What would you do with these bloody plugs?

[Lifeisconfusing]

So I have the french style console tables so I can’t have a modern shelf or anything,and if I put a tv cabinet there it will be too much. What’s your thoughts?

@BasiliskStare did you say you had a mirror unit

the dressing tables are what is throwing it off. get a long/low console for under TV and repurpose (or sell) the dressing tables.

@PhilCornwall1 do you have a pic

@MerryDeath Iv ordered this

@lifeisconfusing - no - sorry not me - I was more the ottoman suggestion - all best to you

@ BasiliskStare you too

That looks a bit big for the space. You should make a paper template and put it down to see how close to the sofa it will be.

@hopeishere it’s a really large room you can tell on the picture

That will look good, I think! I think it is lovely.

Who cares if it is a bit boudoir? It’s your home.

It might be big but a massive piece of furniture could overwhelm it. Also you will be able to see your reflection from the sofa all the time. I'd hate that!!

@hopeishere get your points I will just have to see what it looks like when it comes

Two mirrors facing couch ? So you can stare at yourself staring at the tv. What the f?

I once lived in a flat that had to have some significant changes to the layout (don't know how it had got to the stage of me having lived there for 6 months before anyone realised it didn't comply with fire safety regs but there we go). They covered up where a door had been next to the TV with a door sized mirror. Took a lot of getting used to being able to see yourself constantly while watching TV!

Your living room looks a similar size and shape to mine OP, although I won't be posting pictures of mine for comparison mines more nursery-that's-been-burgled chic.

@Spam88 ha ha ha. I can’t see myself in the mirrors. As they are at far ends Of the room

Ah @ Lifeinconfusing - just do what you think best. That has always been my MO. Looking at your house am sure it will be fabulous. But I think you know that. A tweak here or there with tables / chairs etc won't probably alter the essential feel of it so - if the plug sockets bother you - you have a plan to fix that. I hope it goes well & good luck. My DS is now 23 and I still can't keep my house as tidy as yours

Sorry - typing too quickly that last post was to @Lifeisconfusing

OP you’ve taken all the feedback very well - I hope you’ll provide some pics of how you end up styling the room.

Wow, OP, there's some been some harsh comments. I think you've taken them really well and it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. I actually like the console tables (prefer them to the mirrored unit actually), it's just their placement.

@PegasusReturns I definitely will.
@KurtansCurtains Iv ordered the mirrored unit now so I’m hoping it will look good. I knew I wasn’t happy with the room so I’m glad I got everyone’s opinion. When I was younger I would have been devastated by any negativity but as a 35 year old I’m cool with it, I mean some of the suggestions are laughable and not my taste either but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Thanks so much for your input

@FamilyOfAliens no it’s a brand new house (new build) that we have bought.

I Didn’t think about the plug situation when I got it wallpapered. We live and learn eh

Ha ha @ Lifeisconfusing - " I Didn’t think about the plug situation when I got it wallpapered." We live and learn eh? I am on 3rd renovated house & if I were - in the very very unlikely event - to do another - still things to learn - but by and large a few plug sockets you can hide isn't the worst thing. Better too many than too few - imagine trying to hide 3 extension cables with a pretty mirrored cabinet Ah it looks like you will absolutely fine - all best - Basilisk

Hope you like your cabinet when it comes OP. With chair on one side, I'd probably look for a nice free standing lamp at the other side or a really big fern plant or something. And leave that bay window free for your Christmas tree 😀.

@WhatWouldTheDoctorDo love that advice

Some of the suggestions are laughable. Really? 🤪
From the one who decorated her living room to look like my local hairdressers?! If you say so...

@Thisismytimetoshine
Show me yours bet yours is amazing!!!

And your grace and good humour puts mean spirited bitchploppers to shame

Amen to that! God there have been some twats on this thread! Enjoy your home, OP!
