(second message attempt, not sure first posted) Exquisite taste in interiors! I have a hard to describe issue, but it’s driving me insane so here goes … in my living room I have a gorgeous wall of huge windows with a beautiful view of greenery. However. The wall opposite is a big boring blank white wall. I can’t add shelves or furniture because my dining table is placed pretty close to the wall, but also abhor gallery walls … how can I make it as beautiful and interesting as the wonderful windows?

Ooooh love this!

My first instinct: giant framed wallpaper scene. You can do the whole wall (looks great) but I also really like when you make a border for it out of moulding so that it looks more like a giant piece of art, like this one. If you're renting, you can even do peel and stick.

Other ideas:

Wall of mirrors, either trimmed out or just the whole wall or bunches of rectangles, normal or antiqued (can you tell I'm really into mirrors right now, ever since I saw this article in WoI. Okay one more, how sick is this with the lighting and the picture rail, I'm obsessed with Adam Bray.)

Just trimmed out, either classic style or something more mod.

Okay this is kinda rogue, but what about a whole wall of pleated curtains? Adds a lot of texture, can visually warm up rooms where there's a lot of glass, easy to swap out for different looks for different seasons, v dramatic.

I know you don't like gallery walls, but what about like, two (or three, dimension depending) really big pieces of art? (Note, vintage stores are great for finding these kinds of things)

Perhaps a tapestry / fabric piece? Or if you want just texture, how cool would an antique lace runner look framed? (maybe consider building the frame yourself to keep costs reasonable)

Okay I know you said no shelves but what about like, very narrow shelves? Like, slightly wider than a glass shelves? Like the top of this built in bar width shelves. For styling, I would go thrifting and grab as much crystal and little silver bits as you can find and put it up there, possibly with some cool lighting underneath?

Hope something there gives you an idea! Keep me updated on what you decide to do, and let me know if you have any further thoughts!

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?
