I had to settle for a shower for years and years because the place we lived in only had a shower although my showers are deefinitely not a three minute person, more like 15min ha-ha I too decided on a spa bath in our new build, one that is big enough to fit two people but is simply a bath shape and I'm finding it hard to get myself back into baths because of being used to a shower for so long but I don't regret it either. I used to read the paper in the bath back when papers were what was around back then and I do miss that ha-ha

Hey there, by NH do you mean New Hampshire? Maybe try posting this on houzz.com for more US advice :)

Hi Ali, It's a lovely room, I'm glad you showed more of it!! Judging by your comments, it seems the issue is where the powerpoints are and not where you want the TV to be am I right??? The TV would be better where your liquor table is, still up on the wall though however, I don't know if you can successfully turn your lounge to do that, as you would then have the lounge in the middle of the room and you would be looking at the back of the lounge when in the dining area but you could put a small console table behind the lounge, even the liquor stand , effectively creating the start and finish to each space. Anyway, for now, if it's a power point issue then simply leave the TV where you've put it and save up to get more suitable points put in. Hope this helps. Cheers, Barbara

Hi there Mel, with all the males in your house you can't hide the TV, we had a similar problem with positioning lounges and didn't want to replace our furniture. Our living, dining kitchen etc all have water views via big windows and sliding doors which really gives you great views while reducing wall space. We placed our sectional with enough space to walk behind it (we have full length timber venetians) in front of the 1st lounge window facing into the room. TV is on the end brick wall, we then have a couple of separate chairs opposite that can be moved if needed. I would agree that the best position for your sectional lounge could be with the back of the lounge towards the kitchen with the other section running along the wall. Keeping in mind the Males in your family (1) mount the TV in the same space on the small flat wall so that it can pivot, just thinking that the pool is right there, the boys could then have access to watching TV from the pool. (2) Put a low bench with storage in front of the window opposite the pool with the TV on this (they could still have access to watch from the pool.) not sure what window treatment you have in mind, you mentioned louvers which are great for air flow. Possible other is white internal shutters. A sofa table behind the lounge would add useful interest to the rear of the sofa. I agree with Domu & House Matters ideas. A couple of photos of our place I will try to find one of furniture placement if You like, cheers,
