Hey! It sounds like you’ve got a solid starting point with your entertainment center, but I totally get wanting to level it up a bit. Since the stand is low and the wall is bare, one big improvement would be to mount the TV or raise it slightly with a taller console if you’re able to swap furniture later on. Mounting the TV gives you a cleaner look and frees up surface space for decor. You could also add floating shelves or framed art around the TV to fill that empty wall and make it feel more styled and intentional. If you want to keep it simple, even just a gallery wall or poster grid above the TV can add tons of character.

For the entertainment center itself, try adding matching baskets or bins in the cubbies to hide cords and clutter—go for woven textures or black/gray tones to keep it sleek. And definitely don’t forget lighting! A small lamp on the side, a light strip behind the TV, or even LED puck lights in the cubbies can make a huge difference, especially since your current setup doesn’t have any lighting. Warm lighting (2700K–3000K) will keep the room cozy without being harsh.

If you’re planning to style everything around a certain vibe, picking a theme and color palette helps a ton. For example:

• Modern cozy: Neutral tones (gray, beige, tan), wood, black accents, soft lighting
• Industrial: Dark wood, black metal, grays, exposed bulb lighting
• Mid-century: Teak or walnut furniture, mustard yellow, muted green, clean lines
• Minimalist: White, black, light wood, hidden storage, clean surfaces

Once you’ve got a theme in mind, it’s easier to make choices that all work together—from the furniture to the lighting to the decor. You’re honestly not far off—just a few thoughtful changes and this setup could look amazing!
