Can't tell exactly from the pics but could the two sofas be brought closer together positioned facing each other with a coffee table inbetween and the tv then put underneath the stairs? Would there be enough room to walk from the door through to the back room? It would make a nice seating area on the rug which you could change to a bold geometric monotone one if budget allows. Then some bold complimentary cushions also in monotones for the sofas and I agree with the pops of orange. I don't think it would matter if the sofas went right up to the present tv wall. At the moment everything seems to be pushed to the furthest extremes. Then you could have a table/desk or the pine cabinet under the window. I would paint it with Annie Sloan chalk paint which is very easy because you do not have to sand or undercoat and you can finish it with just a wipe of her wax which gives a nice finish. Paris grey is a good neutral colour. You could paint the wall with it also. (Sorry but I don't like the wallpaper sample. It looks too bedroomy to me.) If you are ever in a position to do so I would have the chimney breast removed because it has no purpose, takes up valuable space and is off centre as well. The wall facing the stairs would look nice a medium grey and needs a wow factor with a collection of some colourful or big art. I don't think the mirror works there. It just accentuates how the chimney breast is off centre. I would put pictures above the whole seating area on both the chimney breast and the wall to the right of it to centre the whole look. Not sure what you curtains are or whether they need to stay. Something to consider..... :)

Double post. Go here: https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/5706640/please-help-me-design-my-bedroom#n=0

the rooms have a lovely basis and can very easily be transformed as the floor looks very contemporary I would continue down that route... the pic Jonathan added and the pictures I added would suit the room perfectly you need to put in some paneling which a contemporary art canvas/picture in one of the squares and have some velvet sofas to continue on with the same style. I personally don't think the circular rug would look that great but choice is yours :) please send pics of the finished thing when it's done

Hey everyone I'm in a bit of a design pickle and would love to tap into your collective brilliance! I'm trying to refurbish my new home and I've hit a wall. I'm hoping you can offer some fresh perspectives and creative solutions. Essentially I'm unsure whether to simply re-jig the layout downstairs or extend. And if / how to extend upstairs to increase bedroom space/give us a nice master bedroom. There is a flat roof above the utility and playroom - and garage - which may lend themselves to extensions. There is also an orangery with a roof lantern which is a bit high and obscures the view from the bedroom above. 1) I'd like to have an open plan family / living / dining area downstairs with a separate 'cosy' lounge area for evenings (current dining room isn't used) 2) Re-jigging the layout so the utility doesn't have a corridor feel between the kitchen and playroom is a consideration. And so the playroom is more connected to the main living areas 3) The study is currently a very dark room so relocating it would be nice 4) I'd really like to have a view of the garden from the front door but not sure if this is possible 5) I need more space for laundry/shoes, etc. 6) A pantry cupboard for the kitchen would be nice! 7) The fourth bedroom is very small, ideally I want 4 if not 5 decent bedrooms 8) We have a nice garden, it would be good to make the most of the aspect from the back of the house. What would you do which is sensible and pragmatic - as I understand that extensions are not cheap these days! Thank you!
