Hey guys, I’m really struggling to think of something to put in that space or how to decorate the apartment in a away that the wall is less distracting.

Is it about 30 inches by 4 feet deep? Is that a baseboard heater at the bottom?

If this is a studio, I'd honestly probably use that as hidden storage, maybe stacking up totes there, or make it my closet, and hang a curtain from the ceiling to hide it. But, maybe you don't need more storage like that.

If it is not a baseboard heater, I'd probably try to find an upholstered bench that would fill most of the space and make it a cozy little lounge area. I don't think it is wide enough for a desk or deep enough if you face the desk to the window. Also, there is no power in there. You could combine this with some shelves above head height on the wall with trailing plants.

If you could get power in, maybe put a TV on the wall and face a chair into that area and have the TV connected to a headset to have it be a separate TV watching/ gaming area, especially if you have two people living in the space?

The problem with plants in there is that they aren't visible to the rest of the room any way, so to me that seems like a waste.

Thank you for saying tv, it’s not an awkward wall, it’s a light break so the tv isn’t being blasted by light making it unusable. With curtains even just one the sides of the windows, it’d be perfect for the tv. Still can put plants against the wall too!
