3 Ideas For Tackling a Murphy Bed Mystery

2

YumSugar's Susannah Chen recently asked the Assisted Living group for decorating advice:

After five years at the same place, I'm just getting around to really decorating. One huge conundrum: what to do with the little nook that houses my TV/entertainment station. It used to house a Murphy bed, and just looks a little barren and empty. I'm not quite sure what to do with it.

I thought about putting a framed picture above it, but that would compete with the television screen for attention. I thought about curtains, but wondered if that was cheesy. On top of that, I've got to wrangle with the two ugly rail tracks that it's left behind.

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!

These are incredible ideas! Thank so much for them all. I'm going to have to run them by my cohabitant, but I love the idea of raising the level of the TV (it's not mountable, but could at least be higher), then going to town with some cool temporary wallpaper, and installing those invisible shelves like you suggested. My currently bare walls thank you in advance!

I am on board with the shelving. With that amount of space you could up some amazing shelving. Make them all the full depth of the nook & make sure to make one high enough to house your TV. You can use it as a bookshelf, media center, and add some great decor.
