Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Nov 10, 2013 10:37 am Hi Everyone. I am so stuck on my feature wall in the entrance of our house. I want it to say WOW when you come in. I really wanted to find a wallpaper of a busy degraves street in B&W or something to do with Melbourne. (i love my city) But then I came across this. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It is a massive decision and I am no good at colour schemes Our house is a Henley Monaco Q1. the pic below is an old picture when we built. It will be going on the wall with the garage door on it. A nice long hall table and a feature light.

I'm not an arty farty 4Nov 10, 2013 12:59 pm Some say "feature" walls are de rigueur - others that it is old fashioned. But - maybe just a different shade of what you have elsewhere - ie lighter or darker. Its amazing what this can do - and how shadow affects it. Re: House Entrance Feature wall ideas. I'm not an arty farty 5Nov 11, 2013 5:55 am I have used those landscape wallpapers before. One word of advice: to me, they only look good head on. When you see it from the side, light glare ruins the effect. Also, would you really want to put a hall table up against this? I would want it to be a large piece of art that stops you for a moment, to take in the feeling. I'm not sure it would be best showcased on that long wall. 19.03.14 - Land Settlement 15.04.14 - Building Permit 28.04.14 - Earthworks 14.05.14 - Slab Stage 20.05.14 - Frame Stage 11.06.14 - Lock Up Stage 03.07.14 - Fix Stage 15.08.14 - New Home Presentation Re: House Entrance Feature wall ideas. I'm not an arty farty 6Nov 11, 2013 8:59 pm That would be a rather overwhelming feature to have. If that's what you're going for then great... What about a more standard lovely slim console table with a beautiful big mirror or a few framed pictures above it, and some pots etc next to it? Too conventional?

That's why i wanted to feed off so I don't go out spend all the money and I end up approaching it the wrong way. I saw this print and loved it. Even if i get it framed as artwork rather then the whole wall. Get the slimline hall table, nice subtle lamp with a couple of pots for colour. I do have wedding, travels and family pictures on the other wall. Re: House Entrance Feature wall ideas. I'm not an arty farty 11Nov 14, 2013 10:33 pm Oooh yeah textured wallpaper! Great idea. Love it. Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65085 Re: House Entrance Feature wall ideas. I'm not an arty farty 12Nov 16, 2013 10:16 am oohhh didn't think of textured wall paper! That would be so much better and still give the same wow factor. Now to find somewhere that has textured wallpaper. I have narrowed down 2 hall tables. I think if i choose the table first and then choose the wall to suit. They are the same just different shade.

I'm not an arty farty 14Nov 16, 2013 9:52 pm Yes I would suggest wallpaper - textured or otherwise. My personal preference would probably lean towards non textured but it's personal choice and depends on the overall feel you are trying to achieve. As for an image possibly not being suitable due to it not being 'head on' and not being able to take it in properly - depends what is opposite that wall. If it is a living area or some other area where you can sit and admire the image head on - or you would walk towards the image from that room and therefore it would be 'head on'... then it could most definitely work. If it is just a walkway and nothing else, then maybe it is something to reconsider based on the comments mentioned in the previous posts. Don't rule it out though - I think if it is something that you like the idea of, just think more about how it could work or how it would look from different angles. Good luck with whatever you decide. Re: House Entrance Feature wall ideas. I'm not an arty farty 15Nov 17, 2013 3:36 pm I agree with the others, I don't think a landscape wallpaper would work in that space. I like the idea of a textured wallpaper though.
