Home Decorating Design Dilemma

oddly shaped small room

6 years ago

We have just purchased a new home and although I LOVE this room, I'm having a difficult time figuring out the best way to decorate/furnish it. The furniture in the picture is the current owner's and won't be staying (Thank God). I was thinking about putting a built in desk under the window, but that's as far as I've gotten. The room is sandwiched between the back deck and the kitchen...what would you do?

Not a pro. Cute room with nice windows! I would replace the easel with a rocking chair or two, maybe with a small table in between. That way, you could sit and have coffee, tea, or cocktails while enjoying the view.

Great space! I think it would be a great space for a desk. Do you need a place for muddy shoes, etc.?

I also like the idea of a small seating area with a couple chairs and small table. another thought is to build out a bar area there that could be easily accessible to the patio area. could be small and still maybe have a chair with small table.
