My Sad, Dark Dining Nook Went from Bland to Grand Thanks to This Easy Hack

My apartment’s biggest eyesore also happens to be the first thing you see when you walk through the door: the dining nook. I know — I’m lucky to even have room for a dining table in Brooklyn. Sadly, though, the space had become a design afterthought. It’s the darkest corner of the apartment, and I live alone, so I don’t eat there often. Plus, the fact that I don’t have an entry means this area’s become a dumping ground for mail and packages. Beyond all of these issues, I’ve always felt the dining nook’s big, blank wall was in desperate need of some statement wall art.
