The picture is a ganesh - hindu god that I bought on holiday in bangkok, I'm actually going to replace it with a sketch or simple drawing as I don't think its fits the frame well. I would LOVE to replicate the alcove cupboard, but my Dad built them for me when he stayed with me for a week once and it was hard work, I couldn't ask him to do it again! I'll have a play around with the mirror etc tonight. Green is a good suggestion, I will keep it in mind when cushion shopping :-) And I know that the shelves need some thought. Thanks again :-)

I think its got loads of potential. You could go for wooden flooring laid across the shortest length of the room which will make it feel wider as will the use of mirrors. I would do away with the coving which will add height. If you get rid of the chimney breast it must be taken down completely or any parts left supported with a lintel. The TV could go above the fire place or under where they have the mirror in the picture. Keeping the furniture and flooring light with colour in the soft furnishing will keep it open and airy.

I'm not sure making the fireplace look heavier would be a good idea. However rather than fight the off centre I would work with it. Possibly wall hang the TV to the right of the fireplace it looks as if that would make it quite good for viewing from the sofa. Get a bigger rug which would still be off centred but would pull in/integrate the soa area more. I wouldn't put the TV in front of the window as the blockage of the view could feel negative and if the sun shines through during the day difficult to see TV without drawing curtains. What about a mirror above the fireplace you seem to have a window at each end of the space so a mirror could act like a third window reflecting light and giving weight to that are away from the TV. A window seat could work nicely.

Hi Diana. Re your windows I would look at something like this (dining room pics in link) http://www.drivenbydecor.com/2015/05/window-treatments-tricky-recessed-corner-windows.html 0r have a voile blind inside the recess and the curtains hung outside to give more height to the room. I'd go for a pole that doesn't contrast with the wall colour. Farrow and ball blackened may work for the walls (which way does the room face? I'm assuming some of the pics are a little dark as you didn't have any light behind you when taking the pic?!). Were you planning on dressing the feature window? As you've got cool and warm greys I'd layer them so a warm grey sofa with a cool grey or maybe blue ikat cushion. I'd have seating at right angles to the fire, sofa to the right of the fire with a lamp table closest to the fire and 2 accent chairs opposite, patterned ones might be nice. I'd go for large art over the fire rather than a mirror as you've got the window, perhaps a landscape. In terms of the look you want, perhaps look at velvet for the sofa. Lamps will add cosiness, a driftwood lamp will give the natural look. Add texture for the seating, perhaps a patterned cushion in front of a textured one and a textured throw on the other arm of the sofa. Also use plants and perhaps some faux flowers (I like oka faux hydrangea but it needs to be mixed with foliage). Perhaps a brass glass coffee table to add some warmth with some coffee tables books and the flowers!
