yh. i thought about that sofa&bed solution but my bedroom is upstairs so i dont really need to go after that solution. a corner sofa would be defo great for that space dont you think? Another thing is that these wicker chairs are bought to be outside in the alley :) we bought them a couple of days ago. That space will be used to watch sports on telly and play games on the playstation and watching movies of course so i dont believe that chairs are a good solution to have here. A couch will be a better solution because i can stretch my legs out :D oh and when football's on we need more action and a little less conversation like the song goes :) I've got 2 computers. the one next to the stairs is an old one so i wont keep it. the other which is functional will be placed next to the WC door as you can see. i think there is enough space for an 1m desk and an office chair with wheels. I used to have a computer armoire but i hate them...

you really need some art. and something in the corner. Try this I gave you a natural texture type of pendant light. I think it works better than the oversized floor lamp you have Similar room styles or, try a lamp like this. BTW, did you knwo you can top your console w/a piece of lumber? just cut it to fit and use adhesive to set. style like shown here. or, style your console like this. you could use some greenery. large art, tall plant, assorted pillows w/color don't hang the art too high. from floor to center should be 56" you could do something like this on either side of the console or:

Ok, I have an exercise for you. Take a look at the plant on the stair landing and kinda blur your eyes and take note of contract and mass. mass meaning the items that take up visual space. Look for balance. The stair rails are balanced. The tree isn't balanced by anything. Not that everything needs to be balance, I actually prefer not to have things two by two. If the plant were not so dense, ti might work, plus you would need at taller more interesting planter. To me, what would fit here, if you HAVE to have something, would be a bench that goes with the style of your house. I normally would say no to a bench because, well who would sit on it. Even though I am a form before function person. Since you just moved in, and you're a minimalist, take your time choosing the things that will make your house a home. At this point you don't have anything that shows your interests or personality, well, except for that cat in the window. It's something you wouldn't find in anyones home. Not that everything needs to be one of a kind, but you need to love it enough that you wouldn't want to replace it. In my living room there are things that you would not find at homegoods, in fact, many things you would have a hard time finding at all. Because I choose things that I love then make it work. That plant in the corner of the fireplace does not look good, why? Because it is too short and brings the eye down and the pot is white. The planter is a place that you could enhance by bringing in color or texture. One thing to note, your furnishings are farmhouse and your house is traditional glam. They are not so farmhouse that they look bad, just different style. And really, it's mostly the coffee table and the dining table. And the sofas are a bit casual. If I had the creative energy I would redesign your living room and dining room. If you are not married to the furniture, your house is worthy of getting a designer in and making it spectacular. By the pillows I see you arent' totatally a color phobic, bringing in some color would make your home more lively to the eye. If you had a designer to help, you would walk into your living room every day and feel like you were in a magazine. Not everyone wants that, but I think you do. Sorry for the length of this post. Once my fingers get going, every thought pours out. Lastly, a beautiful floor lamp would really be nice in the corner, as others have mentioned, for two reasons, raised the eye and at night would be beautiful on. Ok, the end. Oh wait, here's a quote for you 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful' - William Morris. This describes my house perfectly, even though I just recently found it. When I walk into my living room I see things that have personal memories, I love for their beauty, uniqueness, etc, OR I can sit on. Sorry, I have more to say. Some people love the, what I call, Furniture Store Look. They go into a furniture store and want their space to look exactly like it. And that is perfectly fine. In fact, when I look at those rooms I feel a sense of calm and strangely, a lack of feeling. I don't look at things and wonder about them. Where did they originate, what meaning do they have to the person who lives there. If someone has personal photos in their home, I feel a connection to them and have a glimpse into their lives. If I go to a furniture store, I feel nothing. No emotions, no connections. You need to decide what YOU want to feel in your own home. Forget about other people, you don't decorate for others, otherwise you lose yourself. Now, sometimes things that have no meaning at the time grow on you and you attach emotions to them through daily living with them. But please listen to William Morris. If you feel the the farmhouse table is beautiful and you love it, even though others might think it doesn't go with your home (me) others be damned, it's your house and you should do what makes you happy in it. ok, really, the end. I should go do xmas returns to keep me away from posting more. It's just that decorating your home is more feeling than furniture.
