What would you put on this wall?
Some options we thought of included:

Large family canvas photo on the wall? However don't really have one we like and neither of us are at a weight we are happy with and unsure we want that displayed on the wall
One of those sideboard cabinet type things with cabinet doors? Thought it might be nice to be able to fold up the blankets that are normally on the couch and actually have a spot to put them where they don't look like they are just always thrown around the living room?
Storage Ottoman? I like the thought of them for a little extra cushion seating when having people for holidays... and could still store the blankets in them as they would have storage. However don't know if it would look weird or out of place because they usually tend to be pretty small.
I am attaching a photo of the wall area in question as well as two examples of the things I listed

^(Back story-)

^(I have been on the cleaning team at my work for 12 years. For all 12 years my group and I have worked for the same manager. She has/was not a good leader at all. Never cared about concerns or offered ways to improve efficiency etc. She retired and I now have her job. I feel like I'm expected to make this team better than before and feel that pressure. I am looking for ideas to make the group more efficient also new things/ways that I could come forward with suggestions and ideas to my upper management to make them not regret giving me the job and making them feel like I'm a breath of fresh air versus my old boss.)

^(Below are some issues that I face:)

I worked/cleaned at a remote building, so I lack the knowledge of the day to day life at the "home" building.. which sort of makes me feel a little odd now that I am at the "home" building.. and the people answering to me are more knowledgeable about what's going on as in this building, the people who work in this building as well as where everything is.
Due to our previous boss being so hands-off and stand-off the group apparently learned how to be self reliant. They established relationships with the rest of the company and their own lines of communication. They know how and when to cover for each other etc. It sort of makes me feel like "OK so what do you even need from me??"
There is a huge disconnect between our day shift and night shift cleaning crews. Obvious issues, "oh look at this mess the night shift left" and then the night shift feeling like they are being attacked by the day shift and nit-picked..

I am looking for ways to bridge gaps, new ideas to establish myself as the new boss without intruding on things that are working semi good ( with the exception of the issues above as well as others that I am sure to come)

if you were in my spot, how would you try to switch things up in the group?
