@newgardener, It's quite a shame that the AC was placed so low on the wall, it would be so hard to sit under it when on, you would get a stiff neck from the cold in no time. It should have been right up below the cornice, then artwork would be simple. If it were me, I'd have it moved up, repair the move and you have your wall back, not particularly an expensive job just a bit messy.

Hi there! I love your sideboard and pendant light, very cool! The print you have is lovely but it's too small. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce either colour or boldness to make a statement, go for a square or rectangle piece that is relative to the length of your sideboard, but don't go longer! The length of the runner on your sideboard would be a good guide - measure this length as well as the sideboard and take the measurements art shopping with you, have fun with it and just pick something you love!!

I think some shelving would look wonderful, keep the styling quite simple so that your eye doesn't get pulled away from the TV when you are trying to relax. A couple of floor plants either side of your entertainment unit would keep the electronics company and finish off the look quite nicely.

oh that art over lounge is old & need to replace bc sick of looking at it. also can’t change placement of the clock as there is a bracket & dont want to patch & paint the wall. The other wall in dining room will only reflect another wall so not sure but im going to buy them first and play around with them as I’m a visual person. also what colour would you recommend I go? ideally I would love to change my curtainS but can’t afford to do so. & my rug but I have an old fur baby who at times has accidents so going to wait on that for now. Was thinking of painting my antique tv unit & table white; what do you think?? Btw... chairs are brown not black.
