Actually I'm sitting watching this in my garden room which is quite similar to yours. I have a large plant in the corner beside the door as a link to the garden. I don't have a t.v. as this is my quiet space where I do a lot of reading and enjoy looking at my garden. Your room has turned out beautifully well done. xx
I would place a big green plant i the corner as well. No desk, nor a tv or projector. The room came out so well and love the Ikea hack. However, more books would be suitable for decor :)
We have a projector. It needs to be dark to get a really good image, so if its summer or early evening we have to put blankets over our beige curtains to get rid of the light. I think have a character desk / console where you can set your computer laptop up for a film as needed, or just have some ornaments or lamps on it!
Love the idea of the multifunction long desk!! It’ll give that room such a luxe hotel vibe. And when you have guests it’ll be a great place for them to put their belongings/makeup bags/electronic etc
I can listen to you guys talk all day, I love the accents lol. It’s like ASMR kind of. Plus I am obsessed with watching upcycling and redecorating and crafting and anything home remodel lol thankful to have stumbled across your channel. I absolutely love the color you picked for your walls.
What a great transformation! I think I would buy a credenza for the desk wall which would house a motorized television inside. With a touch of a button it would rise up for watching. Out of sight when not needed.
The book case is a triumph!! And I love the 'Goose feather' colour too. I would make it a tech free zone......and put a Swiss cheese or lemon tree in that corner. But it is beautiful, as usual, you have both done a lovely job. xx🥰,
It looks beautiful!! Really enjoy seeing your house being transformed x I’d keep it as a snug…mount a TV where the picture is, make sure you can pivot it so you can see if from all angles. I would then use the corner to put a beautiful electric corner cast iron stove, they make them now with a very realistic flame 🔥 x that would really make it cosy for watching films or reading and I’m sure your guests would love it too!! xx
Thank you for the time you put into your videos. Making the bed up was a lovely gift. Room looks great. Not sure where you currently watch TV but it looks like the perfect, private TV room, snuggle room. Laying there snuggled up looking at a Christmas tree sounds perfect! You can't go wrong anyway you go.
LOVE this makeover. Nothing in the corner yet. Wait for Christmas tree then a large tall plant. And def center desk under window. Love the shelving. Wow! You two have become masters of DIYs.
Looks great! When you are testing paint samples a good tip is to paint a piece of lining paper with the colour rather than directly onto the wall. You can move the paper round the room to see the colour in different lights, and there's no faff when you come to actually decorate and try to paint over the samples.
Beautiful job on the bookcases! I would put a longer console on that wall that went to the end of the window at least and mount a 'Samsung Frame' TV on the wall above to feature more art in the room but add the feature of a tv for yourself and guests. a smaller chair to use the console as a desk would also be nice. Lovely room!
I know this is a little late but the billy bookcases are much easier to paint in their component parts, before assembly, then you can just touch up any areas after caulking. 😂 I think you’re right about having larger objects on the shelving, looks more curated. I would keep a desk/ console table in there, something wood, possibly vintage or ‘Ollie/Laura made’ and definitely no projector or screen, maybe a smaller tv on the left of the console table
34:24 You can put a projector behind you, behind sofa, and use wall with the window as a screen. Just put a screen as a curtain and add real curtains on top of the screen. You can add a big desk under this as you want
We have a projector and agree with the other comments. It has to be quite dark to get a crystal clear image. However once you have a projector you’ll never go back to a normal tv. Loving the transformation in this space. Very calming and I keeping with your interior style. Love the sofa colour choice and the bookshelves are a great hack. If you don’t want a projector, then look at the Samsung frame tv. It’s a great alternative. Those frames are also a lovely lime washed affect and a great bargain for £8!! If you ever stumble across the link are you able to share it please? We’ve gone for a limewash style in our home and always on the hunt for new frames xx
Lovely work. My suggestion: An office swivel chair is unnecessary in a sitting room. It’s just occasional use not admin central so get an antique wooden chair for interest and charm! Also if your floor is laminate swivel wheels can scratch it up over time.
I love shelving and I don’t think the decor is too small. If you put too much or too large items, the shelving will look busy. I think a TV is or practical especially if it will double as a guest room. Will guest be able to easily operate a projector?
Loving your snug , just made a room also into a snug come plant room and put patio doors in , i must say i havnt sat in living room much since doing ours as i love having the doors open leading into the garden .
