I'd like to incorporate some modern farmhouse touches to this wall in our living room? Any ideas?

    I like the blue wall. I would change just a few things. The way it is now, it seems your armchair is the focal point of the room.

    A simple idea could be move the armchair out of that place and add a nice sideboard or dresser between your bookcases. Then lower the mirror until its top is about 6 inches above the top of your sideboard.


    Here is an inspiration picture with that layout.

    Good luck!

    How about paint it a nice navy blue or dRker blue to accent the lighter blue then get a big picture

    Hello Alisa,


    Have you considered a shiplap accent wall?

    Some of the big box hardware stores in my area are now stocking the shiplap strip panels.
