Absolutely. You also have a lot of options about how to decorate it. A large mirror, picture, or collection above. The surface can hold a collection or seasonal vignettes...especially since we are getting close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Or one large piece, maybe pottery with branches. So many possibilities! My grandma gave me the buffet from her old dining set that I used in the LR for our TV. It's in the dining room, now, waiting for harvest inspiration from me. As long as you have room for them, they can be quite versatile. The defeated army under the side table made me laugh! I have the same thing in my living room :D

DK30--I'm still contemplating the purchase of the mirror, hence, just not sure if I want to drive so far for a mirror, but if anything changes and the item is still available--I'd be happy to proceed accordingly!

I generally like 48 inches from the table to the wall for flow, but if you get a narrower buffet (no more than 18 inches) it will be a little tight if someone is seated and someone wants to get by them, but is doable. FYI a buffet is in a dining room, a sideboard is in the living room or foyer. Pretty much the same thing, but where it is located determines what is is called.

How long is the uninterrupted wall section and how long are you needing/wanting? If it fits and doesn’t overwhelm the space, prioritize your needs. Be sure to offset its size with accessories and choose a lighter feeling style.
