I was very glad to hear that there are people who like the fabric I have chosen for the sofa. Unfortunately there is a long waiting time 6-8 weeks. I would be more than happy to get some help placing the furniture as well as choosing the soft furnishing. The colour I have fell in love is teal but open for any recommendations. Leelee, thank you for your comments. The cabinet in the corner has been bugging me since we moved to the house. I'm so excited getting finally a new look to my livingroom that I wanted to try something different with my current furniture. the cabinet is no longer in the livingroom and I feel so much better. Regarding the painting, it needs to wait until the new furniture has arrived. I will take a photo and post it later. By the way, we are getting a new king size ensemble tomorrow and would like to get some help to refresh the look. Our old mattress has been a queen size, so need to get a new bedhead as well. I'm going to create a new post of it.

I would expect the room to feel bigger if you were to rotate the bed to sit against the blank wall. This would give you approx. 400mm on the window side and 950mm on the BIR side, 450 at the end of the bed. Depending if it is a rental or not, you could either install a long floating shelf above the bed so it is just above head height when sitting on the bed, or otherwise purchase two 400mm side tables. There would still be room (about 550) next to the side table to access all of the robe.

Can anyone tell me what the actual difference is between a "living" room and a "family" room? Also is a "lounge" room just another name for either one of the above? Thanks

Is that 10metres x 6 metres? What a nice big space to work with. In that case, my idea for spacing them evenly isn't going to look right. Definitely draw an imaginary line where you consider your kitchen & kitchen island space will be, THEN consider the remaining area is where the fans and feature pendant are to go. If it were me, I would have fans with longer than usual blades and a pendant that is rather large and which all complement one another (style-wise). If you draw out your room on graph paper, sketch in where the furniture will be placed, where the fireplace is, and then think about the best locations for the fans and lighting. I would imagine the pendant needs to be in the vicinity of the seating arrangement? Or possibly in the centre of the living area space? Will the pendant be the main source of light in the room or will you also have lamps? I hope this helps.
