Comments (8)Thanks again :) Hadn't thought about Christmas! Oops, you're right of course, I will have to grab samples if I can and line them up and see what they look like. We've just had the window ripped out and the increase in light is amazing! This at least means I wont be too worried incorporating red in fear of the room looking too dark. The chair rail is a good idea, I'm assuming it's similar to what I referred to as a dado rail? Wooden trim halfway height around the room? We've just ripped ours off, haha, merely because I wanted to completely change the look of the room. Hmm, maybe I've been premature with that decision, it would have allowed me to add a strong colour and still be able to balance it.... Our children are now grown up, one left home, one back and forwards as attending University so no issues with small sticky fingers. However, we do have an incredibly energetic springer spaniel, so I do need the option to 'paint over' any areas he decided he particularly likes! :D...See MoreHELP NEEDED TWINS ROOM: Low Sloped Ceilings and Colors for Pine
Comments (6)I think you've had good advice. White as a base colour looks very good with pine in my opinion. Then you have endless options for accent colours depending on your children's tastes. You could let each of them choose their favourite colour and zone two areas with white the linking-theme. I have two girls close in age. I know one would definitely choose orange! And the other changes every few years: purple, green, blue, aqua. etc etc. In fact with white as a linking theme, any of these combinations work, and it's pretty easy to change cushions and plain duvet/pillow covers (e.g. from Dunelm) every so often to keep up with their views. White will definitely make it feel roomier and brighter....See MoreNeed help in this space low ceiling light problem
Comments (7)Is it already built? Looks like a 3D render? If not already built then yes I would put some ceiling spotlights in. It looks like you have a narrow strip of flat ceiling (80cm)? if so I would put the spots there. Perhaps angleable spots on a track rather than recessed downlights as that gives you more options for where you point the lights. Then you will also want some lights in the low corners, I would put in plug sockets (perhaps 5amp ones wired to the light circuit) so you can have lamps in the low corners You might also want a wall light or two above the breakfast bar If it is already built it’s a very different kettle of fish and will depend on what is easiest to get wiring to. Might be the ceiling if you can access from the floor above, or the walls if not....See MoreKerry Donnelly

8 years agoHave you tried to scrape some of the armed off? Then you could wallpaper the ceiling.
I was adamant I wanted to keep the original cornicing in my lounge. It's not perfect but I think (hope) the wallpaper looks great.
