I have just freshly painted my living room and would like my tv cabinet and the corner beside it look nice. What goes in the glass doors, on top and beside please.

What I see immediately is the wall color behind the TV. Did your entertainment center come with a backing for the opening? If so, I might consider putting it back on, or have a piece of thin plywood cut to enclose that back area. I would also paint it the same color as your entrainment center. This would make the cabinet a bit more cohesive . In addition,If the top does not have clear glass you can always add that for next to nothing. You could also add some inexpensive lighting in those areas. It is a great piece, don't give up !! :)

The photo isn't clear. It would also be nice to see what's going on in the rest of the room.

Hi Gloria! Your living room is coming along nicely! I would place a tall plant in the corner, nothing on top of the tv cabinet and some colorful glass accessories behind the glass doors such as these beautiful peacock canisters from Z Gallerie, which would go beautifully with what I can see if your existing decor.

In cases like these the biggest challenge is to create a space that all the parts relate to each other in style...color ...design...and purpose ...this is lacking in this room..it seems odd that what you can see suggests that nothing is really facing the tv...and cabinet ...which should be the focal point...there are scale issues as well...the tv and cabinet are overpowering the size of the rest of the furniture and perhaps even the room...to really make it cohesive more photos of all angles of the room are needed...this may be more than you asked for but design and function must be addressed as a whole ...so that all the elements advance the beauty and connectivity of the room

Hi Gloria! I am glad you like my ideas. Yes, I definitely recommend window treatments. Simple, silk panels hung floor to ceiling on either side of the window would add a nice sheen to the room, soften the lines of the window and frame that beautiful view! I often specify RH's (Restoration Hardware's) thai silk solid panels for my projects which come in a variety of lengths, widths and colors. Happy Decorating! Wendi
