• Manic sleep deprived iphone scrawlings here but whatever . Shitshow of a lounge. Is big space - with big window and ridiculous curtain. Doors to the garden beyond the table. Does not feel good to be in - in the evening particularly. Zero Cosy. This is for many reasons to do with clutter and mess which can be dealt with. But also to do with the layout and lighting. I have been moving the sofas around for 4 yrs.

    Plan is big mirror on left hand wall behind the table. Probably bigger saucer pendant centred on table. Cabinet for all the kids craft stuff back left corner with table lamp on. The dining table is just 2.1x0.9m a slab of melamine ply and some Ikea trestles. We are down to one cesca copy, 2 trip traps and a stool - i m thinking a nicer base for the table and 4 matching chairs will be all we can do money wise and make that zone look better.

    Sofas need to stay in this open position - we tried having them facing (one across the window) - it makes a cosy U shape perp to the table but exposes an ugly rad, limits view of the garden. So to up the Hygge or whatever my plan is a nicer TV stand, danish chair thing and lamp combo as scribbled - to define the open corner of the lounge. then lamp in back right corner. Phillps Hue bulbs maybe.

    Need peer review.

  • Yeah looks like it’s lacking a bit of focus and cohesion.
    More lights to help zone it. +1 for the flos and hue lights. Also why no serif TV? Love the floor and the curtain.

  • Yeah - I lack focus and cohesion ! . OH just say we need to tidy up - which is fair but still I’m convinced there’s more we can do! The tv position is one of the most annoying things to reconcile . When the tiny Sony dies I will lobby hard for serif . Thanks re floor - standard issue battered parquet. Curtain was a decision - didnt ever think i would buy orala Kiley out of choice but it was the happy middle ground between plain and pattered also mid century vibe. Also 2k 😵- let this be a lesson to naive mid century purchasers of open plan and big glass .

  • serif TV

    Never heard of these before, but they look fucking amazing. They also don't look like they will date as badly as other "designed" TVs. A mate had this really cool white thing with a curved bottom back in the day... I can imagine it's aged awfully.

    Although for some reason you don't seem to be able to buy the wireless ones in the UK. Maybe they're only sold to design bloggers.
