The first thing I would do is put the console table you have behind the couch under the tv, which is going to give you some immediate feedback on scale and volume.

it also might work well on that wall.

Thank you for your feed back. We actually had that table under tv but moved it since cable box wires looked bad since the table is open underneath ….but I guess not as bad as the old wooden box. Just feel this wall needs to look nicer since it’s a focal point in room.

What do you like? I agree that something solid helps balance the mass of the TV.

This is an IKEA oak buffet that I removed the legs from so it would sit clean to the floor

This is a vintage rosewood bureau that was destined for the bedroom but the color and size was too perfect for this spot

You have so many options- your style looks fairly streamlined. CB2, West Elm, or vintage would be what I would do.

What is the spacing between the windows so we know what size to look for?

There is 8’ between the windows and 3 1/2’ below tv

This looks like a situation where a floor to ceiling built-in may work…mainly because the windows are so low and the scale of the furnishings is over-sized…and it will balance the room better than just a console table… it could include some enclosed storage as well…

If you want a console or credenza under the TV, I suggest you replace the sheers with inside mounted fiber shades and faux romans or some fiber blinds. Single sheers are inadequate and look like you ran out of money. Even two at each window won't help, because they are too feminine feeling for your furniture. The credenza should be 25% wider than the TV so it will about fill that wall space - no room for a second panel of drapery anyway...

Crate and Barrel has always had a nice selection of media cabinets.

We happened to have gotten ours from Bloomingdale’s (around 9-10 years ago), but the designer/company, Maria Yee, also designed many furniture items for C&B at the time (possibly still does).

You can buy guard that hide all the wires going up to the TV etc. Painted the same color as the wall it disappears.

Make sure you get an appropriately sized console, bigger than the tv by approx 1/3 is best. Nothing looks worse than a too small cabinet under the tv.

IMO the TV is mounteed too high now and Ikea does a great system called Besta and there are great choices for TV cabinets. A TV should be mounted so that the center of the screen is at eye level when you are seated I agree a wider cabinet is best .

I'd bring some color into the room!!!

We purchased a 6' long distressed robins egg blue cabinet to go in a niche where our T.V. will either sit or hang above the cabinet. The cabinet has 4 doors opening to 2 shelves for storing equipment. It was actually sold as a buffet. We will cut a small hole in the back to run cords through.

An example: Entertainment furniture

We purchased our piece from a local furniture store. Looked many places until we found just the one. And it was on sale for less than $1000!
