Hi Jasmine almost impossible to give you accurate guidance without room measurements. However a layout similar to below could work with the right size furniture & the TV mounted either over the fireplace or close by. If you got 2 backless bar stools at the kitchen bench this would give you added seating as people can turn around & face the lounge area & be a part of the conversation. This layout also keeps the walk way free to the deck area. A rug would anchor the area. However again I can only say that without room measurements it is difficult to give you the best advice.

if there's a brick chimney showing above the roof you'll need a builder, carpenter or very skilled handyperson to remove the bricks without allowing the roof and ceiling structure to be damaged, then install the doorway, repair the walls, roof, floors and ceiling but a garage usually needs extra waterproofing, lining and flooring to convert into a habitable space..not a simple job but well worth researching to gain an extra bedroom ...be interested to see a full house plan to try and identify alternatives as the corner fireplace probably takes up less space than a stand alone wood burner and removing the old corner fireplace will be a very expensive job in addition to teh cost of the garage conversions.

my suggestion are based on location of existing doors and, without moving any walls, there's just enough space to have an ens, separate dual access powder room and small wiw and biw if the master bedroom is in the smaller room and the French doors open outwards for more walking around space.. adding an internal window to the wiw will give also add light and view from the wiw

Nothing wrong with burnt orange walls in the right context IMO -- I don't think I have ever suggested a mish-mash of brightly coloured stools' -- I would sooner have say a burnt orange feature wall and 4 tall orange and chrome stools at a white or timber breakfast bar , as opposed to white , white , white and white . The bedroom already had that nice blue picture , and the plantation blinds . What was changed ? They took out the grey pillowslips , and colour co-ordinated it . Yes , read that again -- they took out the grey . And it looks better IMO . The stairs conversely -- they added grey textured wallpaper or maybe it is panelling . I don't like the style of light used anyway , but IMO by going black and gold against grey emphasises that difference , and similarly the cart in the same black and gold , with grey carpet just doubles down . Maybe it's my bizarre taste , but I don't like grey and gold mixed -- black and grey and silver works but is bland ; black and gold ( without silver ) is generally classy . Without knowing the colours in the surrounding rooms , apart from probably blue in the one bedroom , it's difficult to say , but if it was 'just' those stairs on their own , I'd change the light obviously ( probably something with a modern look and in mainly black , a bit of chrome ? ) , the textured walls on charcoal as it looks modern , but with a colourful abstract picture to add colour , and if keeping the grey carpet , I'd have chrome on the cart , and possibly a bit of red or orange -- you see that white vase , imagine that in red for instance . See , we are all different , you may love what they've done , I don't . A couple of other commenters love it , a couple don't . I like colour in my life ( around a theme generally ) -- arrest me !
