I like to have a place to hide things. I would keep the door on the right, and use the TV wall for more decorative things.

Or return both doors. I don't like the two door look.

I think your TV corner looks great.

Hmm, interesting. Here is the one door option.

I vote for no doors UNLESS you need to hide things.

No doors in this case.

I don't know about the doors.
But if I had to have a door I prefer the one that is glass and closed at the bottom to hide and still have display..

Here is a link that might be useful: IKEA

No doors. I think your items look good the way you have them.

No doors, but I might be tempted to hang another row of the shelves above the TV so it looks more built in and less wall is showing. The TV looks a little dwarfed to me right now. Love all the books and how you've interspersed interesting items.

Count me in with the no doors. I wish we had an Ikea near us.

Joanie that is a good idea about another set of shelves. We also thought about putting some of our framed autographed record albums in that space. We have posters, etc we have not put back yet.

As far as the Ikea return I will have to find times that avoid the rush hour out there. Sigh. Weekends are such a zoo there.

No doors

I like your setup with doors, specially since they are not fully opaque, it unifies the overall look.

One more "no door" vote and also agree that you need to put more shelves or something visually weighty above the TV.

Nice job!

No doors. Looks great!

Doors. It's too visually cluttered otherwise and I could never relax in that room no matter how perfectly styled.

I'd say it depends on what the rest of your room looks like and what look you're trying to achieve. With doors: More streamlined, contemporary. Without: Cozier, more colorful, a bit younger (play room). Also, do you like to SEE your books?

No doors - and I love the idea about another set of shelves. Just keep that space visually simple... your record album idea is a good one!

I have (clear) doors on my bookshelves downstairs and like them because they keep the dust off things.

Just wanted to update that I returned all the doors. Even thought it was Sat, it was not a zoo, so whew on that. There was only one person ahead of me in the return line.

Thanks for the feedback.

Maybe this weekend we will have more time to put up some more items. We really love our music and other memorabilia, and we have nowhere else to really display it.

"... hang another row of the shelves above the TV so it looks more built in and less wall is showing."

Something was off that I couldn't put my finger on until I read Joanie's post. This would definitely finish off the look, and perhaps even a wood backer behind the TV just to really make the built-in look complete.

I would put a shelf under the TV so that the box sitting by the TV could be put on this shelf...would bring the TV up a little higher but I think not too high for comfortable viewing. Then I would put another shelf on top of the TV if there is room.
