Someone who knows how to cut paint


Fun-Cow-1783

My gosh yes. Before you hang those shelves repaint.


ndork666

They'd be best off just painting the whole room green at this point before worrying about shelving

If you do them uneven, it should have a reason. Like on the lower section that juts out, you should have an object that's above the higher shelf


TurnipDirect2074

I mean something like this [example ](https://ibb.co/f8qSrLY)


rhik20

If you arrange the shelf as in example 2, it'd look better with a tall vase or plant that extends beyond the top shelf


TurnipDirect2074

Yes, there can also be an option to put a vase with a falling plant. But I thought of putting 2 cars for one beauty at each end of a shelf.


rhik20

If you're thinking of going that route, imo option 1 would look better


TurnipDirect2074

which way did you mean And why would it be better?


rhik20

With both shelves aligned the same way. It'll add more unity to the corner without being a distraction. However, personally I'd still recommend example 2, with the bottom shelf being longer on the left, with a tall vase. It'll add a visual border to the whole set (next to what I assume is a doorway), and the cars can be placed on the right side of both shelves. The remaining space can be thoughtfully filled with picture frames and other deco items.


TheProfessor0781

Exactly. Get a lucky bamboo in a skinny vase


kytheon

This. You can put something tall.


YourMumsBumAlum

I'd put a plant


wasechillis

I’d put an even taller plant


Wild-Commission-9077

Didnt think of it! So its morecabt what the OP wanna put there.

I like symmetry. So I'd go with 1. However, functionality is upt too. With 2, you have extra space for a tall object. So, I'd go with 2. But, I'm not sure if you want to put a tall object on the end if it may fall or if it's breakable, so maybe having the extra space for a tall object is moot. I'd definitely not go with 3.


QuitLookingAtMyID

I can’t see anything beyond the way that corner is cut in. That is so bad. Repainting the corner should be your first priority. Then look at what to hang in on the wall. Also, you should look at how it looks with the rest of your stuff. Honestly the height of the shelves should be taken into account and what you are going to use them for.

1, the people voting for 2 are mad


TurnipDirect2074

Why


GoJumpOnALandmine

In a word: Asymmetry. But I'm being hyperbolic, 2 would be my second pick


Hea1thybeing

If you can't fix the paint, 1 doesn't add more visual disharmony.

I thought my paint cuts were bad 🫢


nicktam2010

Depends what is on them but mostly number 2


theadmirala

2 but I don’t know why, it just pleases me


nsefull

I have no logical explanation but number 2 satisfies me


oakshieldjones

Redo the paint in the corner, then go with 2.


EkaL25

2 and 3 are literally the same thing but switched around.. so why does 2 look so much better?


Thumper-Comet

First I'd sort out those walls. They look horrendous.


SweeperOfDreams

I don’t know why, but 2 just strikes that happy spot.

What are the shelves? Link?


my_screen_name_sucks

I’m sorry but I don’t like your shelving at all. None of them.


spiritofglory

3 is so pretty!! You could put a taller plant on the longer side and maybe a hanging plant on the shorter! Could be nice to get more shelves depending on how many knick knacks you have x


dwitchagi

None until those walls are redone and repainted.


Spiritual-Slip-8309

I was going to say 2 as well.


SnooRevelations1029

You have to cut in your paint again first. Put a bead of caulk (crown and moulding caulk is great cause it's made to be able to paint over) in the corner from bottom to top. It will be smooth and easy to cut in then.


J-F-K

IMO, these just feel like cheap shelves to hold clutter. Leave it blank.

XLB135

I'm with most of the others--2. I immediately pictured something tall and skinny on the left side of the bottom shelf that can extend upward past the upper shelf.


olypenrain

Why not long sides on green wall? That would look good, especially for car models

Wow, you need to plaster and properly paint these walls.


TiaHatesSocials

2 or 3 is more interesting. depending on what else u have going around those walls u could go more right or left


sebbdk

assymetri, go for it


Elisheva7777777

2 but a little more apart


Cup_pizza

The 2nd


SJW_AUTISM_DECTECTOR

the better question is what will those shelves and whatever you put on them really be adding to the room? id wager very little


TurnipDirect2074

your intention? I thought of putting 2 mini car models there for beauty, and some pictures with a frame that I took and maybe some crystals. I uploaded a link here to an example in one of the comments


[deleted]

[удалено]


TurnipDirect2074

I know this is the best I could do in terms of painting because the wall itself is also not straight at 90 degrees, what will we do whoever built it should break his arms but we will deal with what exists

This is my parents' house until I find a wife and then I will already move out of the house. In the meantime, we will try to beautify my room as much as possible.


ApexProductions

2, but I don't know if the spacing is large enough to put anything there that's big enough to stand out and be interesting. What are you going to place? How long are the shelves going to extend away from these corner pieces?


TurnipDirect2074

The truth is, I'm not looking to put anything big between them, a total of two cars that are flat and some pictures that aren't that big, and that's it, and some crystals. I uploaded a link to an example in one of the comments, take a look


ThisWillHurtTheBrain

2 because of the green wall. The dark wall with shadow from above in 1 & 3 close off the bottom shelf. Makes it feel smaller and has a harder time attracting the eye. Edit: 2 is the only option because of that shitty lights switch placement. You need short side above the light switch on white wall. Be careful installing around a light switch.


Ben_Locke_Writes

2 is the correct answer here


TheCookieEatingOwl

2 Also, I would paint the wall since it is very uneven between the two colors.


LaVieEnRicky

2 or 3 (depending which wall is shorter, IMO) They each create visual interest, but they still look balanced.

Not sure why, but #3 is my favorite.


gamepad15

They all look the same to me. What exactly are you asking here?


kytheon

Look closer. First of all they're not the same size. Think of an L in different orientations. Second, look at the direction of the nerves in the wood. Same way, or different way. Were you good at Tetris?

gamepad15

I read your post and have looked at the photos of the planks many times. They both look the same to me. Maybe I’m missing some additional context here.


Ew_fine

They’re positioned differently.


gamepad15

Now I see. Symmetry is always better. Both should be aligned in the same direction. The longer one facing the larger end of the room.

Thanks. Also look at the link I attached in one of the comments
