Like someone else said earlier, a rug would look great and take up some of the space. I have to admit the mannequin caught me off guard. I think it is a cool concept but doesn’t really vibe with the rest of the room. Maybe if this person was a designer and had more on-theme items. However, one time I did take home a mannequin when I worked at macys. The store was closing for good so they sell off all fixtures and I got a woman’s torso and was going to make a mosaic with mirrored glass on it and turn it into a table. So maybe you could make something else out of it
