A nice welcome is to put a round pedestal table 120cm alone in the centre with a couple of dining chairs either side of the hall table if they fit - otherwise just one that you can bring over to the table when need be. Alternately, or also, you could put a couple of 'x' shaped cowhide stools behind the couch to bring to the table. The table becomes a servery for parties or somewhere for occasional work or games table etc. It is important to keep the table clear with maybe fresh flowers or a plant at all other times as it is your entry. Also, do not add anything - like chairs - to the back wall as it would give a cluttered look. Best wishes.

Some good comments above. My simple suggestion goes like this. Starting at each end, I see they are adjustable, double up the shelves making them stronger, and then you will only have two shelves in each bay. Even them out so yu end up with three equal cubbies. They will look quite cubed, and house foldable fabric baskets which are cheaply available in many colours, try Kmart for packs of 5 for less than 10.00. I would use these end cubes for your practical needs, like onesies, singlets, nappies and creams etc. The central shelves I would display the children's favourite things, on lower shelves, books to access, and some things you want seen as keepsakes, not to play with a they won't reach them easily. The shelves could be configured differently in each space depending on use, but I'd utilize the lower two cubes in one room as desk space, with books above. A cute colourful lamp, and again foldable baskets each side, so that perhaps each child may choose their own side, and have somewhere that's just theirs. In a house ful, it's even more important to have somewhere just for your stuff. These will be great when you make them a little less busy, and providing those inserts will keep them looking tidy, even when they're not. maybe you Could have different colours for each child, to help with the order of things. Good luck with another bub.

Definitely requires wallpaper or paint. I would probably go a textured wallpaper like a bronze /gold weave wall paper. It will give the area deapth and frame the space to make a statement. You have the furniture and space for it. Large art or a mirror. I would possibly keep it rectangular or squarish. A rug would soften and fill the space but would have to be selected carefully to ensure no tripping hazard. Maybe something patterned (replicated through abstract & lines like the legs of your table, with a pop of colour and upgrade the vase of flowers to reflect this colour. Basis of design is replication whether it is colour, shape or pattern.

Hello Allison, I wouldn't rush into anything the room looks harmonious as is. As you have just moved in - live with it for a while and see how you feel . As a feature rather than above the bed [ which is a lovely shape - and nay art is going to look a bit odd] you could inject some colour with a throw / folded rug at the end of the bed. Something with an aged texture like washed velvet would look good. Old gold / mustard would look nice with your cushions if you like them - if not find new cushions you love and work your colours from there. You could also have similar cushion on the window seat. I agree a mirror is good in a room but it is important not to clutter bedrooms. Alternately you could go for a soft wall colour on all walls. Panels could work but are quite a lot of effort - I would try to textile first.- they can always be returned if not suitable. All the best.
