Help!! I have no idea what to put in this corner.

hace 10 años

I need help figuring out what to do with this corner in my living room/dining room combo. The corner is to the right of the Entry way - to the left is our entertainment center. I was thinking of getting 4 more of the same white bookcases to hug the wall but I don't know how I will fill up 4 more bookcases worth of shelves. Plus they're not cheap. Any suggestions??

Thanks!!!

Maybe two chairs like the one below that could be used for additional seating? Also like the idea of a folding screen or a tree to fill in corner. You've already got a console table just to the left of that space so not sure if repeating that scenario is the best idea.

You could do a bar cabinet if you drink. If not you could still get a bar cabinet! And a wine rack. Add a vertical picture above or a vintage champagne poster.

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \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.

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!

help with a couple kitchen remodeling items needed
Q
(1) comentarios
Apologies: here's the second item - I am having a hard time with the Houzz app for some reason (once I began adding photos it was hard to further edit my post). Anyways, item #2: does anyone have any lighting ideas for this room? The easy solution is adding recessed lights (this kitchen is on the second floor and adding lights from above shouldn't be too hard with access from attic). I thought about adding maybe 3 or so pendant lights through the middle of the room (at short lengths) could be cool, but not sure how that would look/feel (Kohler Lighting 22653-PE01-BNL Artifacts 5" Wide Mini | Build.com) I think these would give off a strong amount of light (I have used similar lights from the same Kohler line in other rooms) but may seem odd in the space/not perform as well as recessed lights as far as illumination goes. I am going for somewhat of a traditional look, that has some craftsman/occasional Victorian vibes in my home. Any ideas welcome - thanks.

Go to Joss and Main and click on the curio. Right click and save to desktop. Come back into the discussion. You have to comment first before you can attach your image.

Hit attach images and a box will appear on your screen for you to choose your jpg. image. It has to be jpg to work. Usually, when you attach images they are in jpg format.

We love the fresh paint color! We suggest some great art or family photos for the walls and an overstuffed, round ottoman to soften the corner. One that can be easily moved around if additional seating is needed when entertaining. Use a colorful throw as a finishing touch. The perfect addition to change out from season to season.

It isn't very big and appears to be beside a path to other areas of the house. A chair might be in the way and probably wouldn't be used often. I like the leaning mirror idea or a large floor plant. I have a 6' Bamboo Silk Tree in a corner of the living room with an up light behind it and a couple of baskets at its base. Hobby Lobby has a million ideas. . . if you walk through you can steal some ideas!

I think it's screaming for something round if you're considering furniture. If choosing a plant, make it a live one and make sure its height fits the space.

I'm voting for the tall plant and a piece of artwork on one wall option! get a fabulous fake if you have to and be sure the pot is eye catching.

Try a small corner cabinet like this one. You only need a couple of accessory pieces and it has plenty of storage.

well...there are a lot of suggestions but it sounds to me that keeping the space available for your Christmas tree is your main concern though you'd like it to have something with presence during the rest of the year. I love the idea of hanging mirrors on your walls; possibly, one large oversized one that would be a beautiful reflection during the holidays of your tree with a comparable size collection of small framed mirrors on the other wall. If you still feel a need to fill the floor space, look around your home and see if you've just "stuck" something that you really would like to show off and put whatever that is there. Just make it easy to move for your tree. Mirrors add so much sparkle and fun to a room and it will reflect and bounce the light around as well.

If you don't find something you already have, consider a large, fun piece of sculpture. It doesn't have to be overly expensive and you may find a lot of really great pieces in your local flea markets or furniture stores. I have a great 6 ft metal sculpture of a cloisonné-like giraffe that would be perfect in spot like that and I think having such a great conversation piece so close to your entrance would be a wonderful addition to your home.

ok...color my face red...I just went back and looked at your original pictures and see that you already have a mirror collection in your dining area. Did not notice that before. So if you think you might have mirror overload with my previous suggestion, maybe paint those corner walls a shade or two darker and place your sculpture piece there. That should give it the impact you need. Though, I think I'd be fine with the one large mirror on the wall parallel to the dining room wall. Good luck and let us all know what you end up doing!

Full length leaning mirror. They look great reflecting wood floors and being near the entry, you can give yourself one last look on the way out. Also, it's easy to slide away when it's time to pull the tree out. I wouldn't do anymore bookshelves.

I'm thinking the potted plant is the most practical for us. Does anyone know a nice one that doesn't need a lot of light? The corner doesn't get much sunlight. And I'm not a huge fan of fake plants. Any suggestions?

I think what are really beautiful and very elegant looking (and requires zero upkeep) are branches of curly willow in a beautiful big pot. Very organic, very minimalist, and would look striking in that corner-- almost like a natural sculpture. Florists will sell you cut branches, or nurseries will. And take one and stick it in the ground, and it will root for you-- and you'll have your own to cut in a year or so. Or, if you get tired of it, put them someplace else, or root all of them.

since there are pictures on wall in entry and large cabinet with cubbies in adjoining room...all with the "square" shape, how about a tall, earthen style vase fountain? Gives life to area and a sense of calm between all the "activity" areas. Or, a not so tall fountain backed by taller greenery?

Large mirror hung on the wall, a chest in front of it with a lamp to reflect in the mirror. Come Christmas time just remove the chest and the mirror will add sparkle to your tree. The big mirror will also add depth to the space. I have the same scenario and that what I ended up with and being happy. I tried lots of other "fillers" and the huge mirror and chest in front of it looks amazing!

How large is your entryway? My thought is to remove the table in there because it seems to block the hall a bit. Might just be the angle of the picture though. I would then add a cabinet in the corner with storage in it that seems to pile up in the entry.

Interesting how many opinions there are. I first thought of a Christmas Tree, no duh. Perhaps have a bar built in a triangle to fit the space tight, but on hidden wheels so you could move it for Christmas. Also, I do like the wine rack idea; you could put up wine, oils, vinegars, et cetera for color and interest. Some lighting to match.

I see your entry way is nearby. Do you have storage for outerwear somewhere? You could put a dresser with nice mirror above. Could work for storing gloves etc., maybe have a charging station for cell phones etc. and a place to put all the charging cables.

Not every wall has to have furniture or even art work on it. But I'm sure you feel the emptiness when you use that room. I don't know why but for some reason our brains or souls search for comfort in our environment. Try a large silk tree; ficus, evergreen or a palm tree depending on what part of the country you reside in.
