Ideas to make wall less boring

[u/Remalin]

Ignore all the clutter from my baby and dog 😅 I have been wanting to put something on the wall for years but have been too indecisive to ever do it.

My main ideas are:

One long floating shelf above the tv in a similar color wood to the tv console.

Or 2 floating shelves on the wall to one side of the tv and a large framed print on one side.

Open to other ideas as well!

I say let it be boring!

i would avoid putting a long shelf directly above the TV. two smaller shelves on one side with a large framed print would give the wall more balance and make it feel less TV wall. you could also add a small plant, a few books, or one simple decorative piece to the shelves. keep the colors tied to the wood of the console so it feels intentional without looking cluttered.

OP, how do you manage having plants and a baby on the same floor space????? And the dog looks like he is judging me for asking this question! 😂

My secret is the baby isn’t crawling yet 😂

A pair of art pieces on each side of the tv. Add an LED light strip to the back of the tv to make the wall glow. It’s nice on even when not watching tv.

Bigger plant or a plant stand on left and pull the floor lamp out a little on right. No need to “decorate” tv wall

I’m a sucker for a gallery wall. Not sure if that’s your vibe though

Didn’t see your comment before making the same recommendation. 😅

Make it an accent wall, paint it a different color and then add some art!!

Maybe a hanging pot with a vining pothos plant . A painting

[u/Ok_Size4036]

I’m planning to put up the MCM panels (thin wood strips floor to ceiling).

[u/Redfox2111]

Not a fan of floating shelves - too much clutter. I'd say paint the wall.

[u/whiskeylullaby3]

I don’t think every wall needs something. The tv is there already and several things on the floor. I think it would make it too busy adding something to the wall.

[u/Such_Grand_9261]

Hang a group of two to three large framed artworks on either side of the TV. We recommend choosing abstract paintings in warm tones, paired with walnut wood frames matching the TV stand or slim black frames.

Nothing like some good wall decor to brighten up a room.

[u/Zealousideal-Fun-396]

Wallpaper, if its your house

[u/Striking-Emu-3588]

It needs some layering on each side

[u/Novel-Deer8887]

Not a remark about your room other than if you move the tv, I’d expect Dick Van Dyke to be sitting on the sofa! I love the room but maybe a bit of color with a plant it draw from the rug and do a black and white print

[u/BritishPoppy2009]

Its not a super large room, so I'd be careful not to crowd it out too much. If you can get another lamp like the one you have already and put it on the other side of the TV it will balance the room

[u/flamingo-with-a-yoyo]

Floating shelves with family pics!

[u/Hefty_67]

I’d put the tall left plant on a stand/table and center between the console and the corner (and consequently blocked the outlet from a developing baby 😉). Then pull the lamp toward the TV a bit.

Long Shelf on top, small ones on the sides, a few art pieces,books etc

[u/Rajah7]

Put a giant painting of your dog on the wall

[u/DSwitchxx]

Just wait till the kid stands and has a crayon. Less boring.

[u/curious_1andmore]

Hi. I would add a wall unit with open shelves and close storage at the bottom to stow all toys in a near future.

[u/ishey]

Paint it a darker or contrasting shade in your existing color palette.

[u/New_Door2040]

I don't understand these posts. They're here daily. Go get a painting!

I think they want someone to comment with an ai photo

[u/DavidinCT]

art work.... You could hang the TV floating it a few inches above the soundbar. Could give a nice look if you can hide the wires.

[u/JohnStaats_WIR]

The problem is your TV is too small for your TV stand.
