Hi, do you have more photos ? What is the size of the living room, and do you have other doors ? Maybe you should put something else near this column, like a little rectanglular table for your computer for example

Depending on a purpose of this space you could also put a console and a mirror. Or a large full length framed mirror, which will bring in more light

-- You could make it your media center with a wall mounted tv and a cabinet below. Looks like an electrician would have access to power in the ceiling. Have 1 cream colored power line coming down from above - paint the line to match the wall if necessary. I promise that you will not notice this line after a few days and after you have the space all dressed up.

Agree with Allina. I was about to suggest getting the column mirrored on all 3 sides with a protective corner trim. See examples

Photos showing the column in the living room would be helpful. Also try to sketch out a floor plan.

Depending on how you lay the space out, it could work really nicely for you. You could put a book shelf, or a console table with mirror and accessories.

Another option is to build shelves and storage around the column, such as bookshelves for paperbacks, DVD's, CD's etc, or perhaps a combination - mirrors and shelves. It all depends on size, direction each side of the column is facing and how much space/clearance you have around the column.

You will have to treat the column as a room divider. You could place a chair in front of it and add a picture on the column and tie that in with the rest of the great room furniture.

Something like this.

The vintage poster is supposed to be over the butterfly chair.

I agree with Sally. I'd place a flat screen TV on that coloümn with a cabinet under it. Place the sofa opposite the TV.
Put a large leafy plant in the corner in front of the window.
Other option: you can attach a dining table to it with it's shorter side and place an artwork on that wall.

Here is the floor plan. The column is a about 80cmx80cm, away from the nearest wall 80cm & window 60cm. The living room and the kitchen is connect: ~32sqm (as you can see on the floor plan).

I love the idea to put the tv on the column, and soaf opposite, but is that will make room unbalance? And it will make we will have no view. Aaah.. I dont understand why they make the column in the middle like that. I would prefer smaller apartment with column attached the wall. It will be easierrrr

Thanks all for help.

I love the mirror idea, too. It's so pretty. But i hate the column is too huge
