love this ginormous ottoman. I've never seen anything like it.

You're right, A1SB that this room looks cosy altho it could certainly look cold if not decorated the way it is. A huge volume of space with extra tall ceilings like this is often difficult to 'cosy-up'. Some of the things that make it cosy are the warm yellow/gold/tan colors, the lush drapes (altho I wonder why they didn't dress the other window), the area rug, the loose slipcovers, lots of pillows, and of course that massive ottoman. The cottage style furniture and accessories certainly add to the comfy feel.

I love that room too! They probably didn't dress the other window because they found out it was going to cost a bazillion dollars to do it.

The only thing I would change is to get rid of that greenery over the window.

Love the ottoman! It fits the scale of the room and helps take up some other wise empty space.

My favorite thing in the room is the floor. Love that tile. I would seriously reconsider how the windows have been handled. In my opinion that needs to be unified. The ottoman looks super comfy. Like I want to take a nap on it comfy. Love that! Kind of wondering about the two chairs. They seem to be oddly placed and kind of small in scale next to everything else. I think the accessories could be stronger. Just my two cents.

For what they spent on custom window treatments for one window, they could have done simple matchstick blinds on all the windows.

The wood chairs look out of scale for the rest of the furniture. Otherwise, the room is very comfortable looking.

I'm now dreaming of curling up on that sofa with a book and a cup of tea!

OK.....now back to reality...dirty dishes are calling

Oh, I sooo love that space. Fantastic sofa and chair, love it. And the ottoman is awesome.

I agree with others. I don't like the wood chairs though, don't think they fit it.

I have room for an ottoman like that. I have a huge sectional in my living room. The only thing is giving up the coffee table leaves little room for coffee cups. I guess a nice large tray could serve that person.
