Is there a TV in this room?

yes here is a picture, still have wall mount it and hid the cords

If you're looking for a console to go under the TV then try to find one with doors/drawers to hide the components.

no I want to replace the triangle shelf with a console table

I would look for a new coffee table at the same time......you won't want a toddling baby near that coffee table. If you keep the coffee table, plan on padding all the corners and edges, and accept that the glass will be constantly smudged with drool and fingerprints. ;-)

Maybe you can find a nice coffee table and side table/console table set.

That's a beautiful rug.

OK, got it. But you still should look for one with doors and/or drawers. That's a big wall and a console with legs will be too dinky for that wall.

I'm one who almost advises against shelves as "space fillers" because then those shelves need lots of stuff. As you found out all that stuff is small and can make the room look really busy.

You might still use the triangle shelf somewhere but don't load it with so many little things. Of course I can see how the shelf can be a danger for a toddler.

I agree with CLC, that coffee table looks dangerous. It looks like bruises on adult legs too.

do you have any suggestions on a console table that might go well with the furniture? thats what I'm really struggling with. and I was thinking of putting the padding on the coffee table if hate to get rid of it cause it's brand new

I gotta say I like the trainagle table. but if you want more baby friendly, I suggest something like the ones kallax. a cube type shelf unit. No pieces that stick out to be pulled on. and mount it to the wall once it's in place. it will go with your "look " and you can add whatever color baskets for accent. or if you use the ikea ones you can buy doors and drawers so little one can't grab stuff easily.

lee was talking about under your tv and I agree with him. something long with doors. If budget is low I would browse Craigslist for an old 6 drawer dresser you can paint any color, or a actual entertainment shelf unit, or a dining room buffet type piece. you can put both electronic components in it and baby toys and supplies.

For the art, I personally think what's there is a little small. but you could buy an assortment of 11x15, 8x10, 5x7, etc etc of family and baby pics and arrange them so they have a general outline of rectangle. or if you like a more modern look, they can be randomly placed. Just keep the distance between each piece the same.

you can move that mirror to above the entry console table for checking stuff bf you head out the door.

what do you think of these?

oh thats a good idea with the kallax one I never thought of that! do you think white would look okay though because I have that white chair close or should I go black? also which do you think would be better the kallax. piece or this one (picture attached) I'm awful at deciding on things so I really appreciate the help! also I plan on putting this above the console table (picture 2) and then on top of the console table I plan on putting these (picture 3)

usually console tables go behind couches or under tvs, so i do not really understand.

kinda funkyfor under tv

May I ask what's needed inside 'replacement console'?

Can those items go in a sufficiently large tv unit?

Love your papason chair! Baby will pick items off the X yes? For a while keep things 'covered'.

How wide is the niche where tv is? Buy one at least that wide.

How high could the tv unit be????

cool ways to arrange pics

41 wide:

Metallic silver

@everdebz I think you misunderstood where I want the console table, I am replacing that triangle shelf with a console table

@leelee that black and white console table where is it from? or name of it so I can find it? I really like that one. and about the space above the papasan i didnt want to put big art there because the mirror is already next to it so I thought big art might look weird there

juliana,
definitely not the glass one. those metal sides are perfect pull up bars

check out this cool collage. Just arrangement ideas. that black and white one someone posted is super cool.

enjoy picking out your pieces! seriously have fun with it!

Those arch-door chests could be on that wall? 2 of them with great lamps, etc... [I didn't quite get it] --

do you want wood-look or paint's look of soft white?

so I think I have decided on this console table (image 1) but my question is what is the ruling on art above console table like sizing. I am getting this piece (image 2) for above the table. the table is 42 in width, I was thinking a 36 in diameter for the art.

anyone?

Julianna, this is your lucky day....that chest, credenza, media cabinet or whatever is from Target. Pretty cool, huh?

It's not in stores so it has to ship right to your door.

One thing I couldn't find on line was the dimensions of this piece. You might need to call to see if it's big enough. Google Target and read about it.

oh awesome! do you know what the sizing rule is for art above a console? like that one I sent before was 42 in and then would 36 in art be too big? not sure how the sizing goes on that

Art should be smaller than what it's over. Like 3/4 the size would be a good rule. It can be smaller, too. Then you might want to add a skinny lamp. Keep it simple with decor on top.

Let us know here when you find the dimensions of the piece, would you please?

well I have officially searched 20 pages on targets website looking for it and have failed to find it, do you know the brand by any chance

I just found it! here is the link for anyone interested
http://www.target.com/p/four-door-media-credenza-black-champagne-christopher-knight-home/-/A-51075134

its definitely out of my budget so I just went ahead and bought the other black one from Amazon.

so 3/4 of size of that table would be about 31 inches, should I get the art in 32 in?

Perhaps one of these will work? Both images are from designs we did.

does this look to small?

and betty where is the first art from the one in the frame?

Hang the mirror that's over the sofa horizontally over the cabinet and get art for over the sofa.

If the frame on the mirror isn't black then paint it black.

the mirror is not black, what would I use to paint it black? I like the picture you posted how the edging is thin, I'm really un sure though because I definitely want to get this piece (image attached) its custom made. but un sure if I should put it above the table or were the mirror is and put the mirror over the table as is? or get a new mirror all together?

okay I took the mirror off here is the empty wall that I'm clueless with what to do. I really don't know what to put here.

more art is always nice.

thats what I'm thinking but I really like meaningful art I don't just like random art that's only there because it looks nice. I also hung this up, and don't really like it where I put it, it looks way nicer next to black so I wss hoping to put it somewere on that wall since the couch is black but I really don't know how because the piece is so small (excuse my cord mess)

i see you can get original art, quite reasonably at etsy and saatchiart.
