The One Wall That’s Giving Me A Big Challenge In Our Bedroom

The recliner goes on this nook by the inexperienced dresser. The bench has already been reupholstered and put within the lobby of the bed room suite. So I’ve been giving numerous thought to what I need to do with the wall behind the recliner.

You’ll be able to see that the one huge concern with this wall, and that space specifically, is the breaker field. I made a decision to maintain it there and reside with it reasonably than paying some huge cash to have it moved to a different spot in the home. It’s really a really handy place for fast and easy accessibility, so whereas I initially hated the thought, I’ve come round to it.

In any case, it’s over within the nook, so it’s out of the best way and never within the direct line of sight when an individual enters the room. And I’ve had it in my thoughts that I can simply cowl it with a big piece of art work and probably even put that piece of art work on hinges in order that it “opens” like a cupboard door to entry the breaker field.

However the extra I’ve tried to plan, I’ve realized that I didn’t actually suppose this by way of very effectively. I missed one huge concern on that wall — it’ll have an enormous, rectangle TV above the dresser. And I can’t actually get enthusiastic about having an enormous rectangle TV above the dresser, after which having one other huge rectangle piece of art work masking the breaker field.

And that led me to the thought of getting a wall-mounted bookshelf that solely covers the wall above the chair rail. I don’t suppose I can set up any sort of particular person cabinets since the entire thing will must be simply moved if I have to get to the breaker field. It must be one entire unit that I can nonetheless probably set up on hinges. So I’m questioning if one thing like this could work…

In fact, I can’t discover something that’s large enough for that house, so if I am going with this concept, I’ll need to construct it myself. If I construct it myself, I’m unsure if I can really pull off that curved prime. I’ll have to do a little analysis and see precisely how that’s executed.

In order that’s the path I’d like to go together with this nook, however I simply can’t appear to work out the main points. I really feel like if I construct it myself, I’m proper again to having an enormous rectangle in that spot. The great factor is that at the very least the cabinets would add dimension and I might add some ornamental objects to the cabinets in order that it doesn’t learn as simply one other rectangle on the wall subsequent to the TV. However there’s additionally the problem of how it may be held on the wall in a approach that I can have easy accessibility to the breaker field with out having to unload cabinets and bodily take away the whole factor from the wall with a purpose to entry the breaker field.

Inform me your ideas and concepts on this. Do you suppose it’s doable?

UPDATE: I’ve usually mentioned that solutions to my very own questions typically work themselves out in my thoughts as I write my weblog posts. Quite a lot of my posts actually are simply my stream of ideas as I’m making an attempt to work by way of points, and I deliver y’all alongside on as I’m working by way of these issues. And the entire technique of writing out my ideas might be very useful in working by way of these points. It’s nearly like writing my ideas faucets into a special a part of my mind that helps me work by way of issues another way than simply fascinated about them.

And as I wrote the above, after which acquired to the tip of the publish, it turned apparent to me that the problem isn’t the breaker field space. The problem is that I’m making an attempt to make use of a Samsung Body TV as my start line. I assumed it will be good to have a Body TV in order that it could actually look extra like art work and fewer like a TV, however I really suppose that’s the mistaken choice as a result of then the Body TV eliminates the obvious and best answer for masking the breaker field, which is to cowl it with a big piece of art work.

I feel one of the best answer can be to permit the TV to appear to be a TV and simply body it like I’ve framed our earlier wall-mounted TVs. However this time, I’d in all probability construct a a lot smaller profile body than I’ve constructed prior to now.

However the framed TV, which really appears like a TV and doesn’t fake to be art work, has labored out very effectively in our breakfast room/sitting room…

It labored simply tremendous in our earlier bed room…

And it labored out in my studio…

None of these are pretending to be art work, however the body provides it a clear look and hides the ugly aspect view of the wall-mounted TV.

So if I do that very same factor within the bed room, and abandon the thought of making an attempt to make the TV appear to be art work then I can return to the best and most blatant concept of hiding the breaker field with a big piece of art work. I simply copied and pasted the TV from our breakfast room onto this wall, and I wouldn’t need such a thick body on this room, however this could be the overall concept. And as a substitute of portray this one white, I might even do a light-weight stained wooden end in order that it doesn’t demand fairly a lot consideration.

After which I might even grasp smaller art work across the one huge (hinged) piece that covers the breaker field to create a sort of gallery wall on that aspect of the wall. I feel this is perhaps the best way to go. I don’t actually need a TV that appears like art work, and utilizing our present TV and constructing a body for it will save me about $1000 since these Body TVs are fairly costly. In fact, I’d lose out on cabinets to carry my books, however I’ve different locations the place I can retailer my books, in order that’s not an enormous deal.

Okay, these are all of my ideas and concepts for this wall. Let me know your ideas.
