Dont want to lose all the cupboards & got nowhere else to put the washing machine, so could put a built in bench in place of the bar & then only lose use of the right lower cupboards????

Looks Incredible - great colour combination and what a clever use of space !

Thank you both for your comments. Yes we are very lucky to have such a nice room which is why I want to get it looking right. I really like some of your suggestions Minnie 101. I wasn’t keen on the orange with the cushions I currently have on the sofas but the ones you have sent a picture of look much nicer. I also like the idea of a bigger rug which goes under the feet of the chairs. I haven’t yet picked any wallpaper no. Yes Carolina, I know what you mean about the tv but unfortunately there isn’t room on the left wall, it would have to cover half a window. Also the best view from this room is actually to the right of the tv. So it’s only really blocking the view of the drive. I’m not sure how else I could make it work really? Interesting about the mirror. I’ve never thought about it like that. This little area annoys me a little and I’ve always thought it was the lamp or the mess on the console. Maybe it the mirror. I really like some of the items both of you have shown. Is there a link at all that I’m missing to these items or is it just for ideas? Not fully sure how this all works. Thank you for coming back with your ideas. It’s a great help

We recently completed an amazing project in North London, Hertfordshire. The heart of the home this is an amazing super room combining kitchen, diner, formal dining space and TV, seating area. Perfect for entertaining and bringing the whole family together. We mixed traditional joinery, Tom Howley kitchen with Scandy style dining chairs and contemporary seating area for relaxing. The formal dining table situated on Mediterranean style tile rug with statement chandelier light fitting. Specific areas were panelled with inset antique mirrors to create atmosphere and added ambience reflecting the hand made pendants over the island. The chevron dark wood floor gave the space a warm vibe. Visit our page, website to see more photographs of this project. Photograph by @franklinandfranklin
