Hi, I have a small Victorian terrace house with the typical 22ft long, narrow living room. At one end I have a solid oak dining table with dark chocolate coloured chairs. At the other end will be the sofa which I haven't bought yet. I have chosen leather for it's durability and easy cleaning as I have a dog. I have picked a sofa based on looks, comfort, fillings etc. It comes in a choice of leathers. My question is, can I have two different shades of brown leather in the same room? I don't want them to match. The walls will probably be white and I plan on having a white or similarly neutral coloured fabric wing back chair by the sofa next to the fire which will kind of sit between the two items in question. I (think) I have posted a picture of the chairs and the two possible sofa swatches side by side. This is my first house, I 've never had to decorate before!? Thank you in advance : )

Hi, I think this is a decision based upon how you like your house set up. I personally like a co-ordinated looks, in the sense that there's a basic layout in each room. If the rooms are small, id have yhe same floor through out but if they are larger may consider different flooring, personally speaking. Different flooring isnt bad but in too small spaces may just become overpowering or mix-match In our latest renovation, we kept the flooring the same in each rooms on the same floor but had a contrasting floor in the hallway which falls in the centre and so creates a nice divide. Good Iuck

Hi, Ellie Choosing pendant lights of different sizes is not a bad thing at all. Opting for an asymmetric decoration brings more character and warmth. Now, about the light above the table, the average space given between the bottom of the pendants light and to the top of the table surface is between 71 and 91 cm. The size that you have chosen is then more than OK. If you want to get some more tips about decoration or tutorial on how to fix elements of your home.

Jo, I visited a relative in their care home today and saw these lamps in the lounge area so had to take a picture! The home is brand new and beautifully decorated (they used an interior designer) so I would say the bigger the better for your lamps! 😊
