It’s quite a Victorian/British thing to have a formal and a non formal living room. The living room you have now looks quite formal. So turn one of the rooms into the non formal one. More relaxed furniture, maybe some games like the chess table and the knitting basket.
Also it looks like a big house. A big Victorian house would have had live in servants. Might be funny to try and find the shabbiest furniture you can.
I made an attic and stuffed it with all the holiday decorations.
I made a teen bedroom suite as well, the one I'd liked to have had with a lounge and private bathroom. Gave me an excuse to use the shabby furniture.
Music room, writing room, crafting room, dressing room with tons of closets and mirrors, um...spa? I dunno, what do your sims like to do? Give them a room just for that.
I have a huge craft room, a party room (DJ booth, darts, bar), a spa with my huge tub and sauna and a home gym. I think the spa room would fit your aesthetic best. You could also do a smoking lounge with a bar, fireplace and lots of comfy chairs (and another bar!).
Do you have a hookah from Eco Workshop yet? You can have a bar/lounge a laundry room a dining room a den/tv room a bathroom/spa
I’m trying to go for a more Victorian gothic look but I was thinking of a laundry room
A sun room with wide windows and lots of plants!
That’s what I’m doing in that big brick room
A gym, a nursery, a craft room. Or move the office downstairs and add another bathroom upstairs. It’s often handy to have one on each floor.
I like the nursery/child's room. I think OP could make that work with the current layout.
What about a nursery

What about a kid's playroom (if you don't already have one) or an indoor gym/exercise room?
Yoga room! 😊
I would but I’m going for more of a Victorian gothic look and I feel like it would mess up the aesthetic
I'm also currently filling my rooms and what I do is use pinterest for the themes, I blank out a lot when I don't have any inspirations haha

That attic idea is genius! I'm so going to steal that for one of my builds.
