Do you prefer fireplace or TV furniture as focal point of living room

Your views pls: we have a large flat screen TV positioned centrally on the chimney breast (not clear on the photo), however the fireplace is offset, not central to the chimney breast. We originally fitted the TV central to the fireplace but it didn't look right as the TV overlapped the right hand edge of the chimney breast. It just doesn't look right in either position. Would it be better in the left alcove (it just fits the width) or the right alcove (which is wider) above one of the bookcases? The other consideration is the TV leads, they cannot be chased into the old stone walls. The sockets are on the left alcove. Thoughts anyone?

You have an amazing room and your idea of a double sided fireplace is awesome. I agree with colourhappy in not having a carpet but a wood floor. From the description of your taste you sound as if you like rustic and homely. A wood floor would look amazing and could be dressed with animal skin rugs or arty rugs or sheepskin - you could change the look with the seasons. You also seem to have some fab retro/mid century furniture on the far side of the room. Maybe you could change your sofa to something either retro or modern (think square - see dwell.co.uk for examples) and keep this style going. Clean modern lines would really give this room a fab look. Also, as the room is both a living room and study, could you move the dining room into this room and the study to the dining room? I think the room's identity as a living space would be more consolidated this way, if it's possible.

Hi Sarah, Just seen your query and thought I would drop you a note! Sounds super exciting and like you have lots of moving parts - which can be overwhelming, but also means there's tons of potential to make an impact :) I'd love to talk with you further to see what elements you're already moving ahead with (for example the flooring/not sure if that has already been ordered). I like the idea's you have for colours so far so can definitely give you some advice on that - drop me an email on emeraldandblush@gmail.com and we can chat in a bit more detail! Speak soon, Amy x

Is this fireplace original?
Q

Looks very original to me. These are getting rarer and rarer and there is even a market for reclaimed and restored ones. They were mass produced back in the day but then so were Victorian houses and today period properties with period features are highly sought after whereas 40 years ago they were being ripped out and thrown away. Although these were functional elements just like Victorian ones, they were also the main design feature of the room and therefore intended to be decorative, but maybe in a style that is not well understood even today. Whether or not you keep it in your house depends on whether you like to look at it or not, whether it makes you feel good that you have an original feature of the house, a small piece of history. I don't think I've ever come across a piece of furniture that couldn't be made to look good with the right style and context. It could look great if you go for a contemporary take on an art deco style.
