  • We have a spare bedroom. We'd like to make it a nice space, but currently its a dumping ground because as it stands you can't really do anything with it. Which is a shame because it has a nice balcony overlooking the park.

    What would you do / move / remove to make it a useful space as a spare bedroom? For scale, a double bed frame will just go in the spare alcove but obviously would prevent access to the balcony.

  • Removing the fireplace makes the room easier to use I suppose but it’s a decent chunk of work.

    If it were me I’d removed the chimney breast and get someone to build a full wall of storage including a pull down bed and probably a fold out desk. Intervention did a nice job in a similar room in the Barbican

    This is roughly where I am with it at the moment. Do you have a link to the example? (edit, it's this, right?) I trawled Rightmove looking at other houses in the street but they all seemed to be putting up with the existing layout resulting in a nice room looking cluttered and annoying to be in.
