In addition to David suggestions, think of a family and their storage and living needs:

Hall:
Shoes
coats
Bags

Kitchen:
Fresh vegetables
tinned goods
Tall boxes for cereal
Cold goods
Frozen goods for a large family
Crockery
Bakingware
Cookware
Utensils
Glassware
Placemats for dining
small appliances,
Bin/recycling
Secure storage for alcohol, medicines, etc

Utility/laundry:

Cleaning supplies
Vacuum and brooms, etc
laundry,
pet supplies

Lounge
internet/ WiFi devices
Log storage for a fire/burner (if rel)

Area to work from home
Office/paperwork

Other:
Christmas decorations

Bedroom/bath:

linen and towel storage (pref near to beds/baths)
Toilet rolls
Beauty/makeup supplies
Clothes
Shoes

Toys
Books
Hobby space
place for kids to do homework

I am guessing a house like this would have a garage or shed to store bikes and outdoor furniture, etc

I purchased a house 5 years ago which had been a tiny 2 bed cottage and been extended over time to 3 times it’s original size to become a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom family home. It had been well converted and decor was good.

However, storage wasn’t taken into account in the extension plans. The only linen cupboard wasn’t big enough to hold linen for all the bedrooms and was positioned in an inconvenient area of the house. None of the bathrooms had towel storage. We have slowly reconfigured it, incorporating built ins or furnishing each room to introduce storage so the house is more practical to live in.

You have a lovely spacious house so have lots of opportunities to make it into a smart and comfortable home.

@Nekul I have to be honest, the answer to my dilemma was: I stopped shopping haha I genuinely have bought very little since making this post, simply because I couldn't find what I'm after. The most likely places for me to spot the odd piece I like are Sweetpea & Willow (not exactly affordable), Swoon and Rockett St George. I occasionally buy from Maisons Du Monde or La Redoute but both don't offer value for money (or a great shopping experience - items lost in transit or arriving damaged). I did stumble across J N Rusticus, though, which - if that's your style - I can highly recommend. My all-time favourite is still the US based CB2 which do ship internationally but not all items and only if you spend a minimum of $5000....

I do like quite modern but as the house is old I don’t want to put my grey cloth sofas and cuddle chair in, it would look so wrong. Thought maybe a black leather chesterfield in that room and a small dining table and just a couple of chairs. The ceiling is very high with original cornice and I dropped on a beautiful old nine arm glass chandelier at a local auction for £23 last week so that’s my starting point. The room is about 14ft square and I will have a tv in there in the alcove by the larger window. The photo was taken late afternoon which makes it look a bit dark but it is a really bright house. It is not overlooked at all the garden is to the side by the small window and is about a quarter of an acre. Hoping to get some chickens and ducks soon. The flooring is dark brown with grey streaks in it. I quite like the damask heavy wallpapers. I wanted to go for all white walls throughout with the odd feature wall but my mum thinks it will look like a huge cow shed and thinks different shades of grey should be used. Sorry to ramble on but as we are starting from scratch we want to get it right. Thanks.

I think I prefer the Ikea sofa as the Next one looks a little bulky for the room, washable covers also sound good. I do prefer the Ikea sofa I added but yours should work too, they're identical except for the arms. I also think they work well with the chairs, a different style is good. Just personal opinion but again for me if you're going industrial I would go for a wood floor and it adds so much warmth to a room, LVT may be a softer option? (Last try I promise!). Not sure if you like any of this? I didn't find cushions to match just in case you hate this one and it takes a while looking! It's impossible to choose art for somebody but you may like these. Junique and desenio are also good for affordable prints. Neon signs are also a good way to personalise a room if that's your thing i would add lots of texture for accessories, I think you need to get the furniture agreed first though. I would go for a light neutral for the walls. Need to know which way the room faces and you could work with any undertone in the navy paint

Just remember that everything requires scaffolding for access, lighting is tricky and it costs a lot more in paint, curtain lengths, labour, everything really. I have 5m ceilings. The scale is difficult to master design wise.