Love how your Billy Bookcase turned out and particularly love the addition of the lights, adds a bit of elegance and warmth. Also, love the color of your new sofa.
I love the last part hahhaha. The renovations and Christmas vlogs are my favorites. I’ve never seen a prettier Christmas tree than the one you guys have! Love your videos!!
Single sopha in the corner. Desk under and centre of the window. such a lovely reading ,taking,chilling, staring at the beautiful garden room. Lay down and make plans. When you have babies you guys will love it.
N.I.C.E.!! I'd put a console/iireplace on that wall with a big screen and ditch the desk. That's a great spot for a Christmas tree. It's great for when you bring out folding chairs too when you have company. The shelves came out beautiful!!
When we had a projector and screen, we had the screen attached to the ceiling and only pulled it down when using it. It was also hooked to the TV, so we could watch TV shows on the TV or on the projector screen. I loved it! Love your bookshelf make over! 😀
Gorgeous !!!! We have a very similar set up in our house, our front living room also has the benefit of big bay window and it’s south facing so lovely and bright, we have a tv in that room and our back snug goes onto our garden, we have a projector in there which is amazing for cozy snuggled nights on the sofa- and tucks away nicely so during the day if we have friends round for coffee it’s not dominated by the tv and the focus is on the garden - works fabulously for us !
Beautiful room, and good to see the bookcase hack turn out so well as I've been pondering a similar project. There's no reason you couldn't keep a desk in that other corner, AND have a wall mounted TV above - the kind that looks like a framed picture. Casters on the desk legs would allow it to be wheeled over by the couch so one person can lounge on the chaise and watch something while the other sits and works at something. Or wheel it out of the room entirely at Christmas time so you can put a skinny tree there.
Lovely outcome Laura, the sofa bed is beautiful and what an amazing job with the bookshelves! What surprised me was the candle soot, it’s amazing just how much it stains the walls. Had me looking at my own candles and making a arrrgh sound 😃
Yes to the projector! I think you’d really enjoy it. And not that you need another project…but you could also do a cabinet with one of those auto-lift things to hide the tv but raise it up when you want to use it. I know that’s ambitious, but I’m sure you two could pull it off!
looks so lovely! I would move the tv from the other room in to this and have it as a tv room and the other living room more like a sitting room. and if anything have a projector hidden to pull out in your main living room if needed. :)
Oh this snug looks so lovely. The bookcases are a great hack and was worth the hard work painting them. Definitely a Christmas tree 🎄 in the corner whilst you decide on tv/ projector. Have a lovely week.
It looks really lovely (as always). Really love the sofa. My vote personally is no tv and no projector. I'd keep it as a 'quiet' room. Christmas tree this year and then a large plant or something decorative would look nice. I dont think it has to be 'practical', it can just be something to make it cosier.
Gosh SUCH a cute room, wow! I'd say go with a combination desk/console or side table along that wall. Find one with storage, plus you can put your TV on it, and use as a desk too. (and invest in a good lint roller for your sofa!) Well done!
Great make over, looks cozy and calming. Definitely go for the projector, had mine just over a year and the tv is now redundant. You can enlarge picture for films and shrink to watch tv, best of both worlds and not as ugly as a tv 📺
I love it! I would suggest you opt for a longer curtain rail so that when your curtains are opened, they cover the walls and not obstruct the doorway as well as light coming in through the door and window
Although I’m originally from England I forget about the little details like radiators taking up wall space. Here in western Canada we have forced air heating systems that only require I small grate in the floor. They’re lovely and take up almost no space. The kitchen, bathrooms and basement all have radiant floor heating which is wonderful. Love what you did with the bookcase. I might do that with my existing Billy bookcase. It’s a great idea. The sofa is beautiful. The whole room looks comfortable. Well done. Oh, I’d do the TV.
Oh this is just lovely! It turned out so well! I don't think it's having a desk there that doesn't feel right, it's the desk itself that isn't right for the area. I think a wooden (vintage) desk centered under the window would warm up the area and tie in with the wood details you've got going in the shelves. Also I think having a vintage furniture piece, especially wood, just gives so much soul and depth to a space...and with that green, it would just be the 😘👌🏼 Also if covid taught us anything it'ss that it never hurts to have an extra space for work 🙈 really loved the outcome 👏🏽🤎
