I'm moving into a Victorian house with a small double reception room. It has a door to each 'room' and a little bit of dividing wall left which can't be knocked out because it's made of brick apparently.
The front reception room has space for a fireplace, a small bay and the other wall opposite the fireplace is the natural place - the only place - where a sofa can go. As the room is small I want to put the longest sofa possible against that wall. But that means there would be a door behind the sofa (the door wouldn't have to be used as there is another door on the other side of the dividing wall).
What do people think about the look of a sofa against a wall plus a door? I've thought about trying to cover the door and also block the doorway up but wondering if it's a bit unnecessary to get rid of the doorway. - The builder didn't want to do it as he said the door was too nice!
I fear that if I try to remove the architrave and install an invisible door flush with the wall that it will end up looking a bit rubbish and also be an unnecessary expense.
