Are there any colours you prefer? Where are you looking to put the wallpaper? What other colours have you used in the rest of the house?

Make the blinds disappear by painting the window wall the same red. Otherwise they will look a bit 'bitty'. You can also pick up the red with assessories and introduce other colours also with artwork. I think lots of cream or natural linen. IKEA do a lovely striped sofa which has a thin red stripes which would give it a French country feel. Sorry I don't like the brown leather sofa and after reading how leather is mass produced I am now having problems with any leather sofas :(

What colour carpet and walls will go with the wardrobe?

Hi there, do you have any photos of the wardrobe and space? Practicality is one of the main reasons why white or cream isn’t the first carpet colour choice as people are worried it will show up the dirt or stain easily. However these days, it’s possible for a pale carpet to keep its good looks, even in heavy traffic areas. Cormar offers a selection of easy-clean, stain-resistant polypropylene carpets that are even bleach cleanable, which means surface dirt like mud and spills, simply wipes away with a damp cloth. If white or cream still isn’t screaming out practicality, why not choose a silver or grey carpet which can be more sympathetic to spills and stains, especially in an easy clean fibre. Or if you’re feeling bold, why not choose a dark blue or charcoal carpet, play around with contrasting colours in the paintwork, furnishings, and well-chosen accessories for a touch of glamour. You can browse our selection of carpets that are designed to cope with everyday household spills here http://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/types_easy_clean.php Let us know what you decide!

Hi Minnie and Carolina. Yes I changed it to Muga from Paint and Paper library. We bought some artwork for a joint 'big' birthday and felt it needed a more saturated wall to put it on. I have been teaching my students alot about dark/light versus dull/bright colours! Indian Yellow is lovely but I like the more retro feel of this.

You have a couple of stunning pictures, above the fireplace and sofa, with burnt orange and dark green colours. If you use those colours for inspiration you can really warm up the rooms. The sofa is quite large so look for large multi-coloured cushions like the ones made by Margo Selby. For the curtains, look at Anthropologie for inspiration. Think of using a soft Ikat pattern on a lightweight linen fabric. Also try to counter-balance the wood pieces by finding a metal or glass side table/coffee table. Xx

Black and white would go with your kitchen and you obviously know you like it as you have it in your living room. It's a very easy colour scheme to change simply just by adding colourful accessorise to it. I would go and get a sample of the wallpaper you like and stick it on the wall, leave it there for a few days and look at it in different lights, you will also want to think about if you will get bored of it quickly.
