I’m looking for some ideas for my living room. I want to put an L shaped sofa facing the fireplace and replace the makeshift tv mount with a wooden mantle and put a tv above the fireplace.

What I’m struggling with is the space on the sides, I would love to add in two arched media in-units on both sides aNd put out decor pieces or do two full walls of family photos instead.

We’re also a crazy Christmas family so we’ll have a tree beside the fireplace on the left by the windows for 2-3 months, so I don’t want to get something that’ll be completely hidden by a tree as well.

I’ve looked through all types of options but feeling very conflicted. Just looking for some feedback
