Visually interesting without being overly distracting... I'd have to switch out the clock above the fireplace for a picture I think then, but I could be OK with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809291 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 14:38:02 +0000 Autumnmama79 2809291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: I would put a large mirror up there! Would provide light and interest without being distracting. Great angles in the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809203 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 10:41:42 +0000 josina 2809203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My thoughts are a giant oversized clock, a word phrase like below (I diy'd a similar one for my living room), or possibly a giant wheel or windmill blades if it fits the rest of your style, something more architectural. </p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/509171697/home-where-our-story-begins-sign-wood?gpla=1&#038;gao=1&#038;&#038;utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-home_and_living-home_decor-wall_decor-other&#038;utm_custom1=42339651-1087-4e54-9d07-bcb8f6615344&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI48qR1obn2QIVyrrACh1OGgLBEAQYASABEgJoJ_D_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/509171697/home-where-our-story-begins-sign-wood?gpla=1&#038;gao=1&#038;&#038;utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-home_and_living-home_decor-wall_decor-other&#038;utm_custom1=42339651-1087-4e54-9d07-bcb8f6615344&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI48qR1obn2QIVyrrACh1OGgLBEAQYASABEgJoJ_D_BwE</a> </p> [attach=4677/18/p5hi9i.567x420.Screen-Shot-2018-03-12-at-10.29.35-AM.png] [attach=4677/18/p5hi9j.600x400.IMG_1373.jpg] [attach=4677/18/p5hi9k.271x400.8d9fb1c019870a64aed7ce06f9dcc27f.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809176 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:20:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2809176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably just leave it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809041 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 13:22:06 +0000 looch 2809041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: this is my view from the couch opposite. The dining room is underneath. </p> [attach=677/18/p5fv0u.600x449.E01DA7F0-C803-49C7-8AE8-7B7543660364.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809036 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 12:14:49 +0000 kiddosc 2809036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: there's a window opposite. I was sitting on the other couch in the room when I took the pic. I like the idea of some uplighting. We had discussed that at one point but I forgot about that option since. </p> <p>@Silva: I would have to climb a ladder every time to water plants. I have enough trouble keeping ground level plants alive :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809033 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:43:40 +0000 Littlebit7 2809033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would paint it a lighter color (ceiling color). I think it would make it appear to be a higher ceiling there and not feel so boxed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809030 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:37:46 +0000 Silva 2809030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might try to put plants on the ledge, but I keep a lot of live plants around. and also have no sense of interior design. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809005 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 08:16:06 +0000 LCTBQE 2809005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see the temptation to decorate that spot, but leave it. it's negative space. I would not paint it a different color or anything. If it was my house I'd maybe build up the gallery wall that you've started on the left to make that wall more of a statement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2809000 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 06:17:16 +0000 looch 2809000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a seating area across from it that people look up at and what is on the other side of the fireplace (is it symmetrical)?</p> <p>We have a similar kind of wall in our living room and we've put up a series of spot lights that are pointed up towards the ceiling for a soft reflection of light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2808953 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 16:40:05 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2808953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would just leave it, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2808943 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 15:26:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2808943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the other elements you have going on I would either paint it an accent color- the ledge would still be beige- or leave it as-is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-this-space#post-2808942 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 15:09:32 +0000 kiddosc 2808942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a large chunk of wall with a ledge where our vaulted ceiling meets regular height ceilings. I can't figure out what to put here, or if it really needs anything. I'm afraid large art would dominate the room and drawing a blank on what could go on the ledge. Any ideas? Pictures or links would be great. </p> [attach=1439/18/p5e5bx.600x337.20180310_135741.jpg] [attach=1439/18/p5e5by.337x600.20180310_135757.jpg]
