Need Help with Living Room/ Dining Room
Comments (9)A Roman blind is a good idea or curtains that hang outside of the window recess when open to allow maximum light to pour in. Whichever you choose, make sure they are hung high near the ceiling to make the ceiling feel higher up. What do you use the conservatory for? Is the door in the second photo the main entrance into the room? Would the table fit comfortably nearer the window end of the room instead? Then the sofa could go to the other end of the space - not sure if it fits. It's hard to see how the layout works from the photos and without the measurements or a floor plan. Alternatively, would the sofa fit it you turned it so that it faces the centre of the room rather than the window? I'd hang the seaweed mirror above the sideboard or behind the sofa (depending on final layout) and change the floor lamp to one which reaches over into the living space. Also, you need a much larger rug for the living space. The mirror and art are hung too high at the moment. After the layout is decided then you can think about maybe using wallpaper on one wall.

Comments (23)Hi Kate. It looks a nice room. You only have a couple of pics in your ideabook so there's not much to go on in terms of style and colour. Maybe go for something like the first pic however with a pale grey paint with a blue/lavender undertone on the walls (which your sofas appear to have) and also paint the radiators the same colour. You don't mention if you need privacy, if not, I'd go for Roman blinds hung outside the recess in the wall colour to make the room feel bigger/taller. Similar to the pic id add navy, white and deep mauve cushions and a throw mixing texture (include some velvet!) and pattern. If you add brass for lamps etc it will add warmth in addition to some green for a plant and flowers for the coffee table. This may be a no no (!) but a light grey cowhide rug may work (without markings) to avoid rug "rules". I also like the panelling in the first pic and you could use wallpaper panelling on one wall to the same effect if you're on a budget. The last 2 pics are just really showing how a cowhide rug and panelling could work in an elegant scheme with industrial touches. Depending on layout I might remove the shelves and add a huge mirror over the dining table although ideally it would be on the long wall to make the room feel wider. Dining tables do look good against the back of sofas which may potentially (!) work if your sofas were opposite each other on the short walls and perhaps the door opened the other way but then I'm not sure where the tv would go!...See MoreSmall dwelling with too many doors and bad "flow"!
Comments (16)Do you need two bedrooms?...... you could make bedroom 2 into a super dressing room, with access from bedroom 1 you could fit it out with ceiling high units on either side this would give you loads of storage and would also remove the entry door. Also reduce the bathroom to a toilet only (always need two toilets) this would give you a bigger kitchen, then block the door into the lounge, this will also give you a better room for furniture placement in there. Good luck, it’s not easy to downsize, just done it myself and we have to remember it’s for out use for most of the time.....this means no bedroom for our Grandchildren, but the love sleeping on the sofas....See MoreOpen plan Kitchen living dining layout
Comments (1)First, you should decide what you want by the doors..... dining table or sofa? The corner door opening..... putting glass in those corners doesn't allow furniture to go there. I wouldn't have a sofa against the doors as to me it defeats the purpose. I'd shorten the expanse of glass. Also draw it on paper to scale with a table to scale, the dining table you have there can't be to scale, it would take up at least 2.5 m of your 4m width,...See More

I would consider this a studio apartment? There was a great recent article on an innovative design of one, that had a very small internal bedroom and larger reception space. If you swapped your kitchen and bathroom (creating alternative access to the balcony) you could have a small sleeping zone, then make your current bedroom into the dining room.
None of this may be at all possible of course! Maybe get in touch with the designers?!

Love Karen at onePlans idea. The 2nd pic illustrates her idea for the gate leg table behind the sofa. You may also have enough space for a slim table as in the first pic, if you didn't want a gate leg, just push the sofa forward fractionally. If you didn't want to see the wardrobes from the living space you could also add a slim bookcase at the end
