Please I need your help! My front room looks dull, and the wall paper
Comments (4)Hi. The room appears quite dark atm so I'd go for a warm neutral on the walls, perhaps try farrow and ball or little Greene. For the wallpaper Maybe a subtle pattern in a metallic to bounce some light or a grasscloth effect paper to add texture. I'd lighten the sofas up with throws and cushions in different textures and patterns. Do you prefer a neutral scheme or colour? Have you considered recovering your seat pads on the chairs to lighten them up and maybe add pattern? It's easy with a staple gun! A vase of faux flowers on the table would look great (I love the hydrangea from Oka!) unless of course you can afford real each week and a plant elsewhere. Agree re pendant light over dining table and lamps to cosy the space. Perhaps a bigger rug for the living area to zone the seating space and one for the reading area. Is it also possible to shorten the curtain pole on the main window? For accessories do look at chrome, glass etc as they will bounce light...See MorePlease Help Identify This Wallpaper

Comments (11)I think the mantelpiece would look good painted white, although if you want contrast you could consider matching other wood types you have in the room, e.g. furniture, doors etc. A word of warning about painting the bricks, they are heavily textured so won't be easy to paint. You will need to thin the paint and do at least three coats using a brush. There are probably some guides on doing this on the internet. A masonry paint is best. Not sure if the fire itself is used and is being kept, but it looks rather dated and could be worth replacing at a later date, or if not used, getting removed by a plumber, and being replaced by decorative pillar candles or logs...just a thought. Good luck with the decorating and Happy New Year!...See MoreLiving room wallpaper / toybox / decoration ideas??
