Always worth checking with Lasscos, if they don't have any then they may be able to suggest where you can get some, and who may be able to restore the ones you have. They have a few locations so worth going and having a look or at least giving them a call. They will also probably have some other 30s bathroom fixtures. I just love visiting them, dangerous though as I end up buying stuff. http://www.lassco.co.uk/

Hello Tom, I think it could be a very relaxing and inviting room - A mid century style sofa with legs would be ideal (Think mad men and stylish!) ... Something less solid and thus the feel is more open within the flooring spatially.. A 3 seater and perhaps two chairs.. Something that would work well with your chosen scheme (grey or other)... Perhaps have the sofa facing that little window wall with some chairs opposite.. So there's less of a "tunnel" You could then have a different shaped coffee table.. I'd suggest the less solid idea with any cabinetry like a console or sideboard.. Small cabinets.. Anything with legs! Even a wardrobe is a nice element in a living room.. Storage for crockery etc or the flat screen for example or projector.. Given the height, you could afford to have a larger ceiling light fitting here and why not have a look at Ebay. There are some really fantastic finds for vintage and interesting.. I'd bring the glass table out of that window recess a bit further... So it could be a multi- functioning table... Working, eating, socialising.. You may find then you don't need the other wooden table.. Chairs are other good finds on ebay or perhaps a visit to an antiques fair or two.. Mirrors could be interesting here too with the slope of the ceiling curve.. Plain and square.. if at all and hung on an angle reflects light downward.. especially good with a dark scheme... Now on to some colour... You might want to take inspiration from the rug too.. but I rather like the earthy grey or that which has brown in it.. You could introduce rust colours to compliment and then the light whiter colours for the ceiling half could be off whites and with slight yellows.. Little Greene has lovely colours.. Very chalky and dense.. For whites.. Whitening, White lead, Ceviche is nice, stone colours. Grey moss and Furrow for earthy greys. For rich grey Scree is lovely. Bring the wood work into the scheme too.. It makes for a fabulous finish.. Consider too on that rear wall (behind second sofa) a very large mirror to lean up against the wall.. Something like 8 x 6ft if you can get something sizey into the space.. Or a series of long narrow mirrors leant up against could do. If you decided to go with a dark colour this could work as it offsets the colour, bounces the light back into the room and offers a visually interesting element and spatially it makes the room twice the size whatever the size... A few ideas off the top of my head.. : ))

The door and windows are quite dark, could you paint them? Using white curtain poles is an option? If you mount the poles are high up as you can and as wide as you can it will make the windows seem larger and will stop light being cut out by curtain overlap. You could treat the window and door as one treatment with full length curtains covering both, almost covering the whole wall.

I'm following this with interest; we bought a 16th century cottage and I'm still struggling with its peculiarities. Personally, I quite like this and I think it could work in your space if you can find a way to fit it: https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/barchester-double-pendant-light/barchester-double-pendant-light-in-antiqued-brass-3312ab?returnurl=%2fbarchester-double-pendant-light%2f In fact, I'm considering buying all my light fittings from Jim Lawrence, I just love their products! If your husband doesn't like to see the bulb (I don't either!!) you should look for lights that have lampshades with diffusers. Or, as a wild card, maybe consider something like this, which I think could also work in a cottage setting despite being a LED lamp. https://www.bespokelights.co.uk/shop-by-type-c4/ceiling-hanging-lights-c29/forest-modern-black-led-linear-ceiling-pendant-with-antique-brass-lamp-holders-p18296
