    Hi @doretta5935 ! Thanks for the photo! How exciting, what a great canvas to work with. I love the wooden beam — and that your ceilings are so tall. As such, I'd try to find something tall to put on the right side of your console to balance it out and draw the eye upward. Maybe a floor length mirror or potted tree?

    Are you allowed to paint in your space?

    yes this is my home. The color in the picture does not look like it does in person much nicer. Why did you ask?

    So a tree or mirror and get rid of containers? I was just thinking a picture but not sure of size or if it should go vertical or horizontal

    Why thank you ! How did you do that? Would you beable to do that if I send you a picture of a picture I like. I would like to see the difference with a picture and the one you just did. Thank you

    I like the idea of a large plant. You might also consider a gallery wall of art, with a low bench to the right of the console. Alternatively, a tall bookcase would look nice in the space as well.

    i second a tall bookcase! even a big antique cabinet in some sort of dark wood finish could look really nice

    it can backfire to think "have to fill that space" and then it looks just like a filled purposeless space.

    Would you consider solving the visual imbalance by replacing the console with sleek wall unit the entire length of that wall. Now you can add height and actually use the shelves.

    Nice looking area, good luck!

    Id say an oversize art print myself (loving art) that way you can swap it over if you need to bring a different energy to the space…

    Lovely space @doretta5935! I agree that either a bookcase and tall plant or a console table with gallery wall and tall plant would balance this space nicely. It’s not so much a question of “filling the space” but rather balancing the wright of the tv and tv stand on the left side.

    I would buy (and they can be quite cheap) a bunch of different size prints - an odd size makes for a more balanced aesthetic. So (looking at your pic) I would say 5, 2 smaller and 3 larger ones. You don't have to set the out as a square but make a shape that suits the wall space. I personally wouldn't use strong colours but keep them muted.

    I love the ficus! This combined with the gallery seems like a really good idea

    Is mounting the TV an option? If so, I'd do just that and replace the TV cabinet with something more minimalist to free up some space.
