What can I do with an akward space above my kitchen sink?

Colleen, are you just wanting something to hang on the wall? Or are you thinking of storage? I bought this sign for our lake house at Hobby Lobby for, gosh I think I paid maybe $20. Love it and it looks good over the sink.

Put a couple of floating shelves there.

You could build or put a shelf there. Then you could put supplies, plants, or display items you enjoy. If you don't like that idea, you could build a back splash using tiles, contact paper, etc. Dollar Tree also has great wall art stickers you could put in that space - inspirational words, art, etc. Framed artwork would go nicely there as well.

A pretty picture, tile mosaic, shelf going across the space with plants, colored glass jars or pretty soup tourine.

Maybe a smal decorative shelf. 😊 Or just add a tension bar and some curtain for some color.

Add a floating shelf or use a small rod to hang baskets from. Or put up a picture!

You could hang a picture with an outdoor scene there with perhaps some kind of curtain to make it look like you still have a window? Or perhaps an attractive shelf?

I would put a decorative mirror in this spot or a shelve for plants that need very little sunlight

Put a shelf up to hold your cookbooks, spices or small vases/plant.

How about a decorative shelf or decor like the picture above.

Hang a mirror.......you can even get one that looks like window panes. Not a window but will add depth and reflect light into the room.

I'd put a great hanging lamp...

I totally agree with Vivian! I've moved MANY times and in most of those houses, I had a window above the sink. However, my last house (and now condo) had/have a blank wall just like yours. In both cases, I hung a mirror.

Your "eye" doesn't just stop at a wall, anymore, but goes "into" the mirror creating depth and also bounces some light around the kitchen. Try it and see for yourself - once you've had a mirror up for a few days, then take it down (as an experiment), you'll be AMAZED at the difference a mirror can do!!

Take a measurement and pop in a dollar store. If the frame is unattractive, simply apply one or two coats of ordinary, cheap craft paint. I tend to go a few shades darker than my existing wall color, however, in my last house, I found a muted metallic framed mirror at Home Sense (Home Goods/USA) that was perfect. The sheen on the frame caught the light at night and added a bit of life and shine to what was an ordinary dead-looking wall. The metallic color also picked up the "silver" look of the stainless steel stove and sink.

Take a old window frame, put small lights around the edge in the back. You have a plug that you can plug them into. Now get some curtains to your liking and hang them on your "window"

A little metal and glass shelf with fresh herb pots? Or to give you the "window you lack: an old window painted with a pleasing outdoor scene.

hang a floating shelf then add little plants they sell in marshalls michaels or some canusters

This is the perfect spot for art- your child's, grandchild's could go here, or a framed print in a subject you are interested in. Nature photography would be good here as well.

I have had this very problem and I did the window frame idea. I found old windows people were throwing out and picked them up or you might be able to get one at a thrift store. I then painted the frame white and distressed it. I attached a small shelf underneath for herb plants or decorative jars etc. I have a cow theme in my kitchen so I took an old cow calendar removed the pics I liked( window had 6 panes of glass) I placed a picture in each pane using construction paper behind it. Tape or small nails, staples to hold them in, hung it up added a valance and it's beautiful. Get lots of compliments and now it's like I'm looking outside when I do my dishes.

use combination of small mirrors and special plates....the mirrors give dimension to the space,

You might want to put a mirror in this empty space. It make your space appear a bit larger too.
