Ok that's easy enough. I thought we had a bit more room on that facing wall but I can work with that. I don't like a tv jack that requires submission in decor. Since money isn't an object, (and frankly it's not expensive to do) how about we string cable under the carpet to a different location? Are you totally opposed to that? If you don't do that, you are going to be greeting your guests as they walk into the house with the backs of your furniture, which is both unapealing and heck I think it's also not fungi swayed either (I don't do fung but they do have some good principals). There's also wireless cable...do you have that in your area? I know it's realistic to have TV in your home, so I'm not trying to take that out of the room, but I also think you need to consider that this is the room your guests see first. It sets a tone for the house and should be a primary focus for you, given that you don't have a large entry hall (most homes don't now a days). I didn't draw it in here, but one thing I think is a must is that you should have a small table (round) on the entry landing in front of that long window. Or a globe on a stand, something to break the space from living room and entry mentally and physically. You'll be excited to know that you are now going to become a world class globe collector. I've decided that you either travel, or have always wanted to travel and thus...globes are your passion :) You don't have millions, but you do have some wonderful ones scattered throughout the room you exotic little fool you! Your new style is classy and traditional...if you should choose to accept my design :oP But also incorporates influences from around the world :)

I would buy the largest rug possible for the area with the sectional which will help to "pull out" the sofa from that corner. Something with a bit of color to liven up the monochromatic look of the wall and sectional would really help. Instead of red I would consider yellow or lime green pillows, and also pillows with more colors and patterns. I don't see any lighting in that corner which gives it a rather "dead" look. A tall lamp to the left of the sectional would add height to that area in addition to light. Since the mantel already has a shelf-like look, I'm not sure whether shelves are the best idea. They should at least look very different in design and I would paint them the color of the wall. That will make whatever you put on them really stand out. It's a very nice room otherwise. If you like art, a beautiful picture over the mantel would make that area more of a focal point.

Hi, I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out how to furniture this room. The room is freshly painted with a white ceiling and light grey walls. At the moment the room really does not look or feel good at all and I'm running out of my own ideas so I though I'd find some brilliant minds over here! It's meant to be an office but also doubles as a guest room and I'm looking to keep it bright and inspirational. I would say that it's really only 2 pieces of furniture that I want/have to keep from what I have now and that is a sofa bed (1980mm x 950mm) and a Kallax bookshelf (1470 x 1470). I've attached some pictures of the room with measures. Really hope someone here can give me some ideas! Thanks in advance. Best regards, Stefan

If you are keeping your furniture, I would also keep the wall color, which works well with your floors and the blue sofa. I would add a large rug to the living area, in a pattern that incorporates a small amount fo the blue color. The biggest way to update your space is with new artwork. You need larger pieces, or you could try grouping them together. You want art to be hung at eye level when standing. You could try using the largest blue piece on the back wall and grouping all the rest over the sofa. Or keeping the blue one over the sofa and grouping everything else on the back wall with the mirror. Will you have a tv on the console? You could paint just that wall a deep color if so.
