It's nice having such high ceilings, but a major dilemma as far as art, design, etc. We put some wooden screens up which helps break up the wall, needs some other suggestions to spice up this wall. Any idea?

 

Vigo!!

 

Wow, cool looking room and great area. I really like the rug but for some reason I'm not sure about the screen. It kind of looks like it shouldnt be sitting on the floor or something. Obviously, you wouldnt hang that up on the wall but it almost looks like giant headboard or something.

Really nice looking house tho and you are right, the wall and large windows make the room but what the hell do you do with that wall

 

werd..werd.. screen is actually nailed to the wall. It looks much better in person, matches the coffee table to the tee.....It was the wife's idea, I didn't like it at first until it was done. Still need alot to do in the room, pillows, accessories, etc.. you get the idea.

 

nice, it does match. Ok, it is growing on me the more I stare at it.

To be honest, the screen means nothing to me, I want to see new pics of the car

 

GIANT Oil painting of scareface !!!!!!!!!

 

a very nice, very big portrait or painting. go shopping and whatever just catches you.

 

Id say 3 smaller equally spaced paintings would look good also.

 

^ leaning towards 3 larger paintings vs. one huge one.....

 

paint it black!

 

woven tapestry hanging off of rods

interesting colors in the chairs and rug lol

 

Clouds, stars, planets and a big black light!

 

Some sort of large custom art object(s). It a great space and really needs some kind of theme. Nothing overdone but still large and tasteful. Very nice so-far but the screen could go away when you find something else.

 

big circle window

 

^ hahah.. the funny thing is we mention possibly cutting out the wall and putting up a huge window. But not worth it, and view would suck.

 

Fuck you all. Put a huge painting of naked Whiskers with his child up there. :twocents:

 

Holy shit! That was the first thing that popped into my head as I read Synth's post and saw the first picture. Then I scroll down, and there it is!


Seriously though, some sort of large artwork (contemporary?) would work well.

 

the painting of terry crews from "white chicks"?

 

An octagon window would be better....but not too big.

 

rofl!!!

 

neon art...

 

this may sound dumb, but how about something like an architectural shelf that runs across the wall and as well in-front of the banister. This way you can put some stuff (vases, trainset, etc) on it and help break up the wall. Then you can always go for a painting or something up there.

 

Then don't do a huge window - how about a half-height rectangular window (perhaps recessed on the inside) that runs the width of the wall up to the banisters? Like this, but up high. This will let in natural light but will be high enough that you can't see out of them unless you're in the upper hallway. That splits the wall into two.

On the lower part you can hang some art like others suggested - If I did this I would look into installing additional lighting to highlight the art and give the wall a little warmer feeling. Three separate pieces of the same size - space the frames equidistantly horizontally.

 

a huge portrait of Al Sharpton painted on velvet?

 

If that is your formal living room. How about installing a fireplace with a nice mantle?

 

If it's an outside wall, you could commission someone to do a beautiful piece of stained glass.

And btw, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !


In-wall aquarium.


Take down the screens and do an entire gallery wall with MANY photographs (B&W?) of equal size or maybe paintings...but not with so many colours that it has too much going on.

Do a long built-in cove sort of half-way up the wall where you can display stuff.

 

Having big oversized furniture would probably help with the scale of the room too...yours is quite low and small in comparison the to size and height you have in that room.

Why not throw a few dollars at an interior designer to see the different ideas (s)he comes up with?...If this is really important to you.

 

I found the perfect painting for you.

 

That would look great -- it draws out the colors of the rug and adds opportunity to bring in more varied thematic elements.

 

I think the wide angle really distorted the scale of everything, will have to take some pics with a normal lens....

 

That's awesome. It also proves it was meant to be. Vigo must be choosen!

 

Damn that's some humongous wall...carry on.

 

A tapestry?

I like the Asian motif.



or

 

Biggggg screen TV?

 

I'd put a large canvas painting as someone already suggested...something more modern - just colors...expensive though
