Large blank space in stairway
Mush 01

I've recently moved in to a new house and we have a very large blank wall in the stairway.
I'd really like a large mirror on the wall but I don't know what style would look best.
Does anyone have any suggestions or links to anything that would look great here?

Open plan living-blank canvas. Colour + warmth needed!
Comments (17)I love the idea of the duck egg blue and yellow adding a pop of colour to the white. I'd play it up a bit more and go for deep and bold jewel tones of teal, sapphire, plum and burgundy, mixed with a few of the more delicate neutral pillows you have. I think little pops of gold would do nicely with the jewel tones and match the yellow you already have. I'd definitely continue the idea of the sheepskin throw and maybe introduce a similar rug to bring some warmth and texture to the floor -perhaps a warmer beige. I think large black and white photographs of your preference would go nicely on the blank wall -perhaps flanked by some floating bookshelves to showcase any decorations that might bring more warmth and personality to the room....See MoreStairway to hell.
Comments (8)Hello, You are right, you could have a mirror on the wall to make your space look bigger and brighter or why not hang framed photos? Your conversion also depends on Styles you like or how you wish to combine them. For example I very much like Scandinavian style or Rustic combined with Contemporary Style. Which are your favourites? Also, you could add a lamp or some great light installation can be also the solution to get more light to your space. How about some cool Wallpaper? Good luck with your Project!

Comments (5)It's hard to help really as it's really based on your personal wardrobe requirements. i would just look at your current wardrobe assuming the type of clothes you have is unlikely to change much in the near future depending on your work, lifestyle, hobbies etc. Calculate how many long hanging items you have versus blouse/shirts/trousers etc. Then look at the number of items you store in drawers, you may want bigger drawers for jumpers versus small ones for underwear. Also look at the number of shoes, boots, hats, handbags etc if you want to store those here. Is there also hanging space needed for ties, belts etc? Or a shelf for bed linen etc? It sounds quite tedious calculating it all but worth doing so the storage works for you. i wouldn't use wardrobe space for a dressing table especially when you have space in the room. You could have mirror/s on the outside of the long wall, it will make the room feel wider. Many people choose to paint wardrobes in the wall colour so they blend into the walls, you could maybe choose a wallpaper for the the dressing table wall?...See Moreliving room help on blank wall space
Comments (3)Choosing art is a very personal thing. I have a couple of generic suggestions that would work in the space - a large mirror in a nice frame or a gallery wall with black and white photos of family and friends in random frames purchased from charity/second hand shops. An easy art project would be buying a large canvas, taping a chevron pattern on it and painting it black, white and gold (or alternative colours to suit)....See More

9 years agoNot really, but sort of as I no longer own the house or the piece of art, but I do still have a version of it... What I am going to post is a landscape crop (that sits on my wall) from a full sized photo, that I have just turned 90 degrees. The photo I actually used was a vertical crop from the original file that showed less width and more depth, i.e lots more beach from foreground to background, but this is just a serving suggestion. Find some art you like and bear in mind that this is just one opinion and that opinions are like....

9 years agoWe also love the idea of wall murals, especially ones from Surface View (you can get them straight from the company or from John Lewis). Something bright and colourful that will change the dynamic of the place, and then place a large elegantly placed centrally, such as this one from CoxandCox.co.uk

9 years agoHi Mush, just another style that might be worth you considering... A montage of mirrors, prints and pictures. When done well this can look very stylish and on an awkward wall space like yours it can be a great solution and will break up the space nicely. Below are images of some great examples, I particularly love a collection of antique and new frames together. Hope this helps!

9 years agoA wallpaper would look great. Although I appreciate the stairway is bigger than yours, the photos attached shows how paper can change the look completely. I've attached both the before and after. If you choose a paper with a bit of a sheen, it will lighten the stairway.
