Need help finding rug and decorating alcove
Comments (7)Since your alcoves are above the TV hutch, which also looks like it has some items on the shelves, I would keep the items in the alcoves very simple. One fairly substantial item per shelf would look better IMO. I would wait until you get the rug and then use at least one or two items that pick up the color you want to use as an accent, such as a large vase or bowl, plate or a piece of art on an easel....See MoreWhat do I do with space above fireplace?

We can always move the TV screen up as it's on an arm. Here is a pic of the 4 panel sideboard.
