Matt Patterson, it's because Americans love stuff...lots and lots of stuff. All the built-in storage space in our country is a relatively new idea. We live in an 1890s Victorian without a single closet, and I couldn't be happier about it, because it has helped us cure our addiction and attachment to stuff. It's a simpler, happier life, and it has freed up untold amounts of money and time.

Hi. I think I'd go for the darker green on all walls as from memory you said the room was really light. Personally I wouldn't have the tv on the panelled ŵall as its your feature ŵall and the tv will stand out if you're going for green. Hang the tv above the sideboard on the left hand ŵall. Add table lamps either side of the tv so it conceals the leads. Pull both sofas out from the walls a little. Add the chair where the stove is but not pushed into the corner so it has space behind it. You could try the ladder towards the rhs of the panelled ŵall and move the floor lamp to where the small sideboard is. I'd paint the sideboard charcoal as it will have more impact than the current grey ( although that will still look good) against the green and then add just a couple of grey cushions. Maybe a modern pendant for the ceiling. I don't think it will be too cluttered, you are losing bigger pieces. What is next to the sideboard though as that looks a little cluttered? Do practice with the new sideboard though before you buy the chair so you can see how much space there is

Thanks for the pics. I would pull the sofas apart a little as the arms are overlapping a little or try one in front of the door/window and accessorise the table between them. In terms of colour if the carpet is staying I'd look at a warm greige for a more modern look or a pale but warm green to work with the paper as well as the floor. There's quite a lot of dark furniture, I'd paint the door frames and maybe the china cabinet, something like a pale turquoise? You could also paint the dining chair frames just to lighten them up (appreciate you may not want to though!). I would also paint the fire but in a whitewash, build up the layers so the brick is still showing through rather than a solid white look which can look cold. Perhaps swap some of the striped cushions for some florals and add a textured throw over one arm. I would try grouping some of the accessories together. Is there a plug socket where the wallpaper is as a lamp would look good and add some height? In future I might consider a coffee table or upholstered footstool. Maybe a plant next to the tv in a jute or other natural plant holder. I'll try and find some pics for accessorising the fireplace. Is it a cabinet to the left of the fire as you could dress this as a seat with cushions?

Hi Sarah, I'm sorry I'm not sure what the exact colour is, it was a picture I had saved on Pinterest as I thought the colour was lovely and was looking for something similar. F&B cabbage white looks nice but I haven't tried a sample. Hague blue is stunning but definitely quite a statement, where exactly are you going to use it?
