What’s the view out through the wall of windows? If something you like I’d move sitting area to the space & aim seating towards the view. That will affect the curtains - they’d need to be easy open. Also depends on orientation towards light through the windows - morning or afternoon sun? What’s in the big wardrobe? Can it be moved to current seating area? The diffenbachia plant on table should be on the floor in the new space & a bigger planter. It should be a robust floor plant & it can look larger in bigger pot.

Maybe just a nice round table filled with things that you enjoying looking at and waking up to.

It’s a lovely view, backing into a green space and river

Nice view ( during the day ). KW PNW started suggesting what I would do. It’s very personal , I realize, but I would love a space like that for my plants. I’m a bit of a plantahololic so it might not appeal to you. Easy care plants like Spathiphylum & Sansivieria,. Other than that, how about a nice reading nook? Again, I’m a reader, may not appeal to you. Maybe just leave it empty & enjoy the view, not all spaces need to necessarily be filled.

Move your seating into that area and give the bedroom some breathing room as the seating area in the bedroom looks crowded.

Another vote for moving the seating area to the window. also move the armoire to the wall opposite the bed.

We really need more pictures from every angle. The question is why did you put the seating area where you did at all??? Is there a fireplace? Do you not have need of dressers? The window room has to be the seating area. Do you ever use the seating area as it sits now? There are two doors in that space, one to the outside. The other goes where? Perhaps this room wasn't designed to be a bedroom at all?

For me a no brainer seating area in the space with the windows and view . Where you have it is crowded anyway. You had the columns removed and they were not providing structure ??? Waht is going on with the trim there ??I went back to your other post I think those might have been just decorative but hope wyou had them checked since thta space looks like an addon to me.. That trim needs fixing BTW and the ceiling really does not work with the stuf you have .

Ms Ward has another POST.......same area. On that post, was asked to please show the entirety of the space.......and that didn't happen.

What of this INSPO from before? And we are now looking at the other sitting room?

If you want help? DQo homework, Make a sketch of all the area involved. Measure every wall , window, opening in feet and inches.

Nobody can help, seeing, only pieces and parts of what is essentially duplication of another post and in the same bedroom area. You have to show all of it.

Here, the other post

Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment and ask questions. I appreciate the feedback, even when opinions differ.

To clarify a few points:

• Yes, the columns were removed. They were decorative, not structural, and this was confirmed before removal.
• The trim is bulkier than typical because it wraps what were originally the column returns. Completely eliminating that depth would have required removing and redoing the wallpaper, which is my favourite feature in the room and something I chose to preserve.
• The bedroom itself is very large. It is approximately 17 ft deep, leaving about 10 ft between the foot of the bed and the back wall. That space feels visually empty and underused to me.
• In addition, there is a separate seating area that is roughly 14 ft x 7 ft, which also felt like a lot of unused square footage without some intention behind it.
• The thought to add a small seating area within the bedroom zone was an attempt to make the scale of the room feel more balanced and lived-in.
• There is no fireplace in this room.
• Storage needs are already met; dressers are not required in this space.

Both dressers could be removed.

I know some feel the windowed area should automatically be the primary seating area. In practice, prior to the renovation, I have never once used that seating area in the 10 years we have lived here. It is not where I choose to sit and relax, even though it is part of the room.

Now that the Greek-style columns are gone, the room feels significantly more modern, and I like it much better overall.

Do you think adding a small desk with a chair could work well in that area, or perhaps a round table with a plant to give the space purpose without forcing a traditional seating setup?

Another view of seating area. There’s a door that leads to deck, and a small storage closet.

Do you WANT help?

We are not IN the space!

You draw the space, you measure the space, every wall, mark the HALF walls, the bedroom is npt "approximately, it is actually......!! Same with the sitting area.

The answers and a plan come FROM that drawing. with every dimension for everything noted. Use graph paper! 1/4 inch = 1 foot!

What about a desk and chair. A small office type space for card writing and the like. You look out on the view and relax.

Yes, that could be a nice place to write.

Jan, I will try my best to draw it out. Thanks. I’ll be back with this soon.

Not every space has to be filled. Put up some amazing drapes and call it a day.

I would have removed the pillars AND the pony walls. The pony walls draw attention to this extra space and make it look at bit odd. If the walls weren’t there, it would be easy to flow your seating from the sleeping area into the window-view area. A plushy curved loveseat and a side table or two would look really nice. Or two armchairs with a round lamp and table in between.

Probably would be some expense to address the flooring where the walls are now.

If you don't need it, I'd fill it with plants. Get some big ones or start small, you appear to have a green thumb, so you'll have big plants in a few years. Then, I'd put a chair so you can sit in what might become a jungle in a few years. That's where I'd sit.

Plants.

Thank you everybody for your input. I am happy with the space. Greatly appreciate all the advice.

Looks nice--glad you are happy with it!

That came together nicely. The chaise is perfect.
