My new apartment has a wall mounted air conditioning unit in the middle of the living room wall. The best way to setup the room leaves my couch right next to the air conditioner meaning you get blasted in the face with cold air. I'm wondering if there's a way to deflect the air upwards or downwards. I've looked at those vent deflectors but they won't work. Also the entire unit is plastic, so nothing with magnets will work.

Does anyone have a solution of how I could redirect the air? Please see the photo attached.
