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 MoreKitchen/living area, wallpaper ideas please?
Comments (2)Diamond Bloom Floral Wallpaper Mono Arthouse 257001 Crown Luxe Highgrove Damask Wallpaper Charcoal M1203 Passepartout Trees Wallpaper Black and White Rasch 605419 I've just picked out some of the colours you mentioned to go work with, it is a little hard to suggest things without a bit more direction, but I thought as a jumping off point incorporating the black but not making it too dark was a good place as any!

Comments (7)Hi Julie. Maybe just one wall with it being a busy print and small space. Subtle pales are very in at the moment and are popular for replacing neutrals as a background base. You could pick out one of the bright colours from the florals and use a much lighter version for the paint. For example a pale lemon, pale mint green or a tint of pink would look lovely. The colour may be bright on the paper but you can still compliment it with a lighter pastel to keep the room colourful and vibrant. Good luck with whatever you decide. x...See MoreHelp with wallpaper
Comments (10)I still think that the furniture placement won't work and that it could be a lot better. Clearly you can't have the two armchairs where they are as there is not way to walk around them, plus one of them would be right in front of the T.V Unit and then block the doorway. You could remove both armchairs and just have the small sofa. It's not a great layout, looks sparse and doesn't use the available space well. This would be much better. It allows for your metre of walk space / chair space around your dining table / pool table and gets a far better seating area for your sofas and T.V area. This is with your furniture as is:-...See Moremoorlikeit
