Do you have any photos.

We need pics. But consider a sofa table.

Really need photos/plan to understand the situation.

But I have seen rooms that work fine with space behind furniture.

As bigreader said a sofa table could look great

The console is too low. Maybe try a writing desk and chair to give the space purpose. Or just file the space with indoor pilants

It is a bit of an odd spot. The scale of the items in the space is out of whack. If you can get another console the same, I’d run the two together as one long piece. Then add height with plants. I’d then remove at least 1/2 of the other decorative items, it’s looking a bit bitsy. I’d probably also remove the lamp and add a piece of artwork to lift the eye. You have a lovely colour scheme, it’s quite peaceful.

Hello Deanne,

The zoning of the areas needs some tweaking, at the moment the purpose looks like cover up.

Zone 1:

I would put the chair in the corner where the guitars are and the guitars just right of the chair to soften around the corner of the art work (hope that makes sense!) bring the round rug right in to touch the wall and remove tiny table, leave window space clear.

Zone 2:

Get a sideboard to fit in the space under the aircon and decorate lightly. If the existing sideboard fits, use that but get another nice big artwork to go above it.

Leave window clear, remove rug.

Zone 3: Bring lamp forward slightly and put all floor plants next to it.

I would also like to suggest that there is a little too much duck egg blue going on here, you have more than enough for it to be a great accent, I would consider painting the walls a neutral based white to really compliment that taupe flooring and allow that duck blue accent to stand out.

Can we have some photos from the back of the couch so we can see what it is facing?
