Hi, I'm a big fan of modernism and abstraction and minimalism in design but also 50s retro (which is something of a contradiction, I know). I've designed my crappy little student-budget apartment around this but I'm stuck on one spot I have no idea what to do with. There's this wall that separates the living area from the bedroom and forms the back end of the closet. It's here:

I've been trying forever to figure out what the hell to do with it. I can't knock the wall down, as much as I'd like to. I've thought "giant square picture on the wall", "bench?" and even a curved Eamesy wall divider. I'm fresh out of ideas.
I figured people entrenched in modern design could give me a modern solution to this eyesore, especially since it's the first thing you see from the entrance hall. The hall is about 7 feet long. I'm open to anything.

Unless the table in the corner is from a dolls house I'd say there's plenty of space for a chair. A bolder lamp would definitely be a good idea. If its the gap between the rooms (rather than the wall space) your worried about I'd say a screen is best bet

Thank you for all the replies. So far I am really liking the small drawing offcentered and moving/getting a better lamp. It figures I was the only one in the building with this thermostat on the wall (which is why it's locked, which I guess means my landlord comes into my apartment to adjust it when I'm not around).
I was also considering a television, vile things as they are, but simply could not place it since my flatscreen does not hang on the wall. I wonder if there is a solution for it here, along with the other two changes addressed, or if I'm looking at getting all new furniture.
Thanks again

Thanks SDR.I know the ones you ref,anyone who lived thru the 70s saw a few too many of those!There are those sheets of very small mirror tile,rather expensive and chic looking,Albert Hadley used them in his NYC apt in the late 50s.I think mirror could be used more often...not rely on the vivid painted wall(for zing or relief) as so often is done.Strips of mirror can be very smart as well...
