| Picture shelves with layered art can eat up an empty wall and turn it into fabulous! |
Recently I had a client ask me what to do with the dead space of a vaulted ceiling. She had a very tiny window on that wall which just made the wall feel bigger and emptier. My first thought was a bigger window, but that is not always an option, so I went onto the wonderful world of web to find solutions and perhaps some inspiration. I thought I'd share some of the ideas I found.

| There was something about this image that caught me, although I'm not certain it is great design, it does seem to address the issue of dead wall space and the punches of blue bring the space to life! What do you think?? |

A simple stacking of wall shelves and some closed cabinetry at the base makes for an easy but highly effective storage/design solution for an otherwise awkward shaped wall.

A collage of various sized frames can be arranged in an artistic and balanced manner on large walls. The effect can be amazing. A great idea here is to incorporate family photos or photos from travel. A little creativity can go a long way.

Here is another effective way of utilizing the space of a vaulted ceiling. It is a clever design to have the doors and fireplace become a part of the wall design rather than separate entities.
Balance, scale and continuity are all important in dealing with a blank canvas of wall. Many elements can be incorporated, but the wall should be treated as a whole, so any windows, door, mantles, etc. all become the part of one big picture. With some creativity and planning your dead wall can be transformed into a beautiful feature wall.
