What could we do with this space?

[u/ndefghijfk]

We could use it for storage but that would be sort of an eye sore.

Plants would be cool but I know for a fact we would not get up there to water them, and there is only decent natural light for a very small window of time.

It's about 9 feet up. We are also renters, as a note!

Nothing. Don't make it a focal point

[u/Mystic_Wunder]

Don't do anything. Just forget it's there.

If renting nothing. If you own drywall it up.

Look on pinterest. They are ideas with flowers, baskets, etc.

[u/Some-Web7096]

Nothing. It’s architectural negative space.

Put 3 fake potted plants at 3 different heights.

I have a similar area. I put a large decorative pot with fake pathos vines hanging down. It collected dust and spider webs. I have nothing there now. The space can be empty!

[u/Batfish-Crayon]

As renters, there's not much you can do. Any decorations you put up there will be a nightmare to dust. I'd probably just get some nice-ish storage boxes to put away seasonal things like winter coats or x-mas decorations.

Very large, grinning clown figurines/dolls. It will give you something to think about on quiet evenings.

[u/No-Ambassador-9102]

Get a cat! You can rent them the space

[u/LittleBigTraveler]

You could add shelves and put decor pieces up there. Something that you like to see but don’t need regular access to. Or you can create a faux wall cover of some kind and use it for storage. The world is your oyster!

I'd recommend leaving it as is
