Living room wall ideas?

hace 6 años

Hi Houzz pros! I'm trying to decide what to put on the wall over these two leather chairs in our living room. I was thinking about either a large rectangular picture or mirror, maybe something like this one from Crate & Barrel which is 47"x29"

Ideas/suggestions please!!

Before I purchased anything, I would rearrange that area. Remove the plant and the table and lamp.

Put the tall piece in the middle of that wall, repositioning a chair on either side.

Take off all the smalls on top of the chest.

Now purchase two floor lamps with trays…one for each chair.

That should fill up that end of the room perfectly and you will need nothing else, except for putting matching red pillows from the couch on each of the chairs.

Hola Edson, como esta otro lado de tu salón? Yo creo que el espacio donde esta la mesita con la lampara detrás de los sillines esta un poco desaprovechado así que quizás allí quedaría bien un pequeño bar? Creo que una alfombra y algunas plantas harían tu salón mas acogedor. Saludos, Marcin

Hola MONICA: Gracias por explicarte. Si no te obstinas por poner fotos tuyas variadas y pequeñás, puedes encargar un vinilo autadhesivo, con una imagen de la más alta definición, que haga tu instrumento, o comprar alguna en un banco de imágenes. Procuras que la parte alta izquierda sea lo más neutra posible y pegas la imagen sobre el paramento completo, incluso sobre el frente del split. El resto, puedes hasta pintarlo a spray del color que requiera, para camuflarse mejor.

The benefits of cassette air conditioning units https://www.airconditionersductless.com/ · Based on the fact that cold air falls, cassette a/c units which are mounted on ceilings ensure that the air is well distributed in the room. These air conditioning units have very powerful fans which can ensure that air is circulated in a larger space compared to other air conditioning units. · Because cassette air conditioning systems are usually mounted in the ceiling, basically floating or false ceiling, cassette a/c units do not consume essential space. · The condenser of the cassette air conditioning unit is typically located outside the building. As a result, a cassette a/c unit doesn’t make any noise, and this makes it the perfect choice for businesses and residential buildings. · Another benefit of a cassette air conditioner is its programmable thermostat and variable speed fan. This means that the user can adjust the room temperature, which helps in saving electricity bills. · Cassette air conditioners have been proven to be very energy efficient. The disadvantages of cassette air conditioners · Because cassette air conditioning units are mounted on the ceiling, it means that their compressors are situated outside. In large buildings, the distance between the air conditioning unit and the compressor can be relatively long, and this means that many holes should be drilled in the walls during installation. This can be costly and time-consuming. · If a person is considering to install a cassette air conditioning unit in the office or warehouse, it would mean that the individual needs more than one air conditioning unit. This can significantly increase the cost. · If a person lives in a building with many storeys or runs his or her business in a building with many storeys, the person is not guaranteed that the ceilings in the building will have sufficient space to allow the installation of a cassette a/c unit. If there is no sufficient space, then you can be forced to choose other types air conditioners, which cannot be energy efficient and silent like cassette air conditioners. However, before a person chooses an air conditioner, be it for business or residential building, they should ensure that they seek professional advice as this ensures that they get an air conditioner which suits his or her need.

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

I might consider painting that wall an accent color...your room is heavy on neutrals...a colored wall can add personality and warmth....

Also....Unless the tall cabinet is absolutely necessary..removing it will give you a roomier ...more homey feel

As to the mirror..consider the view that will be reflected in the mirror...if it doesn't reflect something pretty ...choose an art piece...

Also....As the walls in your pic seem bare ...maybe adding some soft draperies on each side of the big window would add to the already comfy looking room

Try artwork, not a mirror. If you want something on that wall.

Thanks everyone, I took Judy G's suggestion and tried just some rearranging as a first step. The tall cabinet is our bar (so therefore essential!) and we like the piece. You can see it both open and closed below. Any further suggestions?

May I ask the dimensions of your room? Our living room is similar, and I've often wondered how a sectional would feel in there.

Put the tall piece back in the corner. It totally breaks up the room in the middle of the wall like that.

And did you start a fire in the corner, or do you have a 2000w bulb in that lamp?

I would flip the bar and the tree so you'll have better access to the bar, send the giraffes someplace less crowded to live, center the chairs and the table on the wall, and get a floor lamp for behind the chair on the right. Then I'd hang a great big framed Klee on the wall.

Thanks groveraxle, I do like the way that Ann Klee looks (and the dog!) though access to the bar is actually much easier with it in the new position. Don't think a lamp would fit there to the right side in front of the bar the way you've shown it.
Maybe we just need some art to right of bar and left of window now? And drapes?

