Ideas for empty 12’ Wall

613 Views 8 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  TRD_Power
Hey all - I have a 12’ wall in my basement that I’m looking to fill with something - pictures, art work, etc.. It leads to a living area like a man cave to give you an idea. Attached is a picture. I thought of hanging floating shelves but wanted to see some other thoughts. Thanks!

PS the ceiling is not messed up like it looks lol

Re: Ideas for empty 12’ Wall

I've got a couple guitars (1 acoustic, 1 electric), a violin, and a harp decorating an 8' wall (I could easily space them out to fill 12' of wall)

On the 12' wall opposite I have a huge antique looking map.


Maybe put in a built in bookcase, themed book cases usually turn out pretty cool. My folks had a large wall in their old place that we built a combo bookcase and dart board / trophy case on. If you're a drinker type, you could do a bookcase that displays wines, cool glasses, or various bottles, etc. I collect leather bound books that I plan to put on a built-in type bookcase eventually. DVD's/BluRay bookcases might work in a man cave too.

I had a wall that I wanted to paint with bullet holes and blood stains but my wife didn’t want to live in a crime scene.

I have seen large murals, in wall paper form, that you can apply to it.

Or paint your own "Mona Lisa" on it.

Even saw one once where they had hung a dozen or so Toilet Seats, with lids, and placed the Grandkids pictures in them.

Lift the lid to see the pictures.

You are only limited by your imagination.

You are only limited by your imagination and level of uniqueness you want.

I'd either go with a series of frames pictures in various sizes, a sideboard in the middle, a potted fiddle leaf fig on one side, and a couple hurricane candle holders on the other. Another option instead of the series of smaller pictures would be 2-3 large paintings that blend together, and maybe a couple sconces on both sides (if you're up to wiring).

Couple pics to show what I'm talking about, sort of. Obviously different paintings, and no couch.
