How would you decorate this wall?
We’ve recently moved into our newly built home. We have a long wall - approximately 5 metres long - that runs in front of our kitchen and dining room and I have no idea how to decorate it. The obvious choice would be some kind of art work, but I’d like something unique and/or different. We have high, raked ceilings in this open plan area. Any suggestions?

How would you keep all your bags?
Comments (4)Here are a couple moore ideas. I like that the brightly colored collection adds to the decor in the first one. The second one is great if you have room to hang them in on the rod. Simple shower curtain rings would do the trick....See MoreKitchen Decor & Lighting
Comments (14)Beautiful clean modern kitchen! You have a great opportunity to put your personal stamp on the space with a unique backsplash. As you've heard already there are some different approaches. I'd probably place the backsplash up to the wall cabinets and up to the base of the hood. Then continue the backsplash at the same height (18"?) behind the sink. Then place an inspiring colorful picture above the sink to break up the wall. Here's a picture with pendants that aren't too obtrusive. Having multiple levels of lighting at different lumens makes a more inviting feel to the space. I couldn't decipher your flooring, but you may also want to consider adding some nature elements like a type of wood flooring, wood stools, etc. Good luck!

Comments (13)Kind of funny really how many people would feel exposed and would not want to use the bathroom. The more I think about it, it's a bit like a public restroom with stalls (as stall walls rarely go to the ceiling or floor and have the added issues of gaps between the wall panels and doors -- which thankfully we won't have!). Regarding the humidity control issue, I should have clarified this is only for a toilet and small hand basin (not a full bathroom with shower). The main room on the other side of the proposed toilet is our dog whelping room where we will have young litters of puppies (when we have them). Further down the hall, removed from this room, is our training room where there are likely to be other visitors but the proposed bathroom would be quite removed from that area. It would be wonderful to find more windows like the ones that are up near the ceiling! That would certainly solve the issue. I'll have to scour the demolition/restoration places....See MoreChanging interior layout but would love advice!
Comments (9)Thanks very much for all your feedback. Just to answer a few queries - the deck is directly outside the main room so the new doors open out onto it. The doors won't be French - they're just the only doors that the 3D planner I'm using had, they'll actually be large stacking doors. I've had another idea too which would be a lot more expensive but offers a completely different approach. This is quite rushed so doesn't show accurate layout of kitchen or anything like that, basically just provides an idea. Thoughts!?...See More

last yearI like Sue’s wallpaper idea, or you could try something structural. The metal ring screenshot doesn’t do it justice, I’m sorry, but I’ve seen something like it irl, and it looked great. You could do something similar with plates/hats/your collectibles… Google search the wavy wall, if that interests you, as there are companies that create the material they’re made from. The timber wall could be as fancy as this one, or even a diy with battens, planking or even timber trim. You could use finely sliced stone, too. And depending on space, narrow floating shelves would also look great. Good luck
