This is the basic design of a corner cabinet I want to make to go at the end of two runs of couches where they meet at 90 degrees.

Sorry, but I don't know how to post larger images. Hopefully, you can still see that the left side is a cabinet about 12 x 12" with a drawer and door. On the right is an end and partial back. The two sections are connected by a base, open shelves and the top. Overall, it's about 26 x 26 x 25-3/4" H. I have some very nice walnut that I was thinking of using for the vertical elements and some ambrosia maple (including a slab that I could potentially use for the top) that I was thinking about for the horizontal parts. But the cabinet itself is very plain and I don't know if the wood itself is going to bring it to life or it's going to look like something from IKEA. I could make the vertical elements frame and panel but that doesn't seem to fit the modern design.
Given the overall size that it needs to fit into, got any ideas on ways to improve or revamp the design, wood, etc.? Thanks in advance for any input/ideas you have.
