Love to see personal styling rather than matchy matchy show home look! I love the cane chairs but you don't want it to look crowded. Though you could put one to the left of the room facing the other way so it's more conversational rather than everyone facing the TV and with their backs to rest of the house. I love that Freedom lounge it'll look great. I'd probably add a rug in a warmer texture even a plain or patterned sisal to soften the dark shiny floor (the dark colour makes your room look smaller and is a bit stark against your nice warm timber) and anchor the furniture together, Freedom and West Elm also have great options.

Thank you everyone, lots of shopping, many shops seen. I have pulled this look together. I am not sure about the heavy textured throw. Just walked in with it, thinking a white pot with a plant in the corner by the window. I wanted to find the beige colour in the blue cushion, a much darker colour than the plain one l found to the left of it. Take care everyone. Sue

Rachael, you’re very welcome! It was fun to draw up. As far as layering photos, I wasn’t suggesting you cover one photo with another, (what is the point of having beautiful photos and memories then! Lol) rather, overlap the edges of the frames (both are quite wide from your photos) so that they are connected without obscuring the images within. Hope that makes sense! What a difference just painting that back wall makes! It really opens up the room now. I think the few bricks around your fireplace now is a very charming feature. It keeps the charm of the original while bringing the rest of the room into a fresh new era! Well done! I would suggest running a long extension chord for your tv for now while you try out a new layout for the space if there are no powerpoints on the far wall, just to be sure you like the arrangement. Can’t wait to see updated images of your new space!

Thanks Kate This is what room looks like now, posting a pic of what we were planning to have in the WIR ( table in WIR is like a make up table with Hollywood mirror ) My daughter seems to be more keen in having a large WIR rather than the study nook . So I’ll think I’ll leave as its (with large WIR) and at a study desk somewhere in the room. Think there’s room for that . Thank u ☺️
