How to make use of this space
Hi all, I need some help!
This is our current living room (we don’t have the table anymore or the painting) however it feels so empty. I would love to use this space better and have a dinning table/desk but we don’t have much room. Make it feel more homey! Any ideas what I can do? Should the sofa be on the other side? And then a shelf or something about it with frames? Rug? Coffee table etc? Any advice would be amazing. Can I even fit in a table? Please help!

last monthI would try to zone the room and make more use of the space in the upper half of the room to create balance. You don't provide measurements but if the room is around 4m x 5m something like this should work. If you use some free standing cubby storage, something like the Ikea Expedit if you can still find some, you will have storage and an attractive unit for books and ornaments. It will also give you a surface against which you can set a sofa - a corner sofa would be best but yours should work if there is space. You could find space for a standard lamp or a table lamp on an occasional table on the right of the shelving, or possibly to the right of the sofa - as I say I don't have measurements.
On the other side of the room create a bank of shelving units and put the TV in the middle. You can buy these ready to assemble.

Comments (15)Hi Lauren. Without measuring up I'm not sure if this would work as pictures can be deceptive and estate agents plans not always wholly accurate:) However this room looks to be the same width as yours with the window in the same position. As you can see the bed head is a little wider than the chimney breast. If you could do this (I'm guessing it leaves 2.5ft walkway at the end assuming the door actually opens!), you could have a built in dressing table in the left alcove with the wardrobe in the top right hand corner (with sliding doors) as per the plan. If not I agree, it looks as if you'd need to go for shallow depth wardrobes. I'd cut out paper templates of everything and try them in the room...See MoreRequire a professional architect/designer to help improve my property!
Comments (11)I think you are conflicting whether you want and architect or and interior designer there. I think perhaps look at the structural work first then the rest will play out accordingly. We have also had massive issue getting anyone to work here in south wales, but the difference is we know what we want doing, so interesting to hear your having difficulty on the other end of things. We found architects without issue when needed ... just not on here .. YET (limited houzz users in the back of beyond)...See MoreConverting double garage to kitchen - layout opinions
Comments (1)I know how it feels to want to make the house into the great property you know it could be but there are upsides to living in it through the seasons before making final decisions. This house has a lot of land and I was in the minority agreeing that the kitchen should go in the garage and the drive diverted, not to save money but to achieve a large room with a sunny terrace. But if you wait and get to know the property and outside space and where the sun is at different times of year the best solution might just become obvious to you....See More
