What would you put on this wall?

Our small living room is nearly done, we just have wallpaper to go up on the TV wall and a few more cushions to add. But I'm having trouble deciding what to put on the small wall next to the doorway.
That corner is a little gloomy in the evening, so was toying with the idea of having art with lighting above that shines down onto the art? Or if that would be too busy, a couple of nice candle sconces?
Thanks in advance for any input!

What to put on walls in downstairs toilet - what do you have?
Comments (15)Hi Dynamo, I'm responsible for the design in your photo and delighted you like the look of this room. You would only need a few square meters of the split mosaic tiles which are available of sheets, so not expensive for a striking feature. Also, easy to keep free of dust with a quick once over with a dust pan brush, or brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner . WC's are often overlooked but when you consider its a room you use every day and your guests use too, why not make it an enjoyable experience! An alternative and very inexpensive idea for your walls and my signature in practically every home I renovate, is installing 6mm MDF panelling with a 10mm shadow gap in between each panel, apply with Pink Gripfil adhesive. 600mm x 600mm square or horizontal panels of any height add a sense of depth and soul to boring flat, painted walls. A sheet of MDF is cheap as chips, just make sure you prime and undercoat thoroughly with a mini roller before applying eggshell finish or acrylic paint. It's not a main bathroom so not susceptible to humidity, therefore emulsion paint in a contrast shade will work well too. To see an example of panelling on a larger scale (Wenge stained Oak veneered MDF), take a look at the sitting room wall in the Chelsea Harbour apartment featured on my profile page....See MoreWould you put a feature wall in this grey living room?
Comments (26)You like the idea of a feature wall, so take the advise from those who listened to you and replied with feature wall ideas, there are some really nice and a bit different wood effect wall papers, that would look good above and then just extended about 24" either side of your fire place, also the mirror could be just a little higher, the family photos you have would be better placed above the unit that your lamp is on, also pulled away from the corner about 3ft, your other wall art would look great placed above your sofa, but not the 2 flower one's, maybe try placing them one above the other on a narrow wall, and have your foot stall/pouffe underneath with a couple of cushions, almost creating a reading nook, good luck with what ever you choose to do...See Morewhat curtains would you put here
Comments (2)I would leave doors and windows as they are. I think they look best bare. To me it takes the wow-factor away when you add coverings. If you were overlooked of course there is the need for some, but not in your case by the looks of it....See MoreAdvice please: Smoked mirror splashback
Comments (5)Mirrors anywhere are great, as long as you are tidy ... any mess is doubled up instantly ! Yes the hob looks too close to the tall cabinet - and if there’s wall to left of sink - it’s a bit close to that too ( think elbow room)...See MoreUser
