Comments (23)oh dear! Can you try and achieve a modern country look? Have a look at this pic. Instead of the wallpaper go for a trellis/geometric/trefoils style one. This is from thibault but there are lots around. Change the rug in the pic for a contemporary style. Change the floral cushions for modern patterned ones perhaps a mix of geometric and a modern floral. Maybe just have one sofa but have a couple of funky occasional chairs? I do love your rug but it may be a little big unless you pull it away from the hearth a foot or so and bring your sofa in the window forward 2-3 ft to sit on the rug ( also bring in the other from the wall). Does your tv fit on the coffee table? I personally would change to a wood floor as I think they always look modern but that's me!...See MoreWhat to put under tv?
Comments (63)What are the maximum dimensions of the footstool? Also what's the height of the sofa to the seat cushion? Personally I'd go for a Chesterfield on legs to keep the feeling of space in a plain fabric with a tray on top as AJ suggested...See MoreNeed inspiration please to liven up our lounge!
Comments (9)It's a cosy room apart from the radiator wall. I would paint the alcoves very dark, so that the TV is not s dominant. I think a radiator cover, or painting the radiator in the same colour would help. Then get a big picture, or a wall hanging for that blank space. . I wonder if you could persuade your husband that a lower tv stand would allow for more comfortable viewing?, it is quite high. I don think a bigger tv would help....See MoreAlcove TV Unit, TV is 0.5cm too big! What about ceiling speakers?
Comments (15)Hi Tony. I think having the tv at an angle and building the cupboard out a little is probably the best option if you didn’t want to downsize the tv. Regarding speakers, ceiling speakers are a good idea if you’re in the construction phase, they usually come in pairs (left and right) and four would be more than adequate for a large room. You would need the ceiling speaker hoods as well for fire and sound protection. Also the necessary wiring would need to be hidden and all speaker wires go to an AV receiver which then connects to tv ( I think...not really an expert on this). Have a look at Richer sounds website, they should have lots of info: https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/in-wall-ceiling-speakers.html @ Jonathan, I can feel my hubby’s horrified look if he heard you say that TVs alone have adequate speakers ;-) (he is a perfectionist when it comes to tech stuff mind). We prefer freestanding speakers so we can upgrade as and when. And finally is the fireplace already existing? If not (at the risk of offending other Houzzers:)) maybe consider tv set into chimney breast above a low ribbon style fire, perhaps bio ethanol fuel as these wouldn’t need a flue. Tv above fire is usually a big no no as the tv is too high up and would cause neck strain but the modern styles could work well. Some photos for inspiration (click to enlarge)...See More

I really like your fireplace surround. It would be really nice to get or install something to compliment it. go for billy/ besta combination. besta 120cm (60+60 combination) cabinet with legs and put a top 132cm to go for wall to wall. Complete with billy/besta wall cabinet above. If someone is able to do some diy you can add some side panels to look built in. Look on the YouTube, there are videos people do it. The on the other side take billy tall cabinets (80cm+80cm) as built in bookcases. go for white cabinets and combination of glass and solid doors. You would be also able to add some cabinet lights . Good luck. Let me know if you need help x
