I decided the best course of action for this windowless basement was to lean into the darkness. Rather than fight it, we embraced it. Handcrafted wood paneling concealed a door and helped the TV blend seamlessly into the space. A custom-designed entertainment console beneath the TV was created to mimic the custom fluted wood paneling on the walls.

A properly styled coffee table helps complete a space, we recommend keeping to groupings of 3 or 5, adding elements of various heights, and always incorporating some greenery or florals to your table. Trays or boxes are another go to when stylizing a table, trays ground whatever is on them and boxes offer extra storage to maintain an organized space.
