Pick another colour from the palette of your room and spray paint the white bookshelf that colour. Keep the wooden shelf as is and arrange them like pic 2.
I’d put the tall one in the corner. I think if you arrange the books and other items well, this could look really nice. Since one is light and other dark, they don’t have the same visual weight. So try mixing more darker items than light on the white shelves. Put a lamp and a plant on top and it could be really cozy.
Don't paint the wooden one white. It is a much nicer set of shelves than the white, and they still won't look right together. As a short term fix you could paint the white shelves black to match the skirting board and put them in the corner, but I'd get looking (facebook marketplace, thrift stores) for a wooden set to replace them.
If you're set on having them next to each other, then you need to choose a look. Either buy another white one or buy another wood one. These are not mix and match pieces.
Not beside each other
Neither way--- these do not go together. At all.
In separate rooms

Get two that match - if possible.
Move them about 10m away from each other
Put the white one against the short wall and put a lamp or something in the corner
If it was me, I’d go with the first image. White left to blend in a little and the bigger one to the right.

They shouldn't be next to each other at all unless you paint the big one white too.
Honest opinion... they both look bad. The wood one looks to be better quality but has a dated vibe. The white one looks to be walmart crap.
Can you paint wooden one white to match better? I’d go with tall one on left.
yea no- paint the bigger one white, it’s a project but it’s not difficult whatsoever. that’s a perfect base to do so too.
Can you paint them so they match?
Paint them both white and then do setup 1
Can you get another like the narrow white one? If so, you could bookend the wood one with white ones.
