Thanks mrsmcee74 for recommending Egyptian cotton, although I have used it before I hadnt really considered it for this room, it really looks great though - its in the part which is east facing, so your comments on that really swung it! Will post photos soon. Also, my painter was pleased as he loves Dulux trade - and something to note, it took only 2 coats of Dulux trade Egyptian Cotton, whereas the F&B lamp room gray took 3 it was so watery... I love the colours that F&B do, but the paint quality of dulux trade (not normal dulux) is much better.

Hello motocross1, There's a whole lot you can do with such a room.. The main aspect are the height of the room, the fireplace which is the focus and feature of the room and then you have the addition of the french windows.. I think it would be fabulous to have some sort of dual aspect seating arrangement.. like a centrally placed chaise longue that is open or a day bed or something that is facing both the fireplace and the french windows depending on which side you sit.. Painting those cabinet doors to blend with the wall colour means that you can give the fireplace a more subtle frame.. Adding the most amazing mirror would then give it a fabulous finish.. It also reflects the light and the doors opposite.. A chandelier too would be a fabulous addition but something a little unusual. I would then consider two large columns with either a statue or a beautiful vase with expansive fronds situated in front of the little rads either side of the french doors.. An armchair for example situated angled in front of one side or either side of the fireplace.. and a sitting chair in closer proximity to the french doors.. Console on the window side with a large decorative piece or floral arrangements. Or consider an antique desk which would also be a lovely addition to the room. Having a dual aspect so to speak giving the sitter a view of either focal points makes for a perfect sitting arrangement and a statement piece in a room that would compliment it entirely.. With a drop down for example on a chaise longue or as this one is.. Pare with side tables to compliment which can be moved around as and when. :)) Images are a range of period to more contemporary which could be wonderful..

Hello, lindac3 -- what a lovely view! I completely see why those tub chairs would be in constant use. I think the idea of replacing the ottoman with two more chairs is a good one; you could also consider a small sofa, which would look good with the tub chairs. Either arrangement would give you flexibility; the chairs or sofa could be turned the other way if needed in the other side of the room, or they could form a seating group in the conservatory. Chairs would be very flexible, however as the pictures don't show another sofa a sofa could make a welcome addition to the room.

Hi Kate Home-Roberts, It will probably be the last thing that goes into the project but maybe one of the most important, wood flooring could be a perfect addition to the project? If you're trying to keep to the original classic farmhouse look or if you wanted to go completely the opposite direction we have options for all. I've attached some links to our floors below that may interest you, our antique range or the classic. Vintage Oak Classic Oak Let us know what you think and perhaps we can be of service to you.
