The upper wall in my family room is huge and empty. The ceiling is 20 feet high, with a "bump" in the middle at 10 feet. I'm open to anything: fabric, trim, etc. The paint is greige, and I have turquoise glass accents for color on the fireplace mantel. Do I leave it? Do I fill it? Help!

What practical feature/item do you secretly crave for your house?
Comments (98)Lights which automatically turn on when I enter a room (especially in the kitchen and in the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom) and lights inside my wardrobes (especially inside the one in the bedroom: I often get up earlier than my hubby, and it may be still dark outside, and I don't want to wake him up while I'm looking for my stockings)....See MoreHuge living room, very dated!
Comments (18)Personally I don't think you need to extend to make the kitchen or bathroom bigger. However there are a few jobs that I would prioritise to sell it. Decorate everywhere, get rid of gloss on ceilings, add quality, substantial coving to the main reception room. I would also consider if the "mahogany" skirting board and doors are high enough quality to keep- they may be better painted. Personally I would spend the most time remodelling the kitchen. I suspect if you reduced the number of doors and windows you could refit it and make it seem bigger without extending. I think that the family bathroom is plenty big enough but the corner bath is a dated choice. An inexpensive white replacement suite could do wonders for selling. Flooring- I think you are right to consider carpet. For selling this may well be the fastest most inexpensive flooring choice. Curtains- personally I think the pole position dates the decor. I think the windows need wider poles positioned higher. Since you are going to be buying some stuff for this house have you considered employing a designer as they can help coordinate the look and have trade discounts that may well go a long way to offset their fee. So best of luck- it looks like a fab house...See MoreWhat would you put along this living room wall?

Comments (10)Hello! Wow! Thank you very much for your advice. So, there is a radiator on the right hand wall. That is where current owners put their tv. Not sure it will fit, will measure up soon hopefully. The TV could go on a smaller unit to be honest, and will make sure radiator is turned down! Just worried that there isn't enough room for a corner sofa there with the door to the hallway..(see photos on rightmove) I LOVE the idea of large mirrors either side of fireplace. Pinching that! ;) My current living room is decorated in shades of greys and lots of gold. Thinking of going navy and gold but not too sure. Sofa colours argh! Huge thanks I'm very grateful.
