Have you thought about an oversized storage footstool? Child friendly, great storage, extra seating and for when the room is a child free zone, pop an oversized wooden tray on top to rest your cup of tea/glass of wine whilst you pop your feet up.

Hi Lisa, most tables get cluttered with just everyday stuff so having drawers is a good way of keeping everything tidy and items you don't want the children to just pick up. This table below has two drawers at the top and one big one at the bottom but made to look like two. Good for just throwing toys into, depending on how deep you want to make it you can have drawers on both sides. Also this one has rounded corners on the top and legs so relatively safe. Having something like this made is very expensive but another way of doing it is to buy online and get someone to adapt it by adding drawers and rounding off corners. Preferably with a simple finish to it too, if someone is going to dapt it then they don't want to spend more time trying to match a finish. Hope that helps.

Hi lovely space and I love the way natural light floods in. I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Two rugs not one to add warmth and colour you could then have a smaller matching rug at the end of the room that you quite rightly call an empty space. 2. Consider using a bracket to move the television onto the wall. Your plan showing the TV on the right looks good but if you used that plan then the TV would look best above the fireplace...that may be too high for comfortable viewing though. 3. A floor lamp where the plant is would give light and extra interest to that far corner especially if the plant is large enough to be placed in front or slightly to one side of the lamp. 4. At least one other lamp table and lamp beside the sofa 5. The empty area....obviously tight for space when the French doors open into the lounge but you may be able to fit either a narrow console or a larger piece of art with a narrow shelf beneath to fill that wall. Coupled with the rug you will be surprised how that will be enough to allow freedom of movement through that space and yet make the room feel whole instead of in two parts. I like your mix of furniture style which makes it easier for you to consider using sites like Freecycle or Craig's list to acquire a few extra pieces without breaking the bank. And if hubby is good aT DIY a narrow shelf will be a doddle you could also check out Houzz for ideas how to make a large piece of art to go above it too

I am definitely with you on that Bubbles, I love using reclaimed timber for furniture projects. I have just finished using old concrete shuttering wood to make a top for an old metal cafe table frame, the frame is now covered in jute rope and string which is sealed and varnished.

I’m no good at drawing floorplans but womdered if this would work: - Keep the island but turn it 90 degrees to face the garden. You will probably need to drop to 2 bar stools - Shorten the kitchen run with the sink and hob on it. One of those may need to go on the island - Dining table goes in front of the doors to the garden, parallel to the island and to the doors - then in the space in between your island and your dining table, basically under the big steel, you put a small sofa on the kitchen side of the room and a tv on the opposite wall. Yes it’s a walk way but this is not your main tv watching area, it’s just for the kids while you prep lunch etc.

Lisa,

I would go with both! Do a small coffee table and a large round foot stool.

Good luck and keep us informed :)

All the best,

Gina
