Can cupboards that only take part of a wall NOT look weird?

last year

We're building floor to ceiling cupboards into our home office for extra storage space but don't need the entire wall's worth (or the cost that comes with it). We're hoping to turn the empty area into a sitting space with an armchair or chaise for reading or working on a laptop but I'm worried it will look strange with the cabinets just ending 2/3 of the way down the wall. All the photos I find have a built in desk or shelves or bulkhead that make a visual connection between the cupboards and the adjacent wall (see below).


Does anyone have photos of this kind of thing working without that?







And thanks to Kinsman, the Block and Pure Locations for the images.
