To me, a modern house is served better with cool antiques, rather than sleek, office-like stuff. In the same way that my own home, which is Victorian, has more modern furniture in it to show off the house's period features like fireplaces, exposed brick walls, fancy plasterwork etc.

Someone serenading you with Imagine by candlelight on the pseudo John Lennon white piano while the whole of Wellingborough looks on because there's no curtains or blinds because they'd "spoil the look" yeah, right!

I have to disagree. That's not a room...a room actually has some function. I'd agree with the poster above who said it's nothing more than a designer's wet dream. So, in this case it's definitely a 'space', as in 'a waste of'."The entire first floor is currently given over to an open plan master bedroom / reception room (with gym and laundry areas). There is a mezzanine floor above the first floor that provides a dressing area and bathroom. "
What the juddering? So the master bedroom is part of the reception room? And you need to go to a different floor to dress or have a bath?
It looks great but it seems like style over substance. And you are living in Mogadishu.

I love that one. The scale is just right. The slightly cold interiors could be improved, though. Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
