What's the most important thing an entrance should have?
Comments (14)A place to immediately take your dirty boots and wet raincoat off. I've seen lots of entrances designed nicely with a thought of minimalism which had just a closed wardrobe at the opposite corner to hide your closes and shoes in, and there always 've been a problem of a pile of dirty boots near the door or a dirty footprints 'road' between a door and a shoe-washing place and puddles of water from raincoats on the way to the wardrobe. Design should be practical. Entrance is a transition room between dirty street and cozy rooms, so it has to provide smooth transition, giving you things which make your life easier and more comfortable. If it's hard for you to lace your shoes standing, it has to have a seat. If you have a big family, you need a place (it may be just a mat or kind of open shelving) near the door to take all of your shoes off. If it's rainy or snowy where you live you need some spot to let your coats dry a bit before hiding them to the wardrobe and so on. If you use umbrellas, you need a spot to put it once you enter the house... There are lots of other practical things you may need....See MoreMaking most of existing bedroom furniture
Comments (26)Hi Mary what a lovely room. The cushions I bought ages ago, I think they were from Wayfair. I have had them for over a year so not sure you will be able to get them now. Lamp shade is from The Range. they sell the shades separately so had to buy base too....See MoreI need some things to complete our bedroom!
Comments (41)I would put the pair of glass candle lamps together on the right side chest and opt for sidelamps with more oomph - something bigger and squat. You could also add other ornaments in different heights grouped together - don't split matching items too symmetrically, balance is key but symmetry may be boring. A geometrically patterned rug or two will look nice alonside the bed and/or at the foot of it. A narrow console unit would look nice beneath the tv; you could go for vintage as your style is very simple. Don't be afraid to dare a little - playing safe is not always the safest!!! Add a comfy reading chair with lampstand and cushions and a footwarmer or plaid on the bed and some more wall art - the heart is a great start but add more. Think layers. You have a great basic palate to funk it up a lot!...See MoreWhat bedroom theme do your kids have & what features work best?
Comments (5)thankyou. im really pleased with how window seat turned out, i'll be up there with a book and coffee on my day off. :-) Carpet is going to be same throughout all house keep cost down. thick and grey/ silver. when budget gets replenished she wants a bunk bed with desk and seat bed underneath for friends. personally I don't think she will want a bunk bed for long. Getting her to keep room tidy is going to be a nightmare. Paper.......everywhere. notes, drawings etc etc....See MoreSecret Linen Store
