    Ahhh! I’ve never thought of the narrow table in between the wall and couch. That looks pretty neat! 🙌🏻

    Thank you for this! Great ideas. Personally I'm trying to transition my living room from a gallery wall style to more of the minimal 2-3 large pictures/ artwork style. And somehow fit a mirror in there as well. 😅

    • @VintageHipDecor

      The beauty is that we can all use our creativity to make our homes look however we want! I'm confident that you'll find a way to use some art and a mirror above you couch. Let me know how it turns out!

    I have a beautiful portrait (vertical) canvas that I want to put above my couch. I have not yet ordered the size. Can I put just one piece like that to one side? I am thinking 1/3 the width of the couch and hanging off-center. 4 inches above the couch? Great video! Thank you!

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  3 роки тому

      We do recommend trying to center items above your couch and aim for 2/3 scale like I mention in this part of the video 9:04 but if it looks good to you and you're happy with it, then go for it! You can always change it up again.

    Any recommendation on decorating walls above L shape couch 😢

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  3 місяці тому

      It depends on the rest of the space and whether you prefer more or less in your life, but a gallery wall on the biggest wall and a mirror or one or two simple pieces on the other side should balance things out. There is also nothing wrong with some blank space as well. I hope that helps!

    Thats the sort of content we sign up for ? Great recommendations. Love from pakistan. I have query that the photo wall should start 8 inches above sofa but how tall it can be for a small space npt to look overwhelming? I am asking about height? Is there any ratio with respect to wall height above sofa ?

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  11 місяців тому

      I would leave at least a foot of empty space above your wall hangings to the ceiling.

    I have sofa 73 inches in length, if I get a round mirror to go over it how big in diameter would the mirror need to be? And what else could I put on each side of it

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  3 роки тому

      Great question!! 48" would be 2/3 of the total length of your couch, so you could look for a mirror that is 48" in diameter. I did a quick google search for you, and they definitely make them in that exact size. If you did go with a 48" mirror, you would already have taken up 2/3 of the space above your couch like we talked about in the video, so you wouldn't have to hang anything else on each side of it, but if you still wanted too, you could go with a slightly smaller mirror and hang sconces on each side. Something tall and skinny that takes up about 2/3 of the height of the mirror. If that makes sense! I wish I could share photos right here in the comments so that I can share some inspiration pictures with you! I hope that was helpful! Find us on Instagram @vintagehipdecor if you would like to chat more about it.

    My sectional is the corner of the living room in front of a 10ft wall; while the sofa is 6ft long. Do I decorate the wall based on the length of the sofa or that of the wall? I would like to hang a mirror horizontally but if I hang it based on the sofa’s proportions, I would feel as if the mirror would be situated too much onto the one side of the room and would make the room appear off balanced. I have a tv stand that faces the other portion of the sectional.
    Do you have any other videos showing how to decorate behind sectionals?

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  Рік тому

      Great question! I would still center the mirror above that section of your couch, then put something tall at the end of the couch that will help take up space on the wall, but not necessarily be hanging on the wall. Like a tall plant or lamp. That will fill in the rest of the blank space, and not make things feel off balance. I hope that helps. I haven't made a video like that, but I will definitely consider it.

    • @eb9844
      @eb9844 Рік тому

      @@VintageHipDecor thanks for the response. The only problem with putting something tall is that it will block the view of the tv. It’s a bit of a small tight space. I also thought that by putting something on the wall, in addition to the mirror, will make everything appear off balance. Perhaps one big picture frame or several?!

    What do you do if you have a sectional against two walls in a small living room?

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  Рік тому +1

      Contrary to popular belief, a large sectional can make a small living room look larger. The key is to keep it the same or similar color to the walls it's against so it's much more subtle and doesn't just dominate the entire room. Keep in mind that your sectional should not be directly against the wall. Make sure there are at least a few inches of space between the furniture and the wall. We hope that helps!

    What if its a ledge what should be the distance from sofa?

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  2 роки тому +1

      That's a great question! You basically just want to make sure that the shelf or ledge doesn't interfere with anyone sitting on the couch. You don't want to hang it too high either so try to hang it closer to the couch, but high enough so that one bumps into it.

    I have a very large wall in my living room, and no clue how to decorate it best. Currently I have my sofa put against it.

    What about sectional sofa?

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  Рік тому

      You would treat it the same as a regular couch. Just focus on the area that's touching a wall. Hope that helps!

    • @VintageHipDecor
      @VintageHipDecor  2 роки тому +1

      That can potentially make a nice piece for behind a couch - depends on the shape. 👍

    Most people do overkill and looks a bit overwhelmed! Gallery wall is cheesy at best! On the other hand i can’t make up my mind on what I want! 💀

    • @VintageHipDecor

      There are so many options, so it can be hard to decide what to do, but I hope this sparked some inspiration with you!
