I would put a potted plant and painting in between the two stands/cabinets. Then, out from the wall at an angle facing the sofa add a cool chair and side table. Note: potted plant & art are for inspiration only as I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for.

Sometimes when we focus on one space it seems empty. When you are in the room as a whole the areas of negative space actually provide a rest however. With just this view of a snippet of the room I am not sure we can say if something should be there at all.

In this picture I dont see any wall art. Is there are somewhere in the room?

How about a tall ceramic vase to add some color and shine...

I'm not sure you need anything here. If you have a green thumb, a plant makes sense but otherwise, why add something just because it's empty? We'd have an easier time advising if we saw the whole room.

I'm going to have to agree with Spanish with putting the cabinet back with the credenza. OR...add two or three matching baskets with no lids, with colorful lap blankets or quilts inside to fill up that awkward space under the cabinet.

My favorite set up with the tv on the wall has narrow (2' wide) matching bookcases on each side of the TV to frame it. The book cases need to be close to the same height at the TV. Put an inexpensive table with the same color wood as the book cases under the TV. Beautiful and no need for built-in's.

The picture I saw had glass doors for each shelf on the book case. Nice but I'm sure expensive.

A plant, picture, vase, etc, are too generic for such a beautiful space with those floors.

I agree. I didn't realize that they were one unit originally, but the top looks odd on the legs.

I agree to put it back together and find something else for the TV.

We need to see more of the room to decide if you need art there.

Personally, I am not one to fill up negative space, just to fill it up. I am also one who would prefer some open spaces to give the eyes a place to rest.

I didn't realize that the two pieces were a unit. Interestingly, I don't really care for the tv unit (just not my taste) but I sure do like the hutch on legs unit. Looks a little MCM. I would buy that.

I would get a tall vase such as Annie posted but perhaps something shiny or metallic and just fill it with tall grasses.

If you could share colours that you already have in the room that would help.

Oh and leave the space under the hutch (?) unit bare.

I actually like the current setup, so would leave the furniture as is and would not add anything in the space between them. Just let your eyes "rest" when they get there. ;-)

I think making more of a sort of venue near the taller cabinet makes the area more purposeful and pretty. Put together from my first post ideas. Also, I would add tiny touches of red-ish rust and a larger rug.

Sorry I didn't post the other areas....here they are. The hutch/china cabinet were separated for the move. I looked and looked for a tv credenza but didn't find any I thought would go. Then I saw on Pinterest how people took old china cabinet tops and put them on legs so did this until I find a credenza I like. We bought this set in 1981 when we got married...it is solid and better made than what I could buy today so decided to keep it. We redid the handles...it originally had teeny gold handles. Oh, sorry for junk on DR table....am about to make chair covers. LR furniture/art/rug will be replaced in a few years....not crazy about the charcoal sofa/chairs anymore but living with it for now. Thanks for all the suggestions.

JT....thanks for the visual....that helps!

Joanie, if your furniture (sofa) is sound how about switching out the coffee table instead? This one is pricey but maybe something along this idea.

I like that....thanks JT!

I would try 3 baskets under the hutch and remove the things on top. If the blue item on the right is a basket, I would try it on the right side of the credenza by the tv if it isn’t too tall. Or somewhere else in the room.

Terri did a perfect mock up showing why the space needs something there. I agree about leaving some spaces bare, but the gap is too noticeable. Maybe if there were a row of similar small pictures above the TV it wouldn't be so jarring to the eye.

Joanie, I love the blue and green accessories, perfect colors. What about finding a simple and inexpensive wood table the same width and length for under the TV and painting it the same color as the accessories?

I wouldn't try to fill up the space. I agree that the cabinet/credenza should go back together. Do you have somewhere near the dining table where you could put the cabinet/credenza? I think it would work better with the table. If you have to leave it where it is, separated, I might add a nice basket under the cabinet part. The print and plant is not bad, but I wouldn't add the chair, etc. In seeing the rest of your room, things look open, not cluttered, so I wouldn't clutter up the space near the tv.

You could just add some art over there. I don't know what you like so just added a mix from Art . com. Most of these come in many sizes.

Your existing art across the room.

What space? You don’t need anything there.
