wow, thank you so much for all your great ideas!!! Unfortunately I cannot move the table centrally as it would block the way between the kitchen and the stairs/ doorways... I like the ideas of moving the pendant lights right above the table, installing a large mirror on the empty wall..I could actually move the sideboard there and add nice baskets for shoes next to the door . Also add a big painting above the table. Gonna give a few try to see what works! and agree the blind doesnt look good, it was just previously there. Thanks :)

Hi. Great rooms. What size are the rooms as I'd be wary of hanging anything too high that accentuates the height as you'll risk the rooms looking a bit cupboard like? I think at minimum the top quarter of the wall should be clear. I agree with hanging pendants low, the one over the bed Looks a good height but could perhaps be bolder so it draws your eye? The one over the sofa could Go a tad lower and I'd move the copper one to hang over the console. Also agree with darker/warmer paint and it needn't include a picture rail. I like the art shown in the last pic, if you hang art in horizontal lines perhaps in a group of 3 it should make the room feel wider. Horizontal lines of anything are good such as long furniture, rug etc. I think you need to play around with height a little other than just art, perhaps an arc lamp over the sofa and a tall plant. The blinds work well as they're not accentuating the height. Are the doors standard height or tall? If standard you could look at making them appear taller. It's quite hard to find ways of making rooms look lower as most people have the opposite problem, however ways to make them taller are easy to find online so would read them and in most instances do the reverse!

I think you're right jessa61, about waiting. The thing is, as you said, you're not in the house yet. When you get in and the floors, walls are ready and the main sofa is in, then add to it. You may dislike what you have in your head as soon as you see it all in situ, you may not. I really like the last table you posted, it's great with the sofa, and, in truth, i actually really dislike all the thin framed marble top tables around at the moment. It's not a trend i'm on board with. I would definitely wait for the accent chairs. Chesterfields are beautiful and statement pieces, however, they can be uncomfortable to sit on for long, there's no upper body / neck support and you can't lounge on them. So, this is why i personally think they go very well with high backed armchairs. You lounge on the armchairs with your feet up on the footstools. Also, you say you want two footstools, which is great to go with the armchairs, but you sound like you want to sit on the sofa and have them in front of you, which will be difficult with a coffee table in the way. The footstools can stay with the armchairs and be occasional seating, yes, the chesterfield needs to sit with the coffee table in front of it, not footstools. I think the side tables are a good idea, i'm not sure about the height you need, i'd wait to see how you use the seating before deciding. The height may be irrelevant and you may not want lamps on them at all.

Not really sure what you can do with the cubes but I would try to think bigger. A few substantial good looking items often work better than lots of spread out small nik-naks. Perhaps start with one or two oversized plants. I also feel you probably have too much display shelving and cubes. Yes, a large vintage sign above the sofa opposite the TV would work well.
