I think it was either 1x6 or 1 x 8 TNG painted pine with a chamfered joint.

Lights which automatically turn on when I enter a room (especially in the kitchen and in the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom) and lights inside my wardrobes (especially inside the one in the bedroom: I often get up earlier than my hubby, and it may be still dark outside, and I don't want to wake him up while I'm looking for my stockings).

We have the same type of panelling in our hall and it was oak the same as yours with an oak floor. It just started to feel quite dark and drab but we hesitated to to do anything for fear of messing it up. In the end we painted all the panelling in Farrows French grey, left the doors and floors wood and painted the sides of our staircase and the spindles in Farrows clunch but left the newel posts and the bannister rail as wood - looks like a different hallway - I have never regretted painting it

Do you have a IKEA Pax? What would you recommend hinged or sliding doo

@Laura took the words right from underneath my fingers. I was going to ask the depth and width of the area where the shelves currently are. I've just had a PAX installed and I LOVE IT. My configuration is Two sets of 2 x 100cm wide (236cm H) units with the Harvik doors. I had them shortened as my ceiling didn't allow for the full height hence why I picked the easily hackable Harvik. The easy option is 4 x 75cm units with sliding doors of course. In one of my units, the inside was wallpapered and has a standard shelf which my monitor rests on and a pull out shelf directly below it that I use as a desk. I even have power in there so the cables are neat. the Pax really are an outstanding solution. A word of advice though to avoid extra expense and wasted time, especially if you are having someone install them; check them as soon as they arrive as the units can be damaged Good luck and pictures please :)

What to do with cedar ceilings

The wood ceilings are unusual and give your house character. I’d want to be very sure before removing them. Looking at the photos (which may be deceptive, you’re the best judge of that) it looks like the wood has a sheen/varnish. Personally I’m not a fan of this - I think they would look much better with a matte finish. I would also consider staining them to mitigate the yellow tint. Or, if you have the height and budget, you could break the continuity by introducing black beams to add more interest up there. There’s an example of black beams on this page https://www.digsdigs.com/wooden-ceiling-ideas/ Having said that, I would start by reducing the size of the fireplace, which looks overwhelming and dated. Whether you want to keep it in red brick, or give it a more modern look by painting the brick in white or black, is up to you. Personally I’d go black, but it’s a matter of personal taste. It would make the ceilings even more impactful and would be a good background to your furniture and art. I would also definitely change the curtains to some that touch the floor - the current ones are too short and that’s immediately what the eye is drawn to. They need to gently kiss the floor.
