Hi there. Thanks for your question and really pleased you like our lego wall. We find adults enjoy it as much (if not more) than the children. We used standard size baseplates and our contractor cut them to the size we needed for this wall. Hope that helps and best of luck with your project. Susie

Thanks very much! How did you stick them to the wall? Any particular glue?

Hi , if you made the chimney breaks and in the opposite wall there is another section of wall that protrudes. Why don't you create a stripe using these two features? It could run like a track or something? A rail road? Or just a solid stripe that would help create a submissive divide? It could look quite cool if it ran over the ceiling. Just could make quite a cool feature? Or you could find a green if a similar colour to the stripe on the fireplace and continue that stripe in paint up the wall. You could then do the rest of the wall in a softer colour. So the stripe either continues straight up or creates a small pattern (a bit like on an etch a sketch)... If they like colouring why don't you use one wall as a giant chalk board so they have free reign? The deep green with a pale pink (don't panic about the pink and boys you maybe thankful for it:) on the tensing walls would look v cool in my view. If you did use a giant chalk board (you can get ones that act like a wallpaper that stick to the walls) the. Grey from it would sit nicely too. Primary colours are great too but you can end up with stimulation overload so be careful especially if they have their friends round! Cheers Lucy

It's a gorgeous room. I love the dramatic colour. If you can bear to part with a few things and have a little bit of a purge of books and toys that will help to relieve storage pressure. Then you could create some cupboards to the bottom of the alcove shelves so that toys can be hidden away. Moving the piano to behind the door will help with creating a more open feeling when you first step into the room, but add a door stop so the door and piano are protected from hitting into each other. Moving the chaise to where the piano is now and adding storage trunk/window seat would create a nice grouped seating space. You could use a central low table with storage incorporated as a multi-functional coffee table and arts/crafts space for the children.

I don't know what everyone likes stylewise or colours but I quite like the houses on the wall in the first pic on the wall where your sofa is. The kids could update the characters in the Windows using decals when they grow out of a phase. It's only paint so easy to paint over when they're teenagers. The rest of the walls i'd do in a scrubbable paint. Where the radiator is i'd add a table like pic 2 but with the shelves underneath the table in pic 3 for craft storage (maybe make it deep enough for a games console in the future). I'd also add cheap shelves above for art and pencil storage etc with bins etc. The desk could be raised when they grow but also used as a tv stand when they're older. The eames chairs are kids one, they're easy to keep clean and quite cheap at £25 (seat height is 32cm) for when they grow out of them. I'd add a rug in the middle and the beanbag by the bookcase. You could add a "once upon a time" or a "read" decal over the bookcase And maybe star bunting or Pom poms over the eaves to cosy up the reading area. l'd add clothes pegs on the cupboard door for their dress up stuff plus a couple of toy bags for lightweight bits. I'd keep the rest of the room free for play (although the existing drawers could be handy) and when they're older add a sofa for tv, PlayStation etc. What type of lights do you have ATM?

I agree with Jonathan about the blind, it is stealing light. Low ikea cube shelving units are good with stacked clear lidded boxes from Rymans for storing lego. I would also suggest a bed base with space underneath as you can get long narrow boxes that can be stored under beds and tucked away. This means the messy clutter aspect of lego can be hidden making space for displaying their finished models. Although he is young now, I would say that investing in bespoke flexible storage may be something that is used for years to come. Our house was actually chosen in part to accommodate lego and drum kits, so determined was I to have spaces for creative play rather than just gadgets which is often the norm. On the subject of colour, dark rooms tend to benefit from two approaches - either paint in a lighter reflective (but slightly warm) paint, and/or inject some saturated colour. Subtlety is often lost in these situations so something like a wall of bright orange (maybe the window wall) would give a bit of focus to the room and connect with all of his toys and bits and bobs. Also habitat do bedding in such a bright orange you need sunglasses, this could be used in conjunction with his duvet cover. These are shelves in my son's room, very simple and not costly to have built.
