The last finishing touches desired for these two rooms involved wall decor.

These questions came in during my last Q&A with my Instagram Subscribers. Check out the recommendations I had for them, below.

Dining Room Wall Decor

In this dining room, that I’ve published before, the homeowner updated with window treatments, a rug, paint and art on the main back wall. It was a big job and frankly, she really is done and doesn’t have to go further.

However, she passed this candle sconce in a local store and thought it might work on the tall, narrow white wall space in this room.

It’s a nice candle sconce, but I think it is just too lightweight looking for that tall wall and I don’t really like how it protrudes out. I think that tall wall needs something stronger.

Here’s what I recommended.

I like a stack of three or even four of these pieces. These will add some texture and contrast to that white wall.

I also suggested that she put a leaf in the table to make it feel a little larger in the room. Then she could add some taller, more substantial table decor there to break up the brown wood.

Something like these vases in a group with a few branches or monstera leaves could make a nice statement here.

Guest Bedroom Needing Wall Decor and Lamps

This cute bedroom needed some wall decor too. The homeowner also wanted some pin-up style lamps to mount above the nightstand.

I like the cottage look here with the painted furniture and shiplap wall.

If I was going to do two pin-up lights, I’d want to do two nightstands and they could be a smaller width than what she had. She could then scoot the bed over a bit toward the window.

I like going with a wood tone on these nightstands, to contrast with the other painted furniture and add some warmth.

Rejuvenation Hardware has a lot of pin-up type lights and this fixture would fit nicely here as it has a narrow shade.

Then, above the bed, I’d hang two little landscape pieces of art. Click on the image for sources. :-)

Here’s how it looks all together. Very charming!
