A fairly blank canvas!
Comments (18)On window add a black shade, woven bamboo sold at all big box store they are just hung on nails and the put up rod in black and add white panels in each end for a finish look. Palm trees or tall plants are used to fill in bare spots in rooms usually corners. The sofa you picked above is nice, how long is it? Just put one chair on door wall. Not enough room for more. I think you could do a longer 7 ft. Sect....See MoreWhat would you do with this blank space in the bedroom?
Comments (17)Emily, with being a renter, I'd definitely check Pinterest for temporary solutions. I've seen DIYs where you can starch fabric to walls with an iron. Also try temporary wall paper/decals, but I'd test a small area first. Cabinet makers or even yourself would be able to create a flush vanity without attaching it to the wall. Plywood, especially hoop pine, has received a lot of traction. It really gives a clean, organic look that you could have custom cut to fit in the area. You could also use it on the wall – it could be stained, left natural, or painted for a feature. Have a look at EchoPanel. It is a decorative, acoustic pinboard that would add a splash of color/design. If it is above your vanity, you could pin pictures, inspirations, etc....See MoreHelp my lounge room is a big beige blank canvas!
Comments (5)Hi Juliahocking - thanks for the ideas! Sorry I saw your comments on the weekend and then forgot to come back and update after I had moved the furniture around. I like the idea of moving the sofa and creating two separate spaces within the room. The problem is that the section of the room with the blank wall doesn't have a tv point so would need to get that installed. I moved one of the couches there to face the wall and it felt a little bit cramped, and the other section of the room seemed to have a lot of space to fill without the second couch. Is this what you meant? I found the photos from the real estate listing to show the previous owners set up, they might give a better indication of the space? We moved the TV to the corner because we didn't like it blocking the window, but i don't think the corner is ideal either. Do you think it would work to have a couple of chairs in the "dining" section of the room, or would that be strange to be facing to the back of the couch? Would love any ideas to make the windows prettier. I love the outlook but the brown screens and frames are not very attractive! Timandra Design and Landscaping - thanks! Will start my search for some large pieces of art and colourful cushions. Is it that rug you don't like, or just the idea of a rug in general in this room? I wasn't sure about a rug on top of carpet but thought it could be a good way to break up the space and add some colour. I am planning to return that rug on the weekend and continue my search! I agree I love the green outlook and it is really nice to lie on the couch and look out (while wondering how to set up the room!) :)...See MoreBlank canvas - garden ideas needed.
Comments (6)Hey there Ruth BT, thanks for opening up to the Houzz community for some ideas. It's a tough one when you have so many options to choose from. It sounds like you need a convertible space and some room to move/change things up. Have you considered perhaps some high quality synthetic turf, with some feature trees and lower planters or climbing plants to compliment? Maintains a modern look, without overdoing the coastal theme. Shade sails are also a great way to provide shade while plants are growing in, without compromising the style of your home or breaking the bank. Hope these suggestions spark some ideas - we're looking forward to seeing the end result!...See Moreminipie
