In the foyer, living room, bedroom, or in front of an empty wall, the adaptable console table is always welcome. Instead of leaving it empty, arrange the art frames in a stack for your visitors to browse or attach them directly over the console. 

You may even scatter beautiful planters and elegant lanterns on the table, but not all of them at once. Thus, consoles have the ability to produce a “moment” that compels you to pause and gaze!

Inventive vegetation provides fragrant freshness in addition to being visually pleasing! Given that nature is being embraced into more and more areas of society, a green wall is unquestionably a “blooming” choice for a blank wall. The easiest technique is to plant a few climbers in a dip at the base of the wall and allow them “creep up” to cover your wall in a lush green jacket.

To give depth and colour to these creepers, grass or flowering plants may be added. These may be integrated using basic wall-mounted planters or more advanced hydroponic systems. But according to House Beautiful, it is smart to consider all options before deciding on a living wall.

We like having bookshelves brimming with fantastic tales that transport us to far-off places. What better way to decorate a wide blank wall than to place a classy bookshelf there?

Traditional antique bookshelves are timeless classics because of their elaborate frames and open shelves. Add a sliding ladder to a floor-to-ceiling library for a bookcase that seems like it belongs in a Thomas Hardy story.
