Indoor living walls are surely a hit! In addition to looking fabulous, certain plants are great at removing pollution from the air and living walls provide insulation. I have installed many living walls and work directly with Treebox (who supply and install their own green wall system around the country) and we have not yet heard any issues with insects. Irrigation systems and regular maintenance from a professional should keep the living wall healthy and looking good.

Hi Robin, Lovely room - I love the wall colour and bookcase! How much of the bookcase does the leather sofa block? I used to have a sofa against a bookshelf and while I grew used to it it did annoy me a bit with the wasted/hard to access shelf space! You could rearrange the furniture in the room so that the leather sofa had its back to the radiator and the seating area was in more of an L-shape rather than with the sofas opposite each other, and then put a rug/layered rugs down (which always looks nice on floorboards, at least I think!). In terms of what to do above the fireplace - I like the idea of hanging a big artwork, or photographs, or you could hang a large mirror, or both a mirror and artwork!

Hello Sonia This sounds like an exciting project. Did you have a chance to go to Olafur Eliasson's show at The Tate. He installed a huge moss wall. I am sure if you contact his studio they will help you as they are good people and really into eco and natural solutions. One other way of bringing the outside inside is to use artwork that references nature. There are a number of artists I work with who could echo the natural landscape beautifully. Some of them are incredibly exciting and would likely represent a good investment. I charge £150 for 10 ideas and you can see more about how I work on www.louisawarfieldart.com Please do call me on 07855 803509 if you would like to discuss how art can bring the outside in. Kindest Lou

It's a loft style room so I would steer clear of bright paint colours. I would not emphasize the recess but paint it all one colour. Looks like it might have been an old doorway. I would paint it all white or a very light neutral with no yellow undertones and consider a larger artwork as the current one looks a bit lost. You could also wallpaper the recess with something simple. An etching style wallpaper or mural perhaps? It's a lovely bright space. I think it needs some black maybe in the frame of the artwork. This will provide depth. You could also use slatted panelling in the recess to provide a natural feel.
