Yes, but are you using the gap where rangehood was to centre, or the centre of the cook top. If you have cabinetry along the wall then you can hide the fact that the extractor fan/rangehood is not centre of the cook top. Or that is how it appears in your photos.

Thank you sooooo much Kate & dreamer for your comments and sketch - can't thank you enough!! Kate - you are spot on! the previous owners had this room styled for relaxation/garden view, however for our family of 4 - the function is the key thing. Dreamer - your sketch is super helpful! exactly where I put the TV - and feels the most 'normal'. I might change the furniture to your suggestion. The 2 seater cream couch fits where the chair is, without blocking the bedroom access. Do you think better? Unfortunately the french doors open inward, and recessed sill's won't allow the change :-( Here are some photos...I am wanting to replace all the furniture/this is all from the Op shop Iv had for years. I can clear the clutter...but would love to still keep some books/musical instruments in there - maybe all in a different unit (tall) with the TV/books included? A friend suggested a big tall corner cabinet with the TV inside, on that corner wall directly opposite to dreamers sketch..which I thought about, but unsure on also I am so appreciate of advice - and would love to hear more of your thoughts, any furniture tips welcome too :-) Thank you!!

Hi Denise, They are stunning, closest I could find are these from max sparrow , they have a metal wrap around but I am sure they could be made without, but quite expensive but gorgeous.

Oh! Thank you so much. You have no idea how good that makes me feel.😁A Houzz helper suggested this rug on the feral terracotta coloured tiles. I am so scared of colour but I love this rug & am forever in her debt. I thought my husband was going to have a heart attack when I returned from Bowral (we’re in Old Bar-Taree) with that colourful glass bowl on the glass table. At 67 I have finally accepted colour! Lol. Lose the fish tank unless you need it to de-stress, but put it in another room maybe. Any fish we had, died!! Ooh, you have power points too! 😁x Lorraine
