What would you do with these bloody plugs?

[Lifeisconfusing]

So I have the french style console tables so I can’t have a modern shelf or anything,and if I put a tv cabinet there it will be too much. What’s your thoughts?

I could suggest a few things,

1. Get an electrician to remove the socket boxes and plaster wall over.

1. A feature piece of furniture such as a nice drawer unit or storage unit. Also I thought a bookshelf could look pretty neat there.

1. Install a fireplace, my sister in law has recently moved into a new place and got an electric fireplace which cost only £100 for the product and he boyfriend fitted (imagine a professional could cost anywhere from £50-£200 depending on mainy variables) and use it to cover the sockets.

1. Finally the simplest is buy a TV unit and stand the TV on it

Hope this helps

I'd get rid of the tables and put in a low wall-mounted fireplace. There are lots of inexpensive options nowadays.

@SebThompson ah Thankyou the wallpaper was £70 a roll so not keen on messing with plugs and plaster. I would put a tv unit there but I want to keep tv on the wall. If I put a tv unit there what would I do with the sides? It’s a large room you see. Thanks again

It is a bit boudoir, sorry OP...

I’d either get rid of the tables or relocate them, then put something low under the TV to hide the sockets.

@JKScot4 what would you put in window

I Could just put the pouffe in the window I guess

Is it recessed? If so, build a window seat?

@Wilmalovescake ha ha I know my taste is abit girly. I was on may the best house win in my old house and they said it was boudoir ish

Ooh, which episode?

Nothing in window, unless recessed why do you need something in window?

It was 2012 can’t even remember the episode I had it on DVD’s but chucked it as hated doing it .

I did it for experience

@JKScot4 I’m not sure. I thought I had good taste until I came on here ha ha ha I need to rethink the look completely. Iv never felt satisfied with my living room and now I know why.

Do you all approve of my kitchen?? 🤣

I’m a minimalist and like clean lines but still to be a livable comfortable room. Where you have the chair is facing away from ppl sitting on sofa, it’s your home not a show home.
I’m guessing you don’t have young kids 😉

Kitchen is lovely 👍🏼

I think your lounge and kitchen look lovely 😊 I'd love my house to look similar! But sorry don't know what to do about the plugs - sorry!

Ah @Lifeisconfusing if we all liked the same things etc etc.

I agree with Pps wo=ho have said a nice low foot stool would be a relatively cheap answer and hide the sockets ( or a trunk etc with a cushion on top - also as you don't seem to have much in the way of side tables / coffee table ) would be handy for putting a tray on - or extra seating when lots of guests - I wouldn't have the sockets taken out I would just put something lowish in front of them & I do think a low and wide footstool could work. ( Also given two wooden tables I think something a bit upholstered would look better in between than more wood ) - so a relatively inexpensive fix rather than binning your tables

Honestly I would not have thought of the hairdresser thing if someone had not mentioned it. Or you could take a qualification in hairdressing and invest in two client chairs. At t least the plug sockets will earn their keep - I joke .

The other thing would be an upholstered ottoman - v handy for storage and again not too much wood - thinking of something like this - there are others on website which are more buttons etc and am sure available in lots of places but just an idea www.thedormyhouse.com/empire-ottoman-plain-upholstered-lid

@JKScot4 I have 3 kids 12,8 and 5 ha.

@BasiliskStare Thankyou.
I thinking of going with a glass cabinet under tv then putting my chair on an angle where one of the console are and maybe just a lamp table on the other side

One of these?
Apparently it's an upholstered footstool coffee table.
Loads of different shapes but you need rectangular like this preferably just a bit deeper than your consoles

Your kitchen looks great, but I could never eat baked beans in it .

Could you get something like this and install in front of the sockets?

PS I think your room is very elegant

Perhaps this under tv. Not sure what I would do with the mirrors would I just leave the walls plain

I think I need to scrap the consoles I can’t
Un -see a hairdressers now 🤣