Bookcase looks amazing. You both worked so hard but great result. Wish I could work out the lights. I bought some a while back but they baffled me and I had no choice but to throw them out. I thought it would be easy. It looked as if it should be!
I know they’re a bit pricey, but I feel like a frame TV would be perfect for the room while providing enough flexibility so that you can still use this room in a number of ways. It’s a lot more seamless than a regular TV and less fussy than pulling out a projector every time you want to watch Netflix. Just remember to put in a really high quality door stopper to prevent the door from coming into contact with the TV. Love all your home content so much!
I was just going to say the same thing. I’ve also seen a few people make a dupe for the Samsung framed tv by just using a really nice frame on a mounted tv!
Yes projector!!! We did that too as we've got some nice antiques ..a TV would spoil the room!!! We've got the Epson but we actually use the Anker mars nebula more often!!! .. they're super easy to use then they're gone when not needed 😊😊..( we use a Chromecast so we stream off the phones.. we watch you every week 3 metres x 2.5 metres!!) 😌😌
We have two of the Samsung frames, one in the living room and one in the bedroom and we love them so much. They are so simple and elegant looking when in portrait mode. Very much worth the extra money in our eyes. I think a smaller one where the photo frame currently is would look perfect! X
Very pretty. A few more books would be nice, I think for when you're in there or for guests. A small tv in the corner on the wall that can pull out and swivel so it can viewed from the sofa but not take much space. I like the idea of a desk under the window that can be used for multiple purposes and a place for guests to put their things since there's no closet or other storage. I think the idea of having closed storage at the bottom of the shelves would solve some storage issues too and look pretty.
What a gorgeous hack! A small dresser would be very practical - you can put your tv on top and guests have a place to store their clothes if they stay longer 👍
The desk would look perfect right under the window with curtain panels on each side, same as the ones on the door. You would have room for a slim Christmas tree in the corner! Your room looks gorgeous and the hack for the Billy bookcases makes them look amazing!
I think a TV would be better for a guest space but if you don’t have many visitors, maybe the projector would work. I love the bookshelves! The sofa is lovely. The green is so rich.
That couch is made for movie nights and binge watching tv shows! I would definitely want a tv in the room but that’s just how I know i would use the space.
Do try making it the formal dining area once, it will look beautiful with the garden view. The room turned out amazing and the sofa's colour is so beautiful.
delighted to be stealing this bookcase idea for a home library project! thanks so much - added bonus to see you're from (at least near) Taunton where I grew up. Best of luck
A projector is so tempting so if you have guests you can have a fun movie night. But then a TV would be better day to day. I would get a low long tv stand with some cupboards in and have that run right unter the window, you can have the tv on one side and a nice big lamp on the other. Maybe get a projecter later down the line so you can still have those movie nights. I would also wait until after Christmas so right now you have the space for a tree next to that green sofaaa (so Christmasy) and you'll feel more of what you're missing in that room rather than rushing
Hi, nice bookcase! What program did you use in the beginning to design room and show in 3D? I've been looking for an easy software to use. Thanks in advance!
Brilliant Billy Bookcase hack so clever. Although strange positioning of your radiator!!! Personally I would have placed a long tall rad on the outside wall next to the patio doors. Love your idea of a longer desk with a smallish TV. Keeping the idea for a projector and screen for outside?? summer viewings?? Bon Chance ,.
Hey you two! Sorry so late, just stumbled on it. . . Great detailed video! Doing a similar project and wondering about the LED lights. I think you used the Govee brand? I loveeee the cool white option on them and wondering if you were using just the RGB strips or the RGBW (with the white chip)? And if possible would you have any links to what you used? I just can't seem to find the perfect strips? Thx! Cheers! Mark
So lovely how it turned out- a Christmas tree would be great in that corner and it might be fun to film you two decorating it and adding holiday decor throughout your home. Reading some of the comments I agree with centering the desk under the window, adding a nice wooden chair, saving the corner for a large plant/ Christmas tree and if you add a Tv where your painting is to try a DYI picture frame. Love how the bookcases look- very much a classy upgrade.
I like the idea of the desk more under the window as the wall to the right of the desk is very blank besides the one (very gorgeous) picture, and a tv between the window and the corner to the left of the window.
Actually I'm sitting watching this in my garden room which is quite similar to yours. I have a large plant in the corner beside the door as a link to the garden.

