What should I do with this room?
Comments (9)On the downside this room will always be the main thoroughfare, and the upside is that it has the opportunity to introduce and ipress people entering your home. Being a room they enter as opposed to a boxy hallway, it gives people the feeling of lint and space, I would add to that some comfort, in the form of luxury. Being a room that is walked through and not 'to', I would utilize it as an escape, somewhere to head when you want to have time away from living zones, often shared and loud. Treat this as a retreat. Your beUtifuk box bay window seat inspires me to suggest a library. You can build or buy a beautiful floor to ceiling bookshelf that I would position adjoining the entrance to create a partition or corridor, so it blocks the room initially and slowly reveals it's cosyness. The bookcas could be double sided so it allows light to flow through and display items in peek a boo fashion. Remove the soa in the front walkway as it is a visual blocker, and place it under the window. Normally I wouldn't do that, but in your case, a rug in front and under that sofa, the ottoman in front of the window seat, and a tray table in front of the sofa. The new 'hallway' would direct people through the home to those living zones, quickly and neatly. Make that wall a gallery wall, with your collection of images or family in a beautiful eclectic collection of frames. Leave some empty or frame objects you love as much S photos. Books, cushions, throws and fabric exude comfort and luxury if chosen to do so. A beautiful side table and lamp next to the sofa ( i spy a power point) so the room will feel warm with a throw over the arm, a book in hand and somewhere to place your coffee. A beautiful space, make use of it as your own sanctuary....See MoreWarm or Cool? What should I do in a country guest bedroom?

Comments (45)We agree, a rug could help define and delineate the different spaces! It looks like you may need some specific and quite large sizes - look for rugs that can be ordered in custom sizes to take the stress out of trying to make stock rugs fit! You have an absolutely amazing artwork on the wall there - perhaps use these blues and golden tones as inspiration? Blues would looks great with the wooden cupboards and accents.

Comments (10)What other hobbies or interests do you have? If you had a lounge space where you could kick back and use your ipad there it might be a nice option. Do you like art and/or plants? A space to cleanse and break away from screen time would be a really lovely and healthy option for you.
