This could be a nice reading room if it was trimmed down a bit!

too many things crammed into this rather small room! Trim down the pieces and to me it could be a nice cozy spot for reading!

@CANDLEQUEEN  I love everything but the white walls...too much white. I prefer warmer shades/colors. That is what brings cozy/warmth to a room for me Smiley Happy

@Susan LouiseI agree that warmer toned wall color would be nicer as well....

I would remove the chairs in front of the fireplace and maybe even the floral fabric chair...that would open it up and I would like it a lot more.

Who puts chairs like that in front of a fireplace?  Those would have to go, along with that enormous  coffee table.  And I'm not a fan of the plants on the mantelpiece.

 

Get rid of all that and I could relax in there with a good book.

The cocktail table is too bulky.  The mixture of furniture is off.  Mixing too many different designs and they don't compliment each other.  I say take everything out of the room and start over and then you read.  A nice comfortable chair with ottoman and a light than comes overhead to give light on your book.  The kind of light you can swivel and direct the light.

What a pretty, light-filled library you found, @CANDLEQUEEN .   I like all the sort of "English country house" elements.

Love the room except the chair in front of the fireplace.

 

Apparently, blocking the fireplace is big now.  Have we really arrived here?

Comfy looking but not really my style of furnishings.  Nice size window.

Thanks for sharing.
