I've just been looking at shoe storage myself. It really depending on how much room you have. Ikea do a few shoe storage units http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/shoe-cabinets/

Do you have space under the stairs as that could be converted into pull out storage draws? http://clevercloset.co.uk/under-stairs/
or you can buy a unit which fits under the stairs.

It is most unwelcoming to ask guests to remove shoes. I would be mortified after tramping around in hot shoes all day to be asked to remove my shoes, and then would have to leave foot shaped sweat marks on their floors, possible odour, and for me I look fat and roundy on flat feet, etc. There is no way I would make my guests uncomfortable in that way. Putting home beauty before guests comfort is alien. Might as well leave the plastic covers on the settees in case they might stain those, might as well install a hospital like hand sanitizer, or have them walk through a spray of disinfectant while they enter. Absolutely totally against this.

Hi Karis, It would be good to see a plan of the room as the photos can distort perspective a little. I agree with you, the room does look a little off kilter. It's too heavy to the right of the fireplace -to balance it out you need something to the left (of the fireplace).- reflecting the height and width of the bookcase. One way you could achieve this is by using paintings or some kind of wall art above and slightly behind a chair. (small relaxing arm/reading chair would be ideal. A floor light in this corner even, if its only a plug in floor spot light will make a difference. Option A will also feel a little more balanced, but also a very tiny bit like the reception of some private practice. If the desk isn't too big, can you try turning the desk slightly diagonally into the room? Alternatively, position the desk where you had it originally and create a picture wall full of all the photos you love behind it (on the door wall). You will also need either a desk light either positioned on the desk or on the wall to give you the lighting you need, making your desk a pleasant place to work at. Hope this helps, please keep us posted. Annika

Oh man, I decided to brave Ikea on a Saturday and sad to say that Martin was quite uncomfortable! I mean, the seat itself was fine and nothing a nice seat cushion couldn't fix, but the back rest felt like its designed so that you'll have to sit perfectly upright to be remotely comfortable in it. I suppose its good for posture if nothing else, but not something one wants for a dining chair! The Svenbertil was a lot more comfy for about the same size, though a bit more expensive. I was thinking of perhaps a couple of smaller side tables instead of an actual coffee table. Not sure yet. I think I'll have to wait until the sofa gets delivered and I have it in the space before I can really decide. Generally not a fan of glass table surfaces as I can get a bit obsessed over fingerprints and glass just attracts them! I really liked this coffee table when I saw it in the showroom, then I saw the price tag. Yeah, visually on the plan I don't think the long table would work that well in terms of the flow of the space, and I think I'm going to stick with a round one. Surprisingly, the space seemed to be able to fit a D100+/- 5cm relatively well after I folded some towels and tape out the area. The Ikea one you pointed out seems ideal in terms of size, but being all white, seemed a tad boring... though I suppose I could have different chairs to mix it up a bit... a pair in white and a pair in oak. Hmm...

Hi Leah. I like the new storage. I'd keep it quite simple. A wooden shelf over the radiator with a round mirror over the top. Add a vase of eucalyptus, candles, diffuser etc on the shelf. Radiator I would just paint in the wall colour If you do paint. If you want you could add a couple of the hooks at the bottom of the stairs for hanging bags, a hat etc and then maybe a belly basket where the box is for kids gloves, scarves etc. I think it would tie in nicely to your living room.
