have been considering wallpapering/painting walls either side of stove when it's finished and would love some suggestions. Also just some general advice on finishing the whole room would be nice...thanks :)

Greys would work to. Pale grey in rest walls. Plum/purple beside tiles

Hi there! I'd love to see the stove pop even more, you could go for some crisp white paint behind the stove and either side of it, which could really help the contrast as well as brighten the space! Just a thought :)

Thanks for reply, I just don't think white would suit curtains. :)

I love both. The cushioned headboards are stunning, but I tend to think that the wooden sleigh beds will never date. Anything will look exceptional with this gorgeous wallpaper. Would love to hear what you do chose though.

Hi Lindsey, How about a geometric style wallpaper? I'd suggest keeping the dado rail, wall below and skirting the same colour, and having the wallpaper above as you propose. A geometric design is contemporary and will add energy and life to the space. I'd suggest one of the following: Zoffany Spark paper GP & J Baker Langdale Trellis paper Farrow & Ball Tessella paper For the paint colour, Farrow & Ball have a great selection: Farrow & Ball paint colours I wouldn't have too much of a contrast between the paint and wallpaper colours, as the difference between a flat paint colour and geometric design should be enough of an impact. Hope that helps! PB

I think pick out the green or the blue in the wallpaper, but go a shade or two lighter. There’s a lovely programme on bbc2 at the moment where artisans decorate a William Morris Arts & Crafts House room by room each week which may give you some more inspiration.

I would pick out a colour in the tile

behind the wood burner and make it a warm feature wall. from what I can see of the tile, perhaps an olive green paint - It would tie all the existing paint colour and wood together. I would go for light plain curtains and remove the tv from the wall.

Hi. Has the coving been purchased already? I would be tempted to leave it personally, it may fight with the stove. I agree with others an olive green or maybe a grey for the alcoves. Has the rest of the room been painted? I think you need to introduce colour, you've got the striking pink and olive in your blinds but there isn't colour in the rest of the room, and texture as there's a lot of wood. I'd look at kitchen accessories. Maybe look at painting dining table legs and chairs (if you want a country look!). If not maybe a table runner and cushions with a big vase of flowers. I'd put an occasional chair to the left of the stove. It will make the area cosy and hopefully cover the sockets. I'd add a basket for logs the other side ( although not convinced it's a wood burner?!). Maybe have a rug in front of the hearth or if you like them as some people don't, put one under the table. I'd also look at the furniture arrangement, there looks to be space to pull the dining table out from the wall? Maybe also pendant lights for over the breakfast bar and potentially one in the dining space? Do also look at plants and herbs, they'll pick up the green and look great in a kitchen. I think also a bigger piece of art over the radiator and maybe move the art either side of the clock elsewhere
