  • Hi Melissa! A large plant between the two windows would be a nice addition, or a woven basket on the floor with rolled blankets inside (literally warmer!). A blanket ladder where you currently have the lamp and mirrors would also be a fun addition. Good luck!

      Yes great ideas!! A basket would be great (but....my bunnies would think so too!) ;)

      I have to be careful with what goes on the floor because my bunnies love to chew!

      Im thinking of moving the lamp.

      Plus the sewing machine and bins.

    Are you using this room as a craft room? I see plastic bins and a sewing machine. There is storage furniture that will look nice and hide all of that stuff. Putting it away will help. This company has some nice storage pieces and some of them should fit under the windows:

    I would get rid of the lamp and all of the things on the wall. You could try painting the wall to add some warmth. Curtains on the windows and a nice picture between the windows could warm it up too.

      I mentioned the chair and barstools because I thought you could use the maroon color of them for some throw pillows on your sofa. Pillows and a blanket will help to cozy up your home and maybe coordinate curtains, too.

    I think a long skinny dresser, side table buffet or would look great under the tall window. You could use the drawers for storage so your stuff is out of sight. I would also add curtains to both window. Adding a lamp or lamps would also add warmth to the area. If you look at your local craigslist and garage sale sites, there are always people giving away free dressers, tables and what not.

    I’d put a cheat of drawers on a left, with a plant between the window and some cute basket on the right.

    Hello,

    If It were my home, I would use colour on the walls and floor. or Pictures and Rugs could do the same to make it more inviting!
