Need Help With Accent Wall Opinions
Comments (9)Hello, Have you considered an electric fireplace? Touchstone makes some really nice wall mounted ones. The flame and heater work independently so you can use them all year round. They are energy efficient too. Take a look: cracklefireplaces.com/product/touchstone-sideline-elite-60-recessed-electric-fireplace/ Touchstone Sideline Elite Touchstone Chesmont Carl Crackle Fireplaces...See MoreI need help with a wall color and trim color for my kitchen.
Comments (3)I would consider the decor color of the adjoining room for a nice flow. Can you post a wider photo? If it’s a small space, wallpaper could give it some personality....See MoreNeed help with exterior wall
Comments (9)The pictures are too far out to tell anything in detail. If you are going to leave the wall, covering it with stucco of the same house color would really stand out - in a negative way aesthetically. Also, no matter what you do, the water issue should be resolved beyond tuckpointing (waterproofing is not a solution here). I would assume that the top is not capped properly (if at all) and the sidewalk area cannot drain properly, so water is sitting and entering the wall to deteriorate the mortar. I would be inclined to just remove it entirely. It looks like glazed CMU to match the house banding, but the house's lower part of the "water table" looks like split face CMU, so the horizontal lines and vocabulary do not even match. If you were to cover the wall with a stucco to match the dark grey color, you still have to prep and repair the wall as a good substrate....See MoreNeed help/advice filling wall space PLEASE :)
Comments (7)Art takes time to find and collect. Don't just buy generic stuff to fill empty walls. Wait to find those pieces that "speak" to you. You could certainly do "big art" on all those walls ... if that was your style and preference. Also "art" isn't just paintings, you can find an amazing wallpaper to cut and frame or an architectural piece (sign, carving, sculpture, etc) to display. You can also collect smaller pieces and make a gallery wall. Start with a few pieces and add to the gallery over time as you find and/or can afford new pieces. A collection of something ... Old advertising posters ... Eclectic mix of collectibles ... Asian wood carvings ... I have a large 5 ft x 5 ft antique one that I don't have a good wall to hang it on! Macrame art? Gallery with a narrow theme ... Gallery with an eclectic theme ......See Morelisase
