What To Do With TV Nook

6 years ago

Back in the early 2000s, my family and I installed a TV mook with a door and several shelves/cabinets. But, we recently got a new TV which is not a large Box TV, and we no longer have a need for all of these DVDs. What can I do to the mook without any major changes?

In the middle of a long drawn out revamp, coffee table relegated to the tip, it absence planned to last unsuitable within the new decor. But I missed it.!!!! And needs must. I discovered that using our old, 'long tall Sally' wooden stool was actually great for my coffee cup and nibbles. Matter of fact it looks rather cool. So I'm on the look out for a twin for my next project. Just need to decide what colour to paint them.

Changing the worktops to a light colour will make all the difference. I've just had a new kitchen installed and even in a small area - about 2.5 metre sq - having a white worktop has completely transformed the area. The previous matt black surface just absorbed all the light. I've painted the walls white as well (previously a creamy colour) and now the area is so bright I've had to buy a blind for the window! Therefore, I'd suggest staying with the layout and looking at the colours for your new kitchen rather than creating unnecessary openings that will mean you lose cupboard space or other rooms. It's not just style, but function that is also important, if the space does not work for you, you will soon fall out of love with the house.

I definitely like that you’ve gained a clear run from the hall way so you can see out to the back. I don’t think having the dining space diagonally really matters and as you say you gain extra light there. Also depends how much you use the table/living room/kitchen. I often Potter in the kitchen so would want that to be light enough to not always need to turn on lights, and often sit on the sofa and read so the same, but only eat evening meals at the table so it’s less of an issue, but if you use it all day, or have kids drawing there then you’ll have different priorities. I think if you can block off a small corner to create a utility cupboard that might be useful to help reduce noise in the open plan space. I think you could potentially do well discussing with a concept planner for the room. Many people on here have used OnePlan and recommend her. I think there are lots of options and everyone will have opinions of what works better but Presuming you’re doing this for you and not to sell then there’ll be additional considerations of your preferences and how you’d live in the space. :-)

For the fireplace with the wood burner I would paint it navy so it’s not too overwhelming but you still get your desired colour. As for the other fireplace I would paint it the same colour as the rest of the room and add storage if budget allows to keep your new room tidy! I hope this helps and good luck.

I agree that we need brighter photos and from a distance too. If you don't care to close the space in as recommended above, I would start with taking the doors off the TV cabinet and repainting the cabinet and its interior space to clean it all up and give it a fresh modern appearance. You can then consider adding another shelf above this new TV and use it for other decorative items such as attractive books and artwork.
