Comments (12)Honestly, £1,000 isn't that bad for the laborious and hideous work they have to do, but get a couple of quotes. I wouldn't do the stairs - sandblasting is too strong for them anyway and I think you can still see the nice wood grain in them. Perhaps you can put a runner up them. Do the ceiling beams, the lintel over the fireplace and all the dark beams imbedded in the wall. I can't really see the church seat, the seat in the fireplace or the doors, but the door in the Somerset Cottage photo with the carpet you like looks good, doesn't it? Show me more photos of the church seat and the seat in the fireplace, but you could paint the church seat the same colour as the walls, or the same as the trim in eggshell or a slightly darker shade of the wall paint..... That would lighten it up. I still don't know what your style is! Do any of these appeal? We can find the actual products once you give an indication of what you like! (I've tried to choose some that have similar elements to what you have to work with). https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/17th-century-thatched-cottage-country-dining-room-hampshire-phvw-vp~16268858...See MoreValentine's Bathroom Turn-offs!

Comments (41)Hello @The Picture House. Thank you! Just to touch on your point, I don't agree at all really. I think most people want to envision the property with themselves living in it, how they want to see the home. When I talked about what I look for, it was from a personal viewpoint. I don't need to see anything added to see if the place is worth something. (Not financial) I'm talking structural and aesthetics. The "bones" of the place, if you like. Also potential has nothing to do with clean, tidy, or adding a few objects, just reading your pointers. Potential isn't styling, it has to do with architectural details and the capacity for renovation or restructuring. If that is what is sought. For that you need an eye for these details and there are a lot of people who are very clued up and interested in this area. Talking from experience that is. I think the problem with selling, is knowing your market and who you're selling to. Knowing your property and how to market it (at the time) to its fullest potential. Marketing your property for who you want to sell it to. So whoever it is can see what they can add- if at all! However, what a client is looking for from their purchase will largely dictate the type of property they seek. Interestingly some "interior designed" property renovated for sale are some of the worst examples of boring,bland and unimaginative. I would argue the use of the term "Interior designed" It comes down to style and taste which is diverse and individual. Displaying the architectural elements to their fullest. In short, it takes.. Charisma! AJ...See MoreWhat are your biggest design headaches?
Comments (14)I've thought of a couple more.. how to hang art ie if you have art on different walls, how high over furniture, size of art over furniture etc (same for mirrors over fires) How to zone a space or open plan living area What size and how to place rugs section on general lighting including kitchen lighting how to create a focal point in a room (especially if you don't have a fire for example) or highlight architectural features etc how to disguise a tv tips on how to create a room on a budget might be a good one how to create a house that flows I think what would be useful in the general how to create a room is how to add texture, add cosiness, mix old and new, add personality, mix heights etc with just an overview of design rules (and breaking them!) as these are hard to find other than colour rules for the non-pros!...See Moremayfly182
