I LOVE the second sofa. I liked it on the first thread but not as much as the one that was most popular but think if this had been the pic, it might have won out for me. There seems to be quite a bit of separation between the two sofas as well as a traffic path between them created by the doors on either side so you don't need to match them. I would not try to match unless you can get an exact match. It looks a bit off to me when items are very close in color and texture but not exact - almost as though you tried to match and failed. If you have a color scheme, you could pick one in the color and one neutral and use pillows to coordinate.

Not exactly a design issue, but one side of my Brookhaven cabs have a plastic dust strip down the front. This mean that one side has to be opened first. You want the dust strip mounted on the right side so you can open the left side first. I have had my DW to the left of my sink, then to its right. It really and truly has not made a difference. My single handle faucet is mounted on the right corner. We turn it on and off by kicking the center mounted Tapmaster, so having it my non-dominant side hasn't made a difference. I love the Tapmaster -- except it means I now kick the baseboards wherever I go, then wonder why the water won't turn on! Our (rarely used) disposal button is on the right, and if we used it often and had a place for it, I guess I would want it on the right. It doesn't require strength, coordination, or agility, so it is not a huge deal. Our magnetic knife holder is on a perpendicular wall to the right of the work space. It is the only logical place for it. I'm not the main cook, so I'm not the one grabbing the knife. I put them back, so using my left hand to do that is not inconvenient. Unlike those credit card swapping machines, I don't find kitchens particularly left-handed or right-handed. I am, ahem, more height-challenged, so that was a bigger consideration for me. Hope this helps.

I think getting the most distance from the corner to the stove would rate higher with me. I'm not likely to prep on the end towards the door because of the to-and-fro. In your setup, I'm not sure about the trash either. It tends to be one of those things every one wants to use at the most inconvenient times for the chef. But also, prep generates a lot of trash, compost and recycling - so I see the benefit of being able to turn and drop, but also the potential for accidents since its so close to the chef's legs. I wonder if its possible to use the angle cabinet on the other wall? Or if its possible to do 80% length drawers under the sink and convert some of the drawers to the right of the range into the trash pullouts?

Can you buy another white floor lamp to match with what you have? You don't want to be crowding the space beside the bed and wall. Put something with the right scale or else it will look crowded. Don't forget a floor plant and some smaller plants to put here and there. They warm up a room. The bright pink lamp is not a good choice for the room. Use a pair of lamps, one on each side if you need the light. Does that wood bed frame go around the sides or is it just a foot board? Try tucking the comforter in and see if it makes the bed look more tailored. Keep that white line in the comforter straight or it will look untidy. Consider laying a white fur throw or heavy cotton throw over the the comforter. Add one or two white decorative pillows. Lighten the bed up a bit. I was going to suggest all the elements in this next picture. You can buy skinny mirrors which could be placed behind table lamps and side tables. The reflection helps make rooms appear larger. Use tall mirrors that reach the wall decor over the headboard. All of it adds interest. Again, not sure what your budget will allow. be creative.
