Lots of ideas....couldn't resist adding my two cents. i copied your photos and did a little cut and paste- it's messy, but hopefully gets the main idea across. i'd put your sofa in front of the large book case, chair by the fireplace, tv on the stand on the wall opposite the fireplace - so you can either look at the fire or the tv. Someone suggested using frames of one color for your photos - an inexpensive way to do that would be to spray paint them all a dark color-black goes with everything. Since your shelves are a medium tone wood, display things that are dark or light so that they contrast against the wood. Limiting your display items pallette to a few values usually helps to unify things. (I think that's why so many people want to paint the shelves or put inserts in the back to help your nice things read more clearly...some get lost). If you want to "splurge" -you may consider having a carpenter make a few solid tall cabinet doors to provide a visual break in the shelving. I'm showing 3 doors - 1 on the right side of the fireplace and 2 on the left to leave two open vertical shelves for display on each side - with things arranged to frame the fireplace as the focal point. To add some height to your big vases, consider stacking some books beneath them. Enjoy experimenting untill you get something you're happy with - good luck!

Every year we present the Best of Houzz winners for Design, Customer Service and Design Photography. The prestigious award highlights the top-rated home improvement professionals and the most popular home designs. To see this year's Irish design winners, have a look here. As you know, we love polls here at Houzz and we thought it'd be fun to do a 'best of the best' of the poll. We've selected a few images from companies who've won the Design award, and now we want you to vote for your favourite. All of these images have been saved to hundreds and thousands of Houzzers' ideabooks worldwide - very impressive! So while we celebrate their design, we also want to know - which design rocks your boat?

Thanks, Nathalie I hope you can make it, it's going to be a lot of fun
