What to do with walls?

hace 3 años

This is my entryway. I think I want a mirror over the chest (thoughts welcome). I have two of those prints you see. Which wall should I put them on? Thank you!!!

There's also the concept of negative space, which says that each nook and cranny doesn't have to be filled. It's ok for the eyes to rest occasionally.

Try this experiment: put the mirror where the print is. Walk around in this space and see what the mirror reflection is. If the reflection is interesting, this may be the spot for the mirror. Another consideration - sometimes people like to check how they look coming in or going out. If that's important to you and your family, that's another reason to put a mirror here. You can always put the print over the mirror. Where the vase is on the floor - you may want to consider putting a full length mirror there. That way, people can check their entire outfit. One time I didn't realize my slip was very slightly longer than my skirt. I didn't have a mirror in my entry to check my outfit. I only realized while I was out and about town about my fashion faux pas. Most people have a full length mirror in their bedrooms, but something may happen to their outfit from the bedroom to the entry! Another thing you may want to do is put a small tray on that piece of furniture. That way, people can put keys or change down on this "landing zone". Think about what people might put down there - purses, wallets, paperwork, etc. Is there room for that? Above the vase (if you decide not to put a full length mirror there), I would put a long print there.

another thought...not sure how much width there is in the entry and looks like there is a nook where the fern is... wondering if the console could be put in the nook with mirror or art above it, so there is a bit more walkway area is as you walk in? may be too tight, but thought I would mention. I would consider putting vase on the console and not on the floor as you walk in.

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.

What ducting is the best for a kitchen?
Q
(0) comentarios
The choice of ducting depends on the type of configuration required in your kitchen. We recommend: - Flexible ducting for direct venting - Rigid ducting in cases of a decrease in cross-section, involving one or more curves. In this case, the ducting will also decrease the noise generally created by extendable corrugated tubing. What do you think?

The two examples of bathrooms presented to us, especially the first, have a superlative personality. The flooring of marbles in the back of the sink and the tiled shower are masterful and achieve a very unusual effect, for tremendously original.

Hi Nancy-

A lovely mirror is a great idea for over the chest.

That way, people can check how they look after they take off their hat when they come in, and how they look on their way out the door.

The mirror should be of sufficient height to be proportional to the ceiling height.

It wouldn't do to put a print over the mirror at all.

You might think about replacing the ceiling fixture in the foyer with a pendant, that will provide sufficient illumination, and you won't need a lamp on that chest at all.

What would look nice on that chest and be appropriate is an attractive tray for mail, maybe keys, and a lovely flowering plant.

You might think about removing the vase in the corner, someone might knock it over when they go to that closet to hang up their coat.

You could put up those prints on that wall if you like.

Or, if you find some interesting hooks or a rack and you live in a cold climate, that space would be a great place for some interesting vintage brass hooks or a wall mounted rack for hats or scarves.

What is in the nook just past the chest? That wall there might be a place to put your prints.

I am wondering though, before you commit to that chest, if you could take some more photos of it from head on, from different angles and from a distance just to make sure it is appropriately sized for where it is located.

Thank you so much loobab!

i think the mirror over the chest sounds like the consensus! Right now I have a fake plant in the nook. I am trying to decide what to put there if I put the pictures on the wall over that vase (and yes, my Husband agrees with removing that!!).

The nook is so lonely though. It’s about 36 by 36. Guess I will come back to that after the mirror and prints are up?

Lonely is ok. Better than cluttered.

And no fake plants, horrors!!

so, am I correct that the console is too big for the nook? could put a bench in there possibly as another option.

We might recommend removing the chest and putting it where the plant is. Then hanging a mirror where the chest currently is and a small shelf under if need be.
