I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Ces derniers sont meilleure en finition et juste la couleur qui me reste a chosir. c'est du parquet imitation bois made in spain.

Hello Catherine, It seems like a different solution is somewhat blocked by 1) the size/shape of the room, 2) the door and window positions as well as 3) the type and size of the furniture... (sorry I know this is obvious). Something has to give... Could you give the exact room size and confirmation of doors or passages? (door to the right? arched passage to the left of the piano?) Is the furniture that you have included actual or new? What are their footprints? How is the bay window done? full height floor to ceiling? starts at bench height? How is the window exposed? East, West, North or South? How high is the fireplace and is it's angled wall also full height? Most upright pianos are around 1m30 (or à little more than 4 feet). Putting a TV above it can be an option, but perhaps a little uncomfortable, not to add that visually it will be an odd addition unless you take the "fake painting" version (ex Samsung "The Frame"). thanks in advance, Lynn

Hello, I vote for full height curtains. Check out references from Studio McGee for some gorgeous ideas. If you keep them white and with long enough rods to allow them to fall in front of the wall instead of covering the glazing, there will be no change in available sunlight. good luck, Lynn
