odd living room, discontinued sofas and sinister feng shui

[QueenofWhisperz]

Hi Ladies,

So I'm moving back into my old house, and I'm having anxiety over the sitting room.

It's fairly large for me; at 8.33m x 5.54m. There are soo many problems: out of the 4 walls, one is full of windows, two walls are full of mirrors I cannot get rid of as they are are too big and literally cemented to the walls--and if I removed them I wouldn't know how to cover the weird gaps. The last wall has a staircase, floor to ceiling bookshelf and a radiator. So, literally no place for a tv. The walls that have the mirrors are opposite each other so they reflect into each other causing a feeling of being trapped in a sinister situation.

The last problem is that I have two 4 seater sofas in a putty/moss velvet and it's been discontinued. I had planned on creating two symmetrical sitting areas separated by a round pedestal table ... but I don't know how family friendly that would be. Any tips? Tricks and general ideas?

Could you hang a tapestry over one of the mirrors?

My decorator put a panel over a large "built in" mirror for me. Would that work

Not for the larger mirror, but I can cover the smaller mirror with a tapestry--but isn't that bad luck/sign of mourning?

I'd plaster over the bastards.

Couldn't live with that, maybe talk to a builder and see if they can find a solution? one mirror for light etc. is fine, but many and on opposite walls would drive me mad, also, I wouldn't want to be able to see myself while chatting or relaxing, awful!

Stick trellis over the mirrors in a light colour if you really can’t lose them - will break them up but still keep the light effect.
