What would you do with this room?
Comments (38)I was going to comment but Amber done it all for me (Amber rearrange my tiny room plz.) This room has so much scope and basically just needs key pieces already there to be placed better. I agree with curtains longer poles let them FREE no tie backs get closer with your seating for conversation areas plz lose little rug in front of harth. Group some of your ornaments so not so granny looking. A few plants and flowers to give the room life. Take care hanging pictures on walls they need to be hung straight with thought to viewing height if too small as some are group them for more impact. Get a large picture or mirror over fireplace they are not expensive one that reflects what you love. Keep all the vintage toys especially old horse he's great adds charm and old car lovely. I would repaint but wait till furniture rearranged then sit back in there with light flooding in from your beautiful windows and see what colours the natural light loves then decide. Well I was there with you for a moment :) Beautiful room and great pieces just need sorting have fun...See MoreNew modular building blocks - what would you create?

Comments (2)Hi - thanks for taking the time out and providing an interesting response. I think its great that you are confident in your own style enough to implement them in your interiors. A lot of the clients I come across don't necessarily know what their style is and tend to stick to safe items and colours. Basically whites and IKEA! I totally agree with you on having items which appeal to you and I proactively practice this in my designs, that they need to be about you. Collecting items, art, memorabilia are all things I take into consideration and give ideas to my clients as how and where to buy them if they don't have them already. For example, a recent client of mine was French however his home had no French art work whatsoever, in my designs I suggested a few French prints and where to get them from. I too wouldn't like it if someone were to tell me what to buy especially if it was not to my taste. I always provide my client with at least 2-3 floor layout options, so the choice is always theres - my job is to use my design skills to create the best design that suits them and their lifestyle. Not to mention the 3D renderings which I love to create and are loved by my clients. They give ideas how a room can look and never forced upon. I always provide several furniture options sometimes 4 if I get carried away and again the point of it is to give the client the ideas to help achieve their goal, not to dictate to them. Plus I get up to 20% off trade stores like John Lewis, West Elm, Habitat even on paint! So clients see the huge savings they are making just by hiring a designer who provides them with not only designs but trade discounts too! Thank you so much for your question, it's so interesting to see how other people view Interior Designers....See MoreWhat would you do with this bedroom?
Comments (10)Hi Ceri, I will agree there is too much blue in this space, Although those chest of drawers and the bed still look in good condition and has potential to be reused in the space. The inclusion of a shaker-style wardrobe seems like a lovely idea as well. I liked the color of the walls, would suggest going with the same color as the other walls for the shaker cabinet to not let it stand out. For the wall behind the bed, a deeper blue ( if it has to be blue) will go well with the dark wood furniture. I would definitely introduce a complimentary color into the space. A mustard yellow or a dusty pink shade would go really well in the space. I would also suggest planning the space out since you are taking out the mirrored sliding doors, you would want to find a place you could hang a full-length mirror? Maybe the TV Unit could be wall mounted. You'd also want to think about the artworks hanging in the space, they seem out of proportion. The chair in the corner looks a bit too crammed on there. You probably only want a bedside table? Since you're doing the Ceiling, I would suggest having the ceiling design with an inbuilt curtain track for a sheer and solid curtain. It looks much smarter and modern. Also makes the room visually taller with the floor-to-ceiling curtains You might also want to increase the no of ceiling lights and change the pendant light. Since you're also planning to change the flooring, I would suggest going for a grey ish oak flooring and not a natural oak one to pair it well with the dark furniture And the Last suggestion, I would have painted the inbuilt cupboard, side of the doors the same colour as the walls. as it stands out a lot . I would also paint the interior of the doors atleast same as the room colour or something darker ( like two tones darker than the existing wall colour or a grey ish ) as the stark white doors stand out a bit too much and will stand out with all teh dark furniture and moody vibe in the space. Hope this was helpful. Good luck with the decoration :D go really well....See More
