We recently design this adjustable shoe rack since we couldn't find any real good solutions for the storage of shoes. That's why we would like to see your current shoe storage solution, and hear if the Moodstand would fit in your home:)?

mate...i Iive in nz. in Christchurch we had a wood burning fire , where we live now..way at the top where the lions were on the weekend...no heating needed!!!! we do have double glazing and our house faces the sun, and the sun gives off heat here in the winter so it warms it all day unlike some peoples winter sun! but go with whatever is the best for your furniture . ...and budget !

I think this room is brilliant (not only because of the potential of the size) because it gives you the chance to have two areas with different purposes. One for sitting on front of the fire/chatting to guests and a second for cosying up with your partner on front of the TV. Agreed with Ellie. On the left side, you could have another sofa (or armchairs) perpendicular to the fireplace, with a coffee table and armchair opposite. I like your idea of having two carpets: One under the coffee table, the other opposite the fireplace on far side. I would add a long side board (maybe an oak cupboard, with 4 freestanding legs) in the left corner for shoes, hats etc. It can change purpose if you decide to move it in future. You could add a fancy coat rack (or wall mounted coat hooks) between the two doors on the right. Are there options to put this beside your front door? In between the fireplaces I think a bookshelf would look lovely. If you’re more a kindle fan than a real book fan, use it for your favourite pictures you haven’t had the chance to hang, and vases and pots. You could map this out before buying more furniture, using newspapers or magazines roughly the same size. (Or use the Houzz feature “view in your room” to test furniture you like on the website in the areas). Also get yourself a measuring tape- this will prove indispensable when looking at furniture before packing it off home to find it doesn’t fit. I realise I rambled off a lot there so I hope this makes sense. I just saw so much potential in this room. Hopefully you manage to get it just how you like.

it looks lovely, love the brick. Why not look for a Victorian Pine linen cupboard, they tend to be quite shallow so should fit in the recess and you could also paint it in the wall colour if you want it to blend in. you would need a pole/s hung the other way to normal so as to stack the coats front to back (if I'm describing that very well!). Would that be enough storage?? You can probably pick them up on eBay quite cheaply too http://www.oldpaintedfurniture.co.uk/portfolio/victorian-painted-pine-larder-linen-cupboard-545-ref1165/
