Hearth tiles

8 years ago

Hello! I love this house and am currently doing up my house on the ' laddar' ! Are the hearth tiles ( floor tiles) in fireplace original or did you replace them and if so where from? Many thanks!

The tiles were replaced. The client sourced them directly and I do not have a record of the supplier.

My pleasure. I think avoiding wallpaper is a top idea. Having 50 samples and not liking any is a clue! It is such a huge room and wallpaper could look incredibly busy and isn't really the modern look you say you want. Downpipe is great, but I would then have a lighter grey on the top half of the walls and then a chalky white on the ceiling. The cornicing that isn't really cornicing and the other details that are above the doors could then be the same as the top half of the wall or the ceiling - I don't think they should be the same as the bottom half of the walls because, if you look at it now, it chops up the room too much - but that might just be in the photos. You can add pattern in soft furnishings and those giant curtains you are going to have to buy at some point! Here's a picture of what I did in our last house when I decided to embrace the dark and make it cosy. It is a MUCH smaller room than yours, but I used Pigeon and then a Downpipe-ish colour.

Hi Laure, I guess it comes down to personal taste but I'm a big fan of white painting everything, quite literally brightens my day, particularly in winter. And a white backdrop allows you to introduce colour in a more flexible way. So thumbs up for that. My recommendation would be (might be repeating what others have suggested already): 1) remove the carpets + sand and varnish/paint the floorboards underneath, if in a bad state consider lino/vinyl as an affordable alternative - either plain or patterned: consider painting the wooden shutters and fireplace 3) as most others suggested, browse charity shops, reclamation yards and Ebay for art, mirrors etc and not only look at what it is but also what it could be if you repurpose or paint it. Putting frames up in clusters is great, I personally prefer large canvas - with a bit of confidence you can create abstract art yourself 4) add flowers or potted plants 5) finally, lighting is everything. Go for indirect lighting, invest in multiple light sources and go for dimmers. From what I can tell the room's key asset isn't size but its comfy atmosphere - try to highlight that by working with a 'less is more' attitude. I would focus on lighting, flowers and one or two striking pieces. (-> Ignore my carpet comment, I read above that they're brand new) Good luck!

Thank you! Do you think any of these would be suitable? http://www.westelm.co.uk/honeycomb-textured-wool-rug-horseradish-t804 - possibly too warm and might be a bit much with the warmth of the wood? http://www.westelm.co.uk/distressed-rococo-wool-rug-horseradish-t1764 http://www.westelm.co.uk/prism-wool-rug-soot-t1301 http://www.westelm.co.uk/colca-wool-rug-t1657 http://www.westelm.co.uk/roar-rabbit-graphic-texture-rug-horseradish-t2464 http://www.westelm.co.uk/art-kilim-wool-rug-t2468

That is a very attractive fireplace. I’ve never seen a gas fire that nice. I agree painting the surround white, grey, anything really will be an improvement. I rather like the hearth. Here’s some ideas