Kim, I will get those dimensions for you,

If you find 4 pieces of same sized, themed art, and hang them two on each side of the cabinet, it should balance the cabinet and make it look like it belongs on that wall. And art can be anything, from "found" objects, vintage pieces like tools, or even plants, like plank mounted staghorn ferns.

Thanks teamaltese. Would you hang those staggered in some way?

I would keep the art symmetrical, same heights, same distance from the cabinet. I wouldn't worry about the art being hidden by the doors, the cabinet would be closed mostly.

Daisy's good with leaving the bar there; Daisy's good with anything that makes her humans happy. If you're leaving the tree there, though, you'll have to play with the sizes and placements of what you put on that wall to balance because you won't get symmetry.

Thanks again Daisy! The verdict is still out on long term future of the tree....I need to do some shopping now for art and lamps and perhaps drapes too. Here are some better pictures of the rearrangement without the "fire" in the corner from the flash:

Looks better without fire, but can the chairs come forward at all? That right chair is almost behind the couch. Unless you were planning on making it the time-out chair...

Yes I think I can pull the chairs forward a bit. Fortunately we're past the time out stage of life (unless my hubby needs it!)
Would you put anything on top of or above the bar cabinet?
Melissa Gallagher

I would get rid of the fake tree and get a real one.
I like the bar in the middle but I wouldn't angle the chairs. That's a really cool piece!
As someone else said, maybe try some drapes.
I love your leather ottoman but it seems rather heavy. Maybe a glass table would be lighter and I see other smaller stools there too so it looks like you're using the large round one for your table....
It's a nice room....

Fixed ceiling height drapery panels on each side of the window would give an additional dimension and added colour. Lamps need to be more substantial. They give flattering light. End tables make more sense than the huge ottoman.

Wall Cladding is always a good alternative.

Hmm, drapes could be an issue due to size of the couch - there wouldn't be room on both sides for them to hang to the floor. Maybe a valance to add some color?
The ottoman is combination table and place to put our feet on while we watch television....
I will definitely add two new lamps in each corner behind the leather chairs!
Melissa Gallagher
hace 6 años
I'd say no to the valance and skip the drapes since you probably can't pull out the sofa from the wall...

While that cladding can be cool in some places I think it would be too much in this room and just make it seem smaller

I agree on the wall cladding. Why do you think no on the valance?
Melissa Gallagher

Because they are dated. Just my opinion...

Really like the ideas and the fantastic bar in the middle of the chairs. You could also do architectural shelf/sconces on each side of the bar with small topiaries or large candles. What seems to be missing most is lamps, which will give the room some more height and can really add color and pizzaz. Fun lamps, your choice.

Thanks! Do you think you could do an arced lamp to provide light for reading in those chairs?
acm
hace 6 años
Yes, back at the table-in-the-middle stage, i was going to suggest an arced lamp. Or you could put an end table between the couch and the chair on the right, with a table lamp, and then put an arced floor lamp behind the chair on the left. If the plant is headed out. (Or the plant could then go on the right.)

For comfort and ease of conversation, I'd like to see the chairs closer together and more related to the sofa.
Melissa Gallagher

My bf has these chairs and floor lamps from crate and barrel. We didn't get the CB shades, just the lamps and got the smaller shades at Target. The CB lamps come in three finishes...

I like arc lamps but without being in your room....they may be too big for your space.

I think the draperies at the edge of the windows are pretty essential to the sort of bare wall feel of the room...even if you have to move the sofa out a little to get them to fit...

Moving the sofa out a little will also lend a feeling of spaciousness to the room ..

The large ottoman is also out of scale a little..it appears to be dysfunctional as well...too heavy to move around as needed..a couple smaller tables may also make the room feel "roomier"...

I love all the feedback your getting on this room. I am going to have a similar dilemma with my new living room (bare wall behind sofa so im finding this thread helpful) one suggestion - what if you were to keep the pair of chairs together and put in left side and them shift bar cabinet a few feet to the right corner. it could keep your chairs together as a pair and give some breathing room between the chairs, bar and chaise.

just realized there may be a tv on that wall so you might like having that chair face the tv - like you have it now!

This is great feedback! I can't move the chairs too much further forward due to entrance to dining room on the left. They actually work pretty well where they are now in terms of watching TV (located on left side of room opposite windows) - for the chair on right side of room though not so much for chair on left, and the new arrangement does give much better access to bar cabinet than before.

As far as drapes go - can you have a full length drape on a window that only goes down to about the sofa level? Will that be weird or not matter since the sofa is in front of the window?

Melissa, those are very nice lamps from C&B. If i try an arc lamp it will need a very narrow profile to fit here, for sure.

Very nice comfy room. The big issues have been resolved. This is nit picky, but could you try the rectangular tray on the ottoman? Round on round looks odd.

Curtains to floor is fine...more luxurious..appropriate for living room
