Kitchen help please! Help with colours etc for a small update.
Comments (31)I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)...See MoreNeed some help on What colour Please - Please help
Comments (14)Greg think you have made a great start, just needs a few colourful statement pieces. Firstly the chest of drawers are fab, my suggestion if you like them would be to utilise them in the lounge either side of the radiator under the window, for storing what looks like cd's the other side of the fireplace in these. You could put the existing cubes either side of the two sofa's. I would ditch the rug in the lounge, and get something bold and bright such as cobalt blue with orange/yellow. In the bedroom, keep the IKEA drawers and paint them either black or dark blue and have them adjacent to each other on the back wall opposite the bed, with the TV on top as someone has already suggested. The art work is great, but would swap it over to where the mirror is and move that elsewhere. Again ditch the rug, maybe an animal skin would work well in here, keeping a masculine feel. Pick some of the colours from the artwork for a well chosen throw and cushions for the bed, and don't be afraid to use some other accessories such as vases, lamps and dare I say candles!...See Moreseeking ideas for window behind bed
Comments (6)We’ve recently gone for French style curtain poles which curve back to the wall, preventing light seeping round the sides of the curtains. With blackout linings these are proving very effective, and look good too. A combination of blackout blinds and curtains is a good idea, whatever type of curtain pole one has....See MoreHelp make a 2 bed. New floor plan ideas please!
Comments (3)I think this might be the quickest/cheapest option. Assuming the space is big enough and is constructed in the same manner as the rest of the house (not single skin like a garage etc). Remove the door and replace with a window then build a wall to separate from the kitchen. Couple of days work plus decorating time....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHu Liornoli, personally with big ticket items like curtains I always go neutral because I only buy quality and quality with cheap curtains is not an association I often found. This way when I redecorate in years to come I can keep the curtains and re work the other areas.
For colours I would pick the burnt orange you have in the flooring and tie that in the room.
Paint the walls a nice mushroom colour, then find a fluffy orange bedspread to introduce some texture and luxury to the scheme, layer a neutral large bedspread with a mohair throw over the top to add the colour. Same with lamp shades and a few cushions, TKMax had plain velvet cushion at £10 if you're quick you can grab a few. http://www.tkmaxx.com/cushions/orange-velvet-cushion/invt/61506173

8 years agoIt looks like you'll need to hang either curtains that match in with your bedding or fit a blind - see attached photos to help give you an idea of how that would look. If the flooring is to remain, I'd buy a couple of orange cushions for the bed to tie the room together. Hope that helps

8 years agoI always like table lamps and given that your bedside tables are quite low, I'd go for tall lamps. I've attached some that you may like......check out eBay for good value (that's where the onion lights I've shown are)

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHere's a great example how orange and blue/teal shades work as accents in a neutral interior.
Keep most of it neutral and just add a few slashes of colour. If you plan on keeping the teal cushions see if you can find some orange cushion with a bit of pattern not plain so that it would look better with the plain teal ones.
Good luck, take your time to find the perfect items, don't rush it. Just make sure you come and show us the result :)
