I focused too much on the inside of the living room and I thought the window sides would work by themselves.. :-(
I think I’m in a movie... I’m having déjà vu!
We had the same endless discussion about the fireplace and the wardrobe back then. You should plan the windows, you never addressed that.
Yes, I skimmed the beginnings of this thread because this sentence annoys me so much, since we have now been on one topic for a week, namely building you up and accepting things as they are or changing them positively.
Instead of enthusiastically approaching the matter here (I would already have been to Ikea a long time ago and would have bought a big rug or a TV board and presented photos here), you are still licking your wounds and focusing on something completely irrelevant, namely the outside corner.
Since when have you been in the house? Since October? You have only experienced the dark season so far...
I just stick to it that much. But if it doesn’t work otherwise, a nice place will be found in another room.
Honestly, I don’t find that particularly chic or decorative either. How wide is the piano?
I really like the suggestions here and will definitely implement some of them. I see myself that it doesn’t look great currently and that something needs to be done differently.
örgh....
really like...
will definitely...
So, you mean you won’t, right?!
That’s true, that’s why I need help with that too.
Then let yourself be helped
Now practice the second step: accept the suggestions. I still have the feeling you try to find a counterargument for every suggestion. That doesn’t help you move forward. Again, the suggestion to maybe get a professional who supports you.
That’s what I also read from it.
I would always furnish the living room just as a cozy room for the family that maybe guests can also enter. The guest area is preferably the table / kitchen.
That’s also how it is for us: a mega sofa, but guests don’t sit there at all. I once bought two small stools like that, they can be placed anywhere. And a box that can be used as a bench. But none of it is used because they want to be sociable around the dining table. However, you also have to acknowledge how often such a group comes together.
