Did you have wallpaper originally? Looks like the wall has been stripped and I was going to suggest......well, wallpaper. Something with a natural look so it doesn’t distract you when watching tv. So things like grasscloth, concrete effect, brick effect etc., nothing with glitter or a metallic sheen. Actually brick slips or slate brick slips would look really nice, depending on budget. A couple of low side tables either side of the tv unit to help disguise plug sockets and a tall indoor plant next to the patio door will finish things off nicely. Hope this helps, here’s some inspo.

You can also pick a colour and paint or wallpaper it, leave the wall simple but add a large media unit to make a statement. It will also provide storage and a bit of display.

Sofa and living room dilemma

Need desperate help with our awkward living room layout! Our room is a bit awkward with bay window, small alcove, doors into middle room (photos attached). We're trying to decide where to put sofa & tv, and attach a couple of photos. The obvious place to put the tv is in the largest alcove, but this is right beside the south east facing window - I would hate to have the blinds down all the time as we need to bring light into the house. I also don't really like the idea of the tv above the stove, unless really necessary. I attach a few possible layouts.

Hi. Is everything already ordered/bought? I might look at linen for the curtains if not to add a different texture. Does the fireplace actually exist? If it does I might have the furniture arranged at right angles to it. Have you already looked at sisal or sea grass rugs? I think the texture adds warmth. I might be tempted to add a little more colour, aubergine would work for a pattern in cushions, art etc. Do also mix up the textures for cushions, throw etc and add some pattern. I might also add brass or gold for a mirror, picture frames etc as it will look great against the olive. Plants also add life, at minimum I'd add a large potted one by the patio doors.

Hi everyone , thanks for all your comments, everything you have said is exactly what we have been thinking.... flush simple ceiling lights and a floor lamp in the corner, although we are now toying with the idea of two matching lamps on tables at either side of the bay window and maybe adding some wall ornaments or something to add detail above the lamp to balance the curtain height . Yes we were going to add some wall art between the sofa and cabinet. Yes the sofa can be moved closer to the other sofa but that works better if the tv is positioned more in the corner and because of the huge tv it had to be flat on the wall ( I would love the TV to be wall mounted but my husband is old fashioned and the tv HAD to be on a cabinet) there is more space than it looks between back of sofa and cabinet so it's not too univiting and the ottoman seems to line up where it is.

Thanks so much for all your tips. I’ve realised that I definitely don’t like a white stripe above the picture rail as I don’t think it works. But I like the photo called Clapham received there seems to be a stripe of white left under the cornice which looks interesting. Agree paint is the cheapest thing to replace - Although painting takes forever. I’m doing it myself as I got quoted £700 for painting a room! will start with fireplace chimney and opposite wall First and then see. I’d like to keep the fireplace wood unpainted as I really love how it looks right now
