Hi, there! What a great start to this room and a great friend you are for helping this gentleman. 1) I agree with what others have said about placing the two sofas facing each other perpendicular to the fireplace, with the coffee table in between and turning the rug. 2) I also agree that the artwork is what should go above the fireplace, not the tv. Then I think the tv could go on the wall opposite the fireplace, if there is enough room. But if placing the tv in the room with the artwork above the fireplace is difficult, then the tv could go above the fireplace. 3) It's hard to tell where the chandelier is located, but if possible, I'd swag it to be centered over the coffee table and centered with the fireplace. 4) I'd place a large tufted bench with roll arms and small side table or floor lamp in the bay window. This can easily be moved aside or in front of the fireplace during Christmas to make room for a large Christmas tree. 5) I'd go with a medium to dark grey on the walls, leaving the moulding white and LOVE the idea of the accent color of purple on the fireplace wall. I'd also paint all the radiators in the same color as the walls to "hide" them a bit. (You can also have boxes built around the radiators to make it look like a piece of furniture.) 6) If you move the artwork, you will have a blank space between the wall sconces. If those are permanent fixtures, you could place an assortment of mirrors on this wall arranged like artwork. 7) I would find a nice buffet (maybe something like this: http://www.westelm.com/products/parsons-mirror-console-g199/?pkey=cconsoles-buffet-tables&cm_src=consoles-buffet-tables||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-) to place under the sconces, then you can place the chairs to either side of the buffet. It would be a great counter to have for entertaining purposes, to put out an assortment of appetizers. And a design like this, you don't have to be too concerned with covering up or getting too close to the radiator. And the chairs can be stored to either side, but be brought out into the main area for entertaining. Alternatively, you could place a large decorative floor mirror leaning against the wall between the sconces (with the chairs on either side) and place a nice buffet console table behind the couch across from it. 8) To either side of the fireplace in the "nooks", I would put some wood console tables or cabinets (they don't have to be a matching set) in a deep rich java. On top of those, I'd place a tall buffet table lamp and place either one nice piece of art on the wall above or an arrangement of smaller art. You could also do one piece on one side and an arrangement on the other. 9) I would straighten the back couch cushions to make them look more streamlined and place the accent pillows against the back in somewhat of a line, rather than haphazardly. So, there would be one small accent pillow for each of the back pillows or at least evenly spaced out. Golds and bronzes would also look lovely with the greys and purples and I like the idea above about adding something zebra print, too. You have such great pieces to work it, I think most of it will just take rearranging and adding a few things here and there. Good luck! I would love to see the "after" photos!!!

Advice on paint colour for rooms with wood detail
Q
Comments (11)
Hello Caw01 I love houses with period character. It makes the space feel a lot more earthy and homely. The colour is important but also what feeling does the space leave you with when walk in. I would consider the space between the wood as negative space. The main feature is the wood. I would paint it with a woodstain, Ronseal do one in that is quick drying. Go for Matt finish not gloss to keep it looking natural and go for a natural colour like Antique or Mahagony. I would go for a durable paint live vinyl-Matt in Brilliant White by Dulux, Wickes do a decent-is in house brand version. Your home is beautiful instead of focusing on the negative space between the wood. Make the wood itself the feature and everything is a neat and clean white. Good Luck on your project and share with us the finished product Cheers

Hidden ensuite in wardrobe so not to block the detailed ceiling??

Do you mean just a shallow cuoboard en suite? The other room that mimics this one had a weird box just stuck in up to the ceiling on the right side and it left an awkward space but also cut into the ceiling. Will see if I have a photo tomorrow to show you what I mean. But that has a shower and it's a tiny room so didn't want to take that much of it up. I might remodel that as well to make it longer 😂 Thought if we made it look almost like freestanding furniture/storage cupboards then someone could use it as a lounge as well in the future (especially if they turn the house back into one) but I don't know. Its not desperate but when we do our current bathroom next to it then I need to decide as it will need plumbing in at the same time. 🤣
