Please help us turn this house in a home for Christmas
Comments (45)Hi, there! What a great start to this room and a great friend you are for helping this gentleman. 1) I agree with what others have said about placing the two sofas facing each other perpendicular to the fireplace, with the coffee table in between and turning the rug. 2) I also agree that the artwork is what should go above the fireplace, not the tv. Then I think the tv could go on the wall opposite the fireplace, if there is enough room. But if placing the tv in the room with the artwork above the fireplace is difficult, then the tv could go above the fireplace. 3) It's hard to tell where the chandelier is located, but if possible, I'd swag it to be centered over the coffee table and centered with the fireplace. 4) I'd place a large tufted bench with roll arms and small side table or floor lamp in the bay window. This can easily be moved aside or in front of the fireplace during Christmas to make room for a large Christmas tree. 5) I'd go with a medium to dark grey on the walls, leaving the moulding white and LOVE the idea of the accent color of purple on the fireplace wall. I'd also paint all the radiators in the same color as the walls to "hide" them a bit. (You can also have boxes built around the radiators to make it look like a piece of furniture.) 6) If you move the artwork, you will have a blank space between the wall sconces. If those are permanent fixtures, you could place an assortment of mirrors on this wall arranged like artwork. 7) I would find a nice buffet (maybe something like this: http://www.westelm.com/products/parsons-mirror-console-g199/?pkey=cconsoles-buffet-tables&cm_src=consoles-buffet-tables||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-) to place under the sconces, then you can place the chairs to either side of the buffet. It would be a great counter to have for entertaining purposes, to put out an assortment of appetizers. And a design like this, you don't have to be too concerned with covering up or getting too close to the radiator. And the chairs can be stored to either side, but be brought out into the main area for entertaining. Alternatively, you could place a large decorative floor mirror leaning against the wall between the sconces (with the chairs on either side) and place a nice buffet console table behind the couch across from it. 8) To either side of the fireplace in the "nooks", I would put some wood console tables or cabinets (they don't have to be a matching set) in a deep rich java. On top of those, I'd place a tall buffet table lamp and place either one nice piece of art on the wall above or an arrangement of smaller art. You could also do one piece on one side and an arrangement on the other. 9) I would straighten the back couch cushions to make them look more streamlined and place the accent pillows against the back in somewhat of a line, rather than haphazardly. So, there would be one small accent pillow for each of the back pillows or at least evenly spaced out. Golds and bronzes would also look lovely with the greys and purples and I like the idea above about adding something zebra print, too. You have such great pieces to work it, I think most of it will just take rearranging and adding a few things here and there. Good luck! I would love to see the "after" photos!!!...See MoreWhere to get chinoiserie wallpaper without costing a fortune?
Comments (44)Hello Anastasia, I hope you are well. I love the Cole and Son hicks hexagon too and it does look absolutely stunning on the wall. The quality is great too. Both designs will create a WOW and look fabulous and the hall is the place to do it. I am sure you have seen images of the cole and son on the wall too, but just in case https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=image+of+rooms+decorated+with+cole+and+son+geometric+wallpaper&espv=2&biw=1093&bih=494&tbm=isch&imgil=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%253BwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fblog.decoratorsbest.com%25252F2014%25252F04%25252F15%25252Fhow-to-incorporate-geometrics-into-every-room-of-your-home%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%252CwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%252C_&dpr=1.25&usg=okQdK7Jo5A1VFQC8_dFO-7hFb1s%3D&ved=0CD0QyjdqFQoTCN2RpeG-4sgCFUu6GgodfmkBhQ&ei=PVgvVp3_Acv0av7ShagI#tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACUFl7bjpaTieIjhXpxNgsMi79sglGLWntIgdhrNU2mUeh3BoK3NLI_1gDNMJEJCk-BXjpxGiOvfBIRTbCv9-FSWO63ioSCVenE2CwyLv2EZQrGxa4SLHpKhIJyCUYtae0iB0RMsoVXlZ677UqEgmGs1TaZR6HcBHb_1cdQJl0rQSoSCWgrc0sj-AM0EV6UvYKLKQJXKhIJwkQkKT4FeOkRSfNNvI6LJzoqEgnEaI698EhFNhEfbeYBDDIvSCoSCcK_134VJY7reEQnc8dWFW42Z&q=image%20of%20rooms%20decorated%20with%20cole%20and%20son%20geometric%20wallpaper&imgdii=c0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3Bc0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3BR9DSGwjh_uNiyM%3A&imgrc=c_0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A I am a real believer in being brave and going for what you love in your home..... go with gut:-)...See MoreDoes neutral decor really sell a home?
Comments (29)No such thing as a "run of the mill" house if I'm involved! : ) ) Teasing aside though, every house/flat/apartment or room for that matter, can present itself to it's full potential and is just waiting to be unlocked..So for me that means colour dark or light.. I never see a home, room or space I cannot instantly imagine and make beautiful... There is always a way.. Buyers see visuals first so making an impact can be rather important with competition! A house should really sell itself.. With so much competition it's got to be how attractive it is to get it noticed, and then... is it in my budget....Every other checklist happens after those initial two. Assuming you have already decided on a location..... I do agree though the display of one's sock collection or the latest in Aussie bum pants are not desirable! : ))...See MoreMaster bedroom wallpaper
Comments (10)Hi, Sounds like a really fun project, we really love experimenting with wallpaper at Amazing Space it will make a great feature of your space. Here are three favourites and some colour ideas to go with them, that will hopefully get your inspiration going. All of these options have that well Nice textural element to add depth to your space but in a really subtle way with the colours being very light and chalky. I really like the Scandi style for bedrooms as you can keep the space looking fresh and clean but with loads of cosy accessories to make it feel dead comfy. The best thing about these wallpaper options is that you can pretty much use any accent colour for your accessories. 1. Harlequin Tresilio Capas Wallpaper and Quartz Flint 3 http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=3677271505&a=235703&m=1203 https://paint.duluxamazingspace.co.uk/colour/cool-neutrals/muted/kusa5o8H68/50BG76023 This option brings grey tones and a hint of blue so you could use that as your accent colour. Quartz Flint 3 is the colour I would recommend for your walls, this is a soft grey tone also with that hint of blue coming through to pick up the wallpaper. 2. Harlequin Drift Wallpaper, Storm / Linen / Stone and Dusted Moss 4 http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=3060804499&a=235703&m=1203 https://paint.duluxamazingspace.co.uk/colour/whites-and-creams/muted/utIbKW6szh/50YY83037 This is one of my favourite Harlequin wallpaper, and I thought I’d include it as you said you liked Cole and Sons Wood Grain paper. This is a little more subtle but brings in a nice mix of neutral colour tones. Dusted Moss 4 goes really well with this paper as it picks out the neutral tones in the paper and is a nice warm tone for a bedroom to get that cosy relaxed atmosphere. Cole & Son Strand Wallpaper, White and Chalk Blush 4 This is another favourite of mine, from Cole and Sons so you might be familiar with it. This also comes in a darker grey colour, if you want a slightly bolder look but I personally like the softness of this choice. The suggested colour Chalk Blush 4 is a really warm off white tone which will give your space that really airy Scandi feel. http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=3545517487&a=235703&m=1203 https://paint.duluxamazingspace.co.uk/colour/whites-and-creams/pure/kEWieQ7lcX/60YR33047 All the paint swatches are from the Dulux Amazing Space paint range, where you can get 3 free tester pots if you sign up with an email address: https://paint.duluxamazingspace.co.uk I hope you like the ideas! You’ll have to post some pictures when you’ve completed your project so we can see what you decided. Tarnya Dulux Design Expert...See More
