Hi Joanne, A seating nook is always a lovely addition to a home. The standard depth can range any where between 430mm - 610mm deep. However, it always depends on the area in which it is being placed, sometimes they can be smaller or larger. Personally I see nothing wrong with a wide seating nook, it allows for a much more comfortable lounging area. By adding larger cushions against the wall it will take up some of that excess space. Layering cushions can also fill the space quite well. Below is an example of a rather wide window seat that looks very inviting. The link below, which includes the image attached, displays some more window seats with beautiful cushion arrangements. http://www.re-polished.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/style-inspiration-nightingale-design.html

Hi Jodi , Personal artwork would look gorgeous, or large pieces , a book shelf could look great but it could get a little messy , it’s really about the look you are after. An uncluttered hallway seems to look great at anytime and makes I easier to manoeuvre specially as you said you have a wheelchair user.

Further questions, I've some questions that I'd like to seek opinions from all. Blue shaded = Windows/Glass sliding door Red shaded = Wall Currently, my wife and myself are thinking if we should have walls that are all windows and glass sliding doors as per this image below. Obviously the con is that we can't have any furniture or tv cabinet there but that after researching Pinterest, it seems that all beautiful homes these days have these "glass-enclose" feel. Not sure if it's practical but it definitely looks nice. Another option that we're thinking is to have piece of wall that we can place the tv cabinet (if we want to) or any other furniture/shelves in the future What are the pros/cons? I'm thinking of having the wall there because at least it's "future proof" if we don't want to have a TV there, it can be functional and we can have shelves etc. If we want to have a TV cabinet we can. But my wife thinks having everything enclosed in glass/window/sliding door are nicer and the living area shouldn't need to have a TV since we already have a leisure TV area at the upstairs. Thanks, Venn.

Can you provide a plan with width and depth. Doorway and window locations too/