That's really useful to know, the room gets a lot of light and we are lazy when we want to watch something 😁 Thank you!
Also, awesome work and the room is dressed so beautifully.
Get blackout curtain liners?
Love the idea of the multifunction long desk!! It’ll give that room such a luxe hotel vibe. And when you have guests it’ll be a great place for them to put their belongings/makeup bags/electronic etc

I would definitely have a tv in the corner it would be used a lot. Love the built in unit and the colours you’ve used.

Nice colour. Such a beautiful room. I am so happy you are using it. The best room in your house. Your gonna live in it all the time.
Such a gorgeous green on the sofa. It looks like a perfect cozy room.
We have a projector and agree with the other comments. It has to be quite dark to get a crystal clear image. However once you have a projector you’ll never go back to a normal tv.

The projector Idea is the best.
Christmas Tree!!!! 🎄 Then, decide on the rest (I would have a TV.....projectors are great but a bit cumbersome, IMO) Looks beautiful!
So cozy! That corner is the perfect spot for a christmas tree! I love your holiday decorations. It always gets me in the spirit. :)
I love the last part hahhaha. The renovations and Christmas vlogs are my favorites. I’ve never seen a prettier Christmas tree than the one you guys have! Love your videos!!
As always, your room turned out lovely. The built ins are great and the couch is so striking. What a lovely serene room.
Single sopha in the corner. Desk under and centre of the window. such a lovely reading ,taking,chilling, staring at the beautiful garden room. Lay down and make plans. When you have babies you guys will love it.
Beautiful make over! Love your style. That sofa color is just georgous!! Love that you picked a color.

I would actually say no TV, no projector in the snug.
But yes to the Christmas tree!!
Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing this information on how to DIY this.
The room looks incredible! You have such excellent taste and I just love the styling you have done. Looks so cosy too. Have a lovely weekend xxx
Great job as usual tv rather than projecter , I really love the sea so rich looking
Yes to the projector! I think you’d really enjoy it. And not that you need another project…but you could also do a cabinet with one of those auto-lift things to hide the tv but raise it up when you want to use it. I know that’s ambitious, but I’m sure you two could pull it off!
I’d watch videos of you putting a puzzle together you’re so therapeutic to watch!! 🤣 love your content so much! 🥰

