Alcoves and window spaces

Izzy F
2 months ago

I am stuck for what to do with the alcoves and area by the window in our living room.
I was thinking of having some cabinets built into the left of the fireplace with some shelves but unsure if this would look strange just on one side (can't do the same on the other side due to the radiator)
There is also a large space where the window is that I am not sure what to do with. Possibly two accent chairs and a small coffee table?
Thoughts please!! 🙏

    Build in a window seat with storage. Either as drawers, cabinets or just having a large empty chest to dump things into all help keep clutter down. Add some nice backing pillows and you have a cozy nook.

    For the fireplace wall, dual matching sideboards are definitely the way to go. The right one could be a mock sideboard with a decorative grill cover. Match the colours style and patterns to the left side. Add shelves only if you have good stuff to put on them like vinyl records or books. Otherwise leave it open and add some decorative elements.
