@jlkz    Perhaps a bench or a lounge?  Doesn't look very comfortable.

Somehow that thing ( bed / lounge / resting spot ) just doesn't belong.  Weird.....

I think this decorator was trying to combine traditional touches with contemporary and it's not working well.

Removing part of the walls really opened up the space, but so did the change in wall color.  Light walls make an area look larger and bounce light.

 

Not a fan of the low bench in front of the fireplace.

 

An empty fireplace out of season gives room for a pretty plant or flowers.

Big improvement for sure. The furniture and decor is not what I would have chosen but I think it is OK for the space..... if you don't need a comfortable place to sit.

@jlkz  @Kachina624  I looks to me like a very contemporary chaise that has been badly placed. To me, it might be better along one of the long walls, perhaps under the large picture.

Still looks like an uncomfortable, slick bed to me !  Not a fan of this design layout.

This is popular here, removing portions of the wall like this.

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

 

BIG question:  Is that a bed by cocktail table ?


@jlkz 

Are you referring to the white piece? Guessing it's a chaise, but I'm not liking the style of it or it being placed there.

Big improvement.  Although I don't love all the furniture in the new space, there are some interesting pieces there.

 

That door placement in the before picture is very strange.
