We downsized recently into a small cottage which has an unusual layout. The living room is in the middle of the cottage and has no windows (this was done by the previous owners who reconfigured a bedroom to a living room and didn't use this middle room, we can't do this as we need both bedrooms) It does have a glass door which lets a small amount of light from the conservatory which it leads into.
As its so dark i want to brighten it up but there are so many faults with the room i don't know where to begin.
We are on a tight budget as the whole cottage needs redecorating as its so old fashioned. The wood is mahogany & there is lots of it. The floor is carpeted but its a very dark blue with a little light blue swirl (awful) and the walls are blue with a cream accent wall, the curtains where included in the sale and they are navy silk!!
We can't afford to change our sofa which is black leather and our tv units/bookshelves are beech so if you can imagine that all put together it looks like a collection from several different past lives all huddled together.
Where do i start?? I literally have no idea with this one. Id like to make the living room & conservatory feel like one room if possible even thought they are so different.
