Help with 5 year olds room -paint, wallpaper, overall design and theme
Comments (26)Hi. I hope you don't mind me saying but the stage area may be outgrown quite quickly unless you put in a big stage but I'm not sure there's the room. If you do go for a stage, I'd put it in the top left corner as you come through the door with the bed in the right corner with the pink style canopy (which should just fit?). Personally I love the canopy pictured against the wall (you can also tuck drapes out of harms way) and it will grow with your daughter. Your daughter certainly knows her own mind btw! The striped wallpaper would be good on that back bed wall with a canopy. You could mix striped wallpaper with patterned on the other walls if she wants that ie the stars? I would probably try and keep it a little simple though with the feature wall and duck egg on others if you want the room to last. I love the pink and green lights in your pic, maybe someing similar with pink and duck egg? . Maybe try some decals in the dressing table area or go for the star wallpaper?...See MorePlease I need your help! My front room looks dull, and the wall paper
Comments (4)Hi. The room appears quite dark atm so I'd go for a warm neutral on the walls, perhaps try farrow and ball or little Greene. For the wallpaper Maybe a subtle pattern in a metallic to bounce some light or a grasscloth effect paper to add texture. I'd lighten the sofas up with throws and cushions in different textures and patterns. Do you prefer a neutral scheme or colour? Have you considered recovering your seat pads on the chairs to lighten them up and maybe add pattern? It's easy with a staple gun! A vase of faux flowers on the table would look great (I love the hydrangea from Oka!) unless of course you can afford real each week and a plant elsewhere. Agree re pendant light over dining table and lamps to cosy the space. Perhaps a bigger rug for the living area to zone the seating space and one for the reading area. Is it also possible to shorten the curtain pole on the main window? For accessories do look at chrome, glass etc as they will bounce light...See MoreDecorating daughter's room, wallpaper?
Comments (7)Hi Julie. Maybe just one wall with it being a busy print and small space. Subtle pales are very in at the moment and are popular for replacing neutrals as a background base. You could pick out one of the bright colours from the florals and use a much lighter version for the paint. For example a pale lemon, pale mint green or a tint of pink would look lovely. The colour may be bright on the paper but you can still compliment it with a lighter pastel to keep the room colourful and vibrant. Good luck with whatever you decide. x...See MorePlease help-plaster crumbling off when stripping wallpaper
Comments (2)I agree with Daisy. I watched our decorator prep our living room walls which had lots of small craters above the fireplace. He used white filler to fill the holes, left it to dry, then spent quite some time hand sanding it smooth. Lots of white dust everywhere but it looked amazing when it was done. This will be so much cheaper for you if you don’t mind a bit of graft. Here’s my lovely smooth wall!...See Moremoorlikeit
