Originally had this as just a receiving room, with just a bookcase and a coat rack, bench combo. But now looking to make it more of a reading enclave with a desk. The room is 10ft by 10ft, with a four foot cut in on the diagonal wall. Did the wallpaper originally to start out a theme involving the surfboard but we’ve lost momentum with that based on the space. Looking for creative ideas to get past the stall out and finish the space. All ideas are welcome! Help us finish our space, please!

This is the first room of my two bedroom apartment. It is what you see when you enter. Trying to figure out a good use for the space. The measurements are 10ft by 10ft, with a four foot diagonal cutout. The French doors lead to the kitchen and bathroom, other door to the living room. There is a hallway outside for shoes and storage.
We put up the wave print wallpaper thinking fun beach theme to work around the surfboard, with a desk and reading area. But unsure now and haven’t been able to find the right furniture, so it’s been stalled. Happy for any ideas!!! Help us make progress on finishing our space, please!
