HOW TO DECORATE A WALL ABOVE A CORNER TV

Hey friends!  Today is the day I tackle my wall above our corner TV.  It’s the only wall that I avoid.  What do you do to a corner TV wall ??  I am going to share with you what I did with my corner wall above my TV in case you might have the same problem.  If not, lucky you !!

Here are the obstacles that I have to work with; not only is it a corner, but I have the window on one wall with a little space of wall to work with.  On the other wall it’s pretty narrow.  AND…look at the light switch.  UGH!

I looked all over for inspiration and really a corner TV wasn’t that easy to find inspiring ideas.  I read a couple places for an awkward wall, gallery walls are the best option.  Hmm!  Alrighty then !!!  That’s what I am going to do.

First thing I need to do is to measure my wall, this will help to figure out how large and how many pieces I can use without it looking too crowded.  Once I took the measurements I shopped my home.  I am going to do this for zero dollars, won’t this be interesting?

When gathering my items I kept in mind the style and colors that are in my room.  Colors are not that important to me…y’all know me and the paint brush are besties. 🙂  I found the items that I want to go up on my walls.

Don’t look at the colors, I will be working my magic now that I have the pieces, I will make them all coordinate with each other.  Just like this….

Now placing it on the wall will be challenging, trying to work around this large beast.

When placing the first piece you normally want to add your anchor piece, but I wanted my sign centered.  I placed that on the wall first.

Trying to take eyes off the light switch, which I know…I know I can just change the switch to a more attractive piece, but remember I am shopping my home.  That might be an option down the road.  I am going to add my cathedral frame.  I placed that to the side of the TV.  It is just peaking out from behind the TV.

I started adding the other items.  I placed the T diagonally from the cathedral frame to mimic the shape.

It looked a little off balanced with the window on one side, I placed a vase with some sprigs to the side of the console.

I stepped back, nope didn’t like that.

I changed out the vase thinking that would look better.

I didn’t like that either.  In fact, I really didn’t like the wall. 🙁  I took the pieces I didn’t like and started shopping my home again.  I had two old thrift store frames I could use.  I took the back off and gave both a new coat of paint and did my dry brushing.  I moved the wood T to the small wall.

To one frame I added a colorful card stock, I just took the back of the frame and glued the paper to it and placed it back into the frame. With the other one I made a little wreath to add to the center of it.

Do you remember my little Clearance Challenge blog when I removed all the Easter items out of the pail?  If not you can go here CLEARANCE ITEM MAKEOVER.  I used that little wreath and a piece of greenery I saved that was falling apart.  I glued the greenery onto the wreath.

I like the look and will keep this one. 🙂  I am wanting some tall faux grass to place on the side of the console.  For now I placed my lantern there.

Placing things I have already on hand doesn’t mean I won’t change it.  When I am out shopping and see something with the right shape and style I can switch it out.  I have the foundation to find the items I LOVE.  The foundation is the hardest part of the whole process.  Now the foundation is done I can have fun finding pieces to replace the ones I really don’t love up on my wall.
