Add to existing symmetry. This large piece of furniture feels right at home nestled between the mimicking windows. The use of symmetry is softened by the collection of various baskets and the frame to the side.
For a whimsical touch, place a small piece of art on the floor, almost so you miss it at first glance. It adds a bit of character without overpowering the room.
The unexpected often works. In this vignette, the baskets are piled too high and smooshed up against the ceiling. There is too much white space on either side, and the baskets are all wrong. Or are they? The very "wrongness" creates a feeling of overabundance and extends the height of the furniture. The collective piece then balances the floor-length windows on either side. What might at first seem wrong is very, very right.
Keep the footprint small. This is one of the great secrets of furnishing a pint-size room: Bring in large-scale pieces that have a shallow footprint. That way, you'll get the presence and gravitas of overscale furniture without swallowing too much floor space.
