Sideboard, low line unit or wall unit

We have finally moved into our townhouse - yippee. Can I please ask for some help designing a storage solution for the lounge area (mums glory box just won't cut the mustard...).
We have planned for the TV to be wall hung and the wall is 4.2 metres long from fireplace to external door. I do have sheer curtains that will need to be pulled back from the door, so maybe the unit shouldn't go the whole way. What are some ideas so that I can complete this room.
Thanks in advance.

8 years agoWhite cabinetry, scandi styles with natural linen, blonde timbers etc. Just bought slate ottoman with Aqua and Lilac cushions for the couch (would love a new mid grey sofa but budget won't stretch there). This is a pic of the kitchen at the other end of the room if this helps.

Comments (17)Check out your local $2 shop/reject/hot dollar shop/Lincraft/Spotlight stores for big blank canvases (no frames) and vases etc that you can make your own. Create your own abstract art or cover it with a stunning piece of fabric to fill the space on your walls and horizontal surfaces. Do get some table/floor lamps - any room will feel far more homely and cozy with them rather than overhead lights (just remember to use warm bulbs!). If you can get your hands on a sewing machine - if you're creative and love to change your décor as cushion covers, lounge covers, curtains can be super expensive to buy and you can make your own unique ones - or individualize ones that you've bought to give them a designer feel) For ideas on looks, tips and tricks and diy décore craft check out Robeson Design and How To Live Your Style on Youtube....See MoreIdeas on TV unit location?
Comments (23)This is very similar to our floor plan (yet to start building) ... same as you we have our backyard to the north, kitchen to the east, dining table in the middle, lounge to the west. And we had the exact same dilemma where to put the couches. We decided on position 1 but in an L shape with a couch along the west wall and north wall. And we will have two arm chairs or ottomans in your couch position 2. We decided on this because it feels more open and didn’t want the TV to be a main focal point. Don’t necessarily want to see the back of the couch either....See MoreNoise Levels of Outdoor Aircon Units
Comments (17)Thanks annb we just try not to think about it too much, there's the offending neighbours house of brick then a brick fence 1200 and then 1000 to the front bedroom wall and a step back of approx 3 meters to our dining open plan. We have planted a Ficus hedge on the wall and planted Olive trees in front which we keep trimmed, just a funnel. I think with power costs he doesn't use it so much thankfully, As always thank so much for your support and positive input, Forget the Claytons. x...See MoreDividing a kitchen to make a new bathroom in a unit
Comments (22)depends on how often you need the extra bathroom and how much you prepared to spend? (i'd expect a modest redecoration of the old bathroom to cost about $15,000 without changing the location of any fixtures, a new kitchen about $15,000 and the second bathroom needing new complex plumbing, new walls and unexpected extras to cost at least two or three times as much if not more (assuming the BC agrees) and, where will you do your washing?.. contrary to other ideas i would prefer to keep a laundry without the second bathroom but removing part of the wall between kitchen and living area would allow for two options for a new laundry "cupboard" and a more spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area at a fraction of the cost of the second bathroom...(say $40,000 for new kitchen, Euro laundry, floor coverings etc) my concern with the extra bathroom is finding a connection for the new toilet into the sewer which would probably involve digging a trench in the concrete floor to bury the pipe to connect the new toilet to the sewerage under the existing toilet ..my new kitchen and Euro laundry without relocating plumbing but, if you are prepared to completely rebuild the old bathroom and kitchen and rearrange walls this idea adds an extra bathroom in an easier location...See Morepruddiesmum

8 years agoOh what a great space, I love the pendant trio! And is that a double oven?!
Depending on whether you'd want something built in/joinery - I love this idea:

8 years agoLoving your space and flooring. We recently bought a white unit 2400 long. I had planned to have a cabinet built in at a later stage taking up the whole wall but have now decided that I like the option of having space at the ends for decorative pieces eg: the plant and accent chair. Also there is plenty of storage with the existing unit. I went for white to blend in with the walls to make the floor is more of a feature and I could then add colour accents in the room without it all being too much.
