Would love some advice on my dining room.
It is a long rectangle in a fairly open-concept space. The far wall (opposite the window) is super boring, and we tend to ignore that end of the table, or use it as a dumping zone for mail etc. (There are doorways at both ends of the table.)
If I turn the wall into a cool accent wall, would that help to make the far end more inviting? Or are we doomed to having that a "negative zone?"
I dream of raw wood shelves with plants and funky pottery etc., but that might be too cluttered. Maybe just a vibrant colour?
Right now it is grey wall with a square mirror. The table is a pine harvest table.
Thanks so much for any tips.

Just off the top of my head I came up with shelving boxes that could be mounted on the wall with knick knacks on them. Arranged many different ways with say maybe four to six of them, they add dimension. Boxes could be about 2' sqaure..give or take. Smaller could work and I think boxes would be way better than shelving on the wall.
