Ok, how deep are the alcoves? are You able to do basic diy? I cut my Billy 10cm to fit into the space. It was worth it. I really like your fireplace surround. It would be really nice to get or install something to compliment it. go for billy/ besta combination. besta 120cm (60+60 combination) cabinet with legs and put a top 132cm to go for wall to wall. Complete with billy/besta wall cabinet above. If someone is able to do some diy you can add some side panels to look built in. Look on the YouTube, there are videos people do it. The on the other side take billy tall cabinets (80cm+80cm) as built in bookcases. go for white cabinets and combination of glass and solid doors. You would be also able to add some cabinet lights . Good luck. Let me know if you need help x

Hi Joan, I personally think it would look too cluttered. It is a really lovely TV stand and fabulous floor lamp, I’d centralise the TV personally and leave it like that. A floor standing vase to the right where the cardboard box is would add balance if that’s something you’d want.

Personally I think it’s something mid century that has been up cycled by sanding off the original stain, adding some Grey paint and some hinges

Thanks Daisy. Sarah that looks great…we don’t have a wall or alcove though so would need some other support that wouldn’t hinder the useable space…I guess like the metal posts that are used in floating shelves. Thanks for the idea, something to think about for sure!!