Love the snug! Console w/TV, chair in that corner is what I would do.
You guys did an amazing job. It all looks great! You should be very proud of yourselves.
I would do the frame TV! I loved your IKEA Billy bookcase hack!
There's nothing like having Glass Animals playing while doing projects! :D Very nice work. You guys just got a new subscriber.
Miiiight be time to invest in a paint sprayer 🤣❤️❤️❤️ looks awesome!! You're so patient 👌
Stunning finish!!! That sofa looks divine! Ahhh love it
Gosh SUCH a cute room, wow! I'd say go with a combination desk/console or side table along that wall. Find one with storage, plus you can put your TV on it, and use as a desk too. (and invest in a good lint roller for your sofa!) Well done!
Great make over, looks cozy and calming. Definitely go for the projector, had mine just over a year and the tv is now redundant. You can enlarge picture for films and shrink to watch tv, best of both worlds and not as ugly as a tv 📺
I love ❤️ that couch/sofa bed and the ikea bookcases look amazing great idea
It’s crazy how you’ve done to the house from when you moved in. It looks soo good 💗💗💗
I love it! I would suggest you opt for a longer curtain rail so that when your curtains are opened, they cover the walls and not obstruct the doorway as well as light coming in through the door and window
Although I’m originally from England I forget about the little details like radiators taking up wall space. Here in western Canada we have forced air heating systems that only require I small grate in the floor. They’re lovely and take up almost no space.

It looks great! Be sure to protect your sofa from the sun when you are not in the room so it will not fade.
Do the projector!! We got one early pandemic and it was such a great escape! Love to cuddle up and watch movies on the big screen!
Beautiful room. Bookcase looks amazing Put the desk under the window for now and then a bigger console when your ready with tv.
Lovely room well done Great job on the Shelving They look good love to Sofa👍🏼

I agree but I don't think they can because of the side the chaise is on
You did a great job. It looks beautiful. I love it.👏👏👏❤🤗
You paint exactly like I do, cutting in first. All the prep is worth it.
Tv- room is beautiful as always❤️
2 more frames ( 8 in total) would make the room perfect 🥰 A tv is more practical and would get more use. Lovely as always 💕
Loved this. It was relaxing to watch and listen to. 👍🏼
delighted to be stealing this bookcase idea for a home library project! thanks so much - added bonus to see you're from (at least near) Taunton where I grew up. Best of luck
What a gorgeous makeover. You could put a console table with a frame TV above that displays artwork when not in use.
A projector is so tempting so if you have guests you can have a fun movie night. But then a TV would be better day to day. I would get a low long tv stand with some cupboards in and have that run right unter the window, you can have the tv on one side and a nice big lamp on the other.

I would move the console table over a little bit more and yes I would put A TV in there because it's so nice to look at the garden
Just discovered your reno videos recently and love them! Wanted to know what software you used to perfect your room design layout?
You guys did such a good job. It’s beautiful.
We were so excited to see her go 🤣🤣
I really love this!! Nice job. The billy bookcase looks amazing!
The bookcase of dreams 😍
You make painting look so easy!
Hi, nice bookcase! What program did you use in the beginning to design room and show in 3D? I've been looking for an easy software to use. Thanks in advance!
What software did you use to plan your room?
I would put there two armchairs 😊 and go with the projector.
This room looks so cozy and warm 🥰 well done!
Brilliant Billy Bookcase hack so clever. Although strange positioning of your radiator!!! Personally I would have placed a long tall rad on the outside wall next to the patio doors. Love your idea of a longer desk with a smallish TV. Keeping the idea for a projector and screen for outside?? summer viewings?? Bon Chance ,.
Loveeeeee how it turned out!!! Go for the tv 100% ❤️❤️
Beautiful room Laura. I will go for the small tv.
Hey you two! Sorry so late, just stumbled on it. . . Great detailed video! Doing a similar project and wondering about the LED lights. I think you used the Govee brand? I loveeee the cool white option on them and wondering if you were using just the RGB strips or the RGBW (with the white chip)? And if possible would you have any links to what you used? I just can't seem to find the perfect strips? Thx! Cheers! Mark
So lovely how it turned out- a Christmas tree would be great in that corner and it might be fun to film you two decorating it and adding holiday decor throughout your home. Reading some of the comments I agree with centering the desk under the window, adding a nice wooden chair, saving the corner for a large plant/ Christmas tree and if you add a Tv where your painting is to try a DYI picture frame. Love how the bookcases look- very much a classy upgrade.
I like the idea of the desk more under the window as the wall to the right of the desk is very blank besides the one (very gorgeous) picture, and a tv between the window and the corner to the left of the window.
