This is Laminam by Crossville Inc. It is a 1mx3m panel that is about 1/8" thick. It is a very cool product!

Tricky one, I'm not usually a fan of 1930s fireplaces but this one is better than most. It really depends on the style you are creating in the room, it's never going to look contemporary or cool but it is an original period feature. If I could make it work I would be inclined to keep it but if it was restricting my design choices too much I would get rid of it!

I have small downstairs wc that was black - with light wooden floor and white ceiling - otherwise it would have resembled a cave I think !! ( it's now esspreso brown with cream faux books - tried to take a photo - but need wide angle lens as its so small ) Try painting the Pine ceiling white !

I love how you've kept the character alive in a tasteful eclectic mix. I think you may like a splash of colour in the bathroom by adding a canvas roman blind in a bold teal with a coordinating runner rug and some luxurious towels. A wall mounted rack for folded towels above the loo, will interrupt the monotone of the wall as may a plant or some. Also some woven floor baskets or quirky toiletpaper or magazine container to add interest.

Hello Richard. It all depends on your budget, style of exterior you like, is the front facing south or north, east or west and the colour schemes and textures... All these will make a different to how you feel about the building and what design to go with. If you have just moved in I would recommend living in it a while to get to know it. Observe it during the day and night. Where there is lots of light you want a veranda or conservatory and then in the garden the fruit trees / shubs. If you use just white it can be very stark and will reflect light so that you will end up permanently wearing sunglasses. If in the north you need some white and or colour and possible more light in the area and adjacent interior room so possibly make the windows bigger. (which is great if you are not overlooked). Do you have a favourite thing, ornament, plant, place, memory of trips that you can base your look on ? Look around to see what other people have done. Some councils may state that you have to keep the from in keeping with the rest of the street you are in, especially if you are in a conservation area. We are so spoilt for choice these days and there are many interesting ideas on Houzz and over sources. Most of all take your time and enjoy finding those ideas as all the changes will eat into even the largest of budgets and are expensive to change. Have fun.
