decorating it. Here is the redesign:
General tip: To decorate a vaulted ceiling, try to mimic the peak as much as possible. This will make the wall visually appealing.
A break down of the goodies:
- I would place a tall bookcase to visually separate the living area from the dining room. I would use many of the picture frames you had placed on the piano and end table and use them to decorate the shelves. {This bookcase is from ikea and is only $60!}
- I found this wonderful pitcher on etsy and love its texture and colors. I think it’s a perfect accent to place on the top shelf of the bookcase.
- Add a plant to the top of the bookcase. This will extend the height of the bookshelf even more and also add greenery to the room. {The plant pictured is a pothos}.
- Hang some art work above the piano. I found this art piece at Target. It’s three separate pieces. I would hang them about 6 inches apart.
- Hang an art piece above the dining room table. This will create balance in the room. I suggest something like this Iron Forest Wall Art. Again, found at Target.
- Add a modern lamp to the corner of the room. I found this lamp at ikea for only $40!
- Clear off the piano so it looks clean and simple. Add an orchid to the top of the piano next to your family picture. It adds a color pop and brings everything together.
I hope you enjoy your new wall redesign, Amy! I sure had a great time designing it. Do you need a space makeover? Submit your space here.
