Anyone wanna dress my wall...

trebmal

I rearranged furniture and now have a seemingly open wall.  Any suggestions on what I can do with this would be great! THANKS!

How about a stick-on wall mural? I've never used them because my walls are textured...but supposedly you can peel them off when done. Perfect for apartments or places you don't want anything permanent. I think you could find a really fun one for that wall! Here are some on etsy (<----Clicky), but i've even seen them at Kohl's and Target...

I love this frame set from BBB. I used to ogle it when I worked there. I like it because you can always rearrange it or use some of the frames elsewhere in the house/apartment as well.

[QUOTE]You could buy some wall art. But I don't know what your taste is in style of art. What would you like to see there?

I tend to lead toward more contemperary (sp?). 
I have black wrought iron lamps and candles in there with wooden and a rock type end tables and coffee table. 
My furniture is a sage color. 
The walls are a neutral tan (doesn't show up well in the picture, sorry)
I can take pics of the two other pictures I have up on the opposite wall on either side of the doorway leading to the dining room.  They're neutral colors as well. 
I am open to anything really though.  There's a LOT of space to deal with, over 11.5 feet! Yikes!
Thanks so much ladies.

[QUOTE]I just took a quick cell phone picture of our living room wall. We had a lot of blank space and I used different-sized frames, some on shelves and some hanging, to break up the wall. All the frames and ledges are from Crate & Barrel. I like how it looks in the space!

I really like that also!  I have tons of pictures that I need framed anyway so that could really work!

Liv - I did frames/shelves on one of my walls too and love it! I also have hanging picture frames in my entryway that are pretty nice...I got them from At Home America(<---Clicky). Here's a pic from the website:

I love both of the Kohl's one's Trebmal. I've never heard of Uppercase Living...but their catalogue looks nice!

Also check out Ross and or TJ Maxx (if they have them in your area). We have purchased several large wall-art pieces, and none of them were more than $30. Maybe you could paint that wall as an accent wall, then put some nice wall-art and maybe one of the sayings on there.

You could also do something like this. But a sheet set in a pattern you really like. Go buy cheap canvases at Michael's. Wash and iron the sheets, cut them according to the size of the canvases, and use a staple gun to secure them. Voila! Wall art!

If I had my own place I'd want a living wall.

I don't know exactly how easy it is, but I think it's such an awesome way to fill up an empty wall.
