I really like the looks of this space after partially removing the wall. It really opens the space, but still keeps the area separated. Love the floor! I like the mirror & the dark table/cabinet on the right, but not loving the rest of the furnishings.

Yes, huge difference. 

 

Lightening the walls makes it look larger, too.

Yes, a big difference for sure! Do not care for the furnishings at all, looks too blah...

@wilma Don't like any of the decor but the basic room itself is a huge improvement.

This is gorgeous. The new configuration allows light, sight and air to flow between the rooms without them becoming one, big, awkward space. I feel the furniture arrangement, artwork, and proportions are all in perfect harmony. And I personally relish the light/dark contrast. I wouldn't touch a thing.

I love the flow after the wall removal. Beautiful room.

While  the room does look better opened up, the rest of it, furnishings and decor are not appealing and take away from the room in my opinion.  Aside from opening the room up, it needs a make over in other ways.

On the face of it and despite the bland decor, opening up is an improvement, based on what we can see. That said, there are often advantages to doors that can actually be opened and closed.

Mirrors should not be used as decor unless they reflect something interesting or beautiful.  A reflection of the ceiling and light fixture is neither. Even the mirror irself is of no interest.

Agree totally with @Kachina624 ....the mirror as placed is wasted.  I wouldn't want to look at the fixture.
