This is neither a bedroom nor an office.I'm guessing that room is Minerva's. Could be Alison's but it seems too....professional? Not quite sure the word I'm looking for but it seems to me Alison would have something more sleek and modern, youthful. However, I can definitely see a career woman doing really well for herself like Minerva who prides herself on having that sort of "boss" attitude about her having an office like that. It's 100% not Jeremy's and I don't think it's Ed/Molly because I really doubt we'd have need to even go to their house unless Eva has actually decided to start doing a route with them.
It's missing atleast two important pieces of furniture to be a bedroom: a bed (duh!) and a wardrobe, a woman would also probably have a dressing table in her room.
And what exactly leads you to assume this could be an office? There is nothing professional about it, no desk, no computer, no files instead a rocking chair (!) and a TV? Should Minerva work at this small coffee table sitting on her couch? While watching TV? If she receives clients for a business talk should she take the rocking chair while her clients are cramped on that 2,5 seat couch? Or better use the armchair and both parties bow down to the low coffee table to discuss business papers?
For north-american standards this room is tiny: if you compare the size of the upper right photograph which looks like a common sized 5x7 inch format used for landscapes, you can deduce the size of the TV, which would be a 28 incher then. The width of the room is roughly 3,5 times the TV length which adds up to 98 inch or roughly 2,5 m. The length of the room can be deduced by the size of the couch which is probably not much more than 2 m, because it has only a single seat cushion. You can probably fit another couch into the space towards the central cabinet, add another meter for viewers perspective and you get something like 5 to 6 meters in length. Let's be gracious and we end up with a meager 15 squaremeter room.
This is not a classy, by no means a representative size and noone will be impressed by it. If Minerva can't do better than that as a corporate executive she should really look for another position.
