Double Reception Room Advice

Hello Everyone! I'm really excited at having just bought a new house. I'm facing a bit of a block as to how to furnish the double reception room. It's quite a big space in total (22ft by 11ft) but has two doors which slightly chops the room up. If I were to have a reasonable sofa, it would have to block one of the doors to be centred in front of the fire place (see photo of plan below). The kitchen is in the basement, so I'm not sure how practical it would be to have a dining table in one of the rooms. What do you think? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

My question is that should double reception rooms each have a chimney breast / would it de-value the house price? It would create a bit more space and also I'll be able to find some furniture to fit as the depth of the chimney is very narrow, but I don't want it to look odd. Thanks in advance.

Comments (6)I would try to change the proportions of things (at least visually). If possible, are you able to remove the bookcase to the left of the door into the dining room? If so, this may be a good place to have a lovely chair or chaise. The large wall (behind toy cooker) is very prominent and bare. A very low unit (floating if possible) the full width of the wall would be a great place to store oversized books etc and the top could be used to display things that would look good in silhouette. You could also place a lovely mirror above to reflect light. http://loaf.com/products/cinch-mirror. The wall above the radiator (which probably gets little light) could be painted a dark tone and used as a gallery wall....See Morehow to divide double reception room with sofas
