Entry Chest?

Hello. I am a designer in North Carolina and some of my clients fell in love with this entry console chest. Can you share any additional info?
Thanks, Alys

Hello

Unfortunately this piece was the clients own which they had procured a long time before we worked with them.

I am sorry that I cannot be of more assistance on this occasion.

Kind Regards

Mia

Hi. I would try rearranging the furniture slightly. Try the desk on the back wall next to the wardrobe. Swap the chest of drawers and bed around (assuming the door will open, hard to tell from pics!). There's quite a contrast between the blue and cream walls. It looks as if your son has london skyline pillows (or it looks like St Paul's from what I can see!). If so, why not try a slightly urban look? You can get enormous wall murals from around £30. Try the London skyline or maybe a banksy mural or something he's interested in. Unless you can afford made to measure just get the biggest one, centre on the wall and paint the remainder so it acts as a border (depending in the image you may be able to trim the top and bottom so height wise it fits perfectly). If a mural isn't up his street try brick wallpaper and add street signs (you can get cheap vinyl ones if on a budget) or prints of whatever he's interested in. If he likes the blue (is he a chelsea fan?!) , paint the window wall in a soft grey/blue. If he doesn't maybe try navy or charcoal grey. Adding a throw ( a manly one!) and 1/2 cushions on the bed will help. If he likes the street signs idea you can get these or tube stations etc pretty cheaply or just add dark grey ones with a bit of texture.

I am struggling to place furniture

I agree, the dining table and chairs are OK where they are; the problem seems to be with the sitting area. You should definitely bring in some plants and artwork/ photos. Perhaps put a 'gallery wall' of photos or art above where the sofa is currently. I would put low bookcases or perhaps a console table with lamps in against the walls in this corner and 'float' the seating furniture out, away from the walls. It may seem counter-intuitive but sometimes floating furniture more into the middle of an area can make it seem bigger, even if it means you can't walk straight through in a beeline to the kitchen. I think the main problem with the space is that the large through-way is actually dominating the space and making the centre of the room feel vacant. Experiment with rearranging the sofa and chairs to see what works best. Be bold and bring it right out into the middle and, if that doesn't work, take it further back. You may be surprised at what works well. It's also nice to put the sofa and chairs sort of facing each other (you could angle the chairs a little if you like. You could even angle the sofa!). I read somewhere recently that if furniture is placed in a 'conversational' position, it will seem more inviting and will encourage sociability.

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 Henry, Some photos would be great when you get some time to help really visualise the space. If you would like a concept design putting together for your room I can do this for you for £150. Here is an example of a bedroom design I put together earlier this year. www.myclaybrickhome.com/post/master-bedroom-concept-design-3 My design work can be completed remotely following a free intitial phone consulation with yourself and your girlfriend to understand how you both want to use and more importantly feel in the space. We can utilise your existing furniture in a scaled plan to see how it can be moved within the space, and maybe even repurposed. Feel free to get in touch by replying to this message, or dropping me an email at vicky@myclaybrickhome.com Rgds Vicky
