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 MoreWallpaper or paint for a house yr selling?
Comments (19)I have a view on this having discussed it with my sister who is a home stager in the USA. Having painted my last 2 places "White Chocolate" by Craig and Rose (my OH called it posh Magnolia), following my sis's lead in using the equivalent "Inviting Ivory" (Sherwin-Williams US paint) - times have moved on. Before we moved from the "London-By-Sea" (Brighton) we were off-trend. The metropolitan-style savvy locals had bought white big-time. Nothing with any yellow undertone was permitted. Magnolia was viewed as the "Devil's Colour". Then came the grey and greige revolution. Everything neutral as long as it was grayscale. But as us folks up-north and less savvy caught on, the metro-elites moved on to new pastures. Recently I have started to spot a colour called "cashmere" - I am tempted to change my obsession - but first I need to make sure I am not committing some cardinal colour sin that I will be regretting and lusting after F&B "Clunch"!...See MorePoll: wallpaper or paint?

Comments (10)Ah ok I see what you mean. Thank you. Should have probably used it before I painted but it's not something that has happened before. I'm trying to paint over the actual wallpaper but it's bubbled in the middle and not just the edges 😱 It's a nightmare. Not just one place either or id hide it with a plant 🤣🌿 Have to see what it's like in daylight and might just have to strip it back and start again. Never had this before but then I rarely wallpaper so always paint onto plaster....See MoreEades & Draw
