hate to tell you he would not care about that either. i know, i know. exe was always "watching the duckies" but this one is really a bit of a prude. eh, i love him maybe more for it, always faithful no matter how much i spy. lol

Your high shelves unfortunately do make the ceiling appear lower than it is. Agree with earlier comments that they are also not functional at that height and too cluttered especially as room otherwise is devoid of accessories. Tone of mat too similar to floor and walls. Needs to be large enough to extend under front legs of couches. The room needs ONE hero ideally not the TV something with your personality. A piece of art or mat are a good choice to do that. Ideally a mat with texture would feel luxe as floor and walls quite cool. Fuscia pink/yellow with navy on a mat/artwork(s) would work really well with your feature wall which is a really nice matt colour. Take tone for cushions from new mat/art. Do one step at a time. Keep editing as you go. Decide then about new TV unit and coffee table. Lamps would soften and warm the room. Suggest long skinny lowline TV cabinet width of one wall. You can pop your lamp and photos on this too which will balance TV being the focus. Such lowline TV cabinets often have oodles of storage underneath so you could rotate a few cushions stored in there and change the feel from time to time. If you add art or mirror, try to match frames with that of TV cabinet or coffee table to minimise palette used and this can harmonise your space. White can work really well considering your couches are quite dark. Enjoy!!

Location is everything, I do love my house though but I often think if it wasn't where it is would I still love it as much and find its flaws quirky..and the answer is no, but it is where it is and it is where I want to be..so love, love, love

Mine has a sink, dishwasher, and pull out wastebins. All good. What I should have done was insist on more cutlery drawers and some pot drawers instead of under bench cupboards. Not a fan of underbench microwaves so didnt ask for one.
