bepsf, we just had the wall between our kitchen and living room removed and since it was load bearing we had to install a beam to take the load off, and support, the wall on the above floor. It looks similar to the picture above but our opening is slightly wider.


Before & After: A Terrific Faux Transom Transformation

Like stationeryfiend I would suggest you hang a rail or wire between the bedroom and living areas with some light/sheer fabrics to separate the two areas.

And yes, please do remove the cube at the end of the bed.

I would also suggest painting the walls in something that is not so bland. Maybe some grayish blue because it really makes a place feel more put together.

For storage I would like to see som long, shallow bookshelves stretching the entire length (and height) of the wall behind the bed. Fill it with books, decorative objects. Store ugly things in beutiful containers on the shelves. The shlves would also double as sort of night stand so please remove the chest of drwers next to the bed.

Some nice bedding would look nice. Add some extra pillows after making the bed for some colour.

Change window curtains to something in a richer colour. Maybe same colour scheme as farics attached to rail?

Is the living area big enough to have the sofa and chaise lounge facing each other with a small, slim (but long) table between? In that case place the sofa with its back to the kitchen, then the table and the chaise lounge opposite, that way it won't ruin the view of the patio.
