What do you think about porcelain floor tiles for a living room?
Comments (7)I have wood effect tiles in my hall and kitchen, I'm not sure if they are porcelain or ceramic but they aren't holding up too well. Tiny chips appear and it looks like little specs of paint on the floor :( not sure where they come from whether it's when something is dropped on it or a chair scraped or something but I wouldn't have them down myself (they were here when we bought) I have however had Karndean flooring laid in my lounge and that is superb. Not noisy underfoot nor cold unlike wood and laminate so I'm very happy with that. Needs hoovering everyday though, but I have a toddler and a dog....See Morethinking through room enfilade - how would you do this?
Comments (9)I still think that you can embrace bolder colours and should consider bold coloured walls a frame for your furniture and art. I hope that the enclosed pictures illustrate that if the dark colour represents less than 50% of the total surfaces in the room the room still feels bright. In fact I think that contrast has the crisp modern feel you wanted. So in your middle room that has reasonable light if you painted the walls a bold colour, the wood work and coving a shade of white and then the ceiling and the wall above the picture rail a pale grey on balance the room will have more light than dark (especially when you add in curtains and furniture and cover some of the wall with pictures and mirrors). Likewise if you painted your whole kitchen a deep colour a lot of it would be covered with cabinets and the deep colour will frame the furniture. So I think that you should have courage to paint your island and canopy a dark shade and a mid tone colour for at least one wall in the kitchen. You hallway is the least light space. You can play safe with a pale colour but in my opinion painting a room white doesn’t increase the light. Consider a mid tone colour confident that there will be well balanced as most hallways have lots of doors and other woodwork that you can paint in the white of your choice....See MoreWhat do you think about concrete bathroom and kitchen?
Comments (5)Hello Pelagia, I must say I love concrete and it works in both kitchens and bathrooms beautifully! Textured or smooth. Plaster too is an absolute favourite as is terrazzo and all would work together. I would like to suggest these ideas which I think compliment. The other thing of course is to consider how you can carry concrete throughout to create a seamless home. So it forms a coherent material language if you will. It doesn't have to be in large ways it could be in the form of accessories, for example. This first image is mine and includes walls, flooring and worktop to compliment what is actually brass cabinetry with some mid century brass table/chairs and Murano glass. The idea behind it is to create a room in its own right. That is less "kitcheny" in visual appearance and more a functioning beautiful space that you could entertain in as much as you could cook in. Size being key here, of course. You could add concrete shelving etc but I have left the scheme as is to fit the aesthetic. This is just one half of a much larger room but you get the idea. This second I found on the web. I am not partial to mirrored cabinetry but the bathroom has lovely qualities which I think compliment my kitchen design. Some ideas for you to consider. Beautiful accessories and natural earthy elements compliment wonderfully as do a mix of materials, wood, slate and stone. Either way, enjoy what you decide.

8 years agoI would assume you are renting this place and therefore would not want to put wallpaper or paint the walls.
(1) find a big art colourful art and hang it by the dining table - make sure it is bigger than the table itself.
(2) wall divider will be ideal.
(3) add side table by the bed and introduce accent lighting.
(4) put a neutral coloured rug by the living space.
(5) add colourful cushions with different tectures too - 3 will be good for sofa and 2-4 for bed
(6) Invest on happy bedsheets/ throw - colourful to match your sitting room
(7) add some tasteful finishing touches on the tv cabinet and if possible add a little personality by resting a nice art on it and fer picture frames.
Choose colours which will go with the curtains - yellow/ orange/ blue/ gold/ green tones
That should make the place fun, lively, young, personal and very cheaply.
Update us with the finished look.
All the best
