I have a cute little alcove in my entry hall. I am about to paint the wall a pale blue/grey Angeles suddenly wondered if I should paint the inside of the alcove a contrasting color? Maybe a deeper blue or charcoal? Help!

Comments (15)I was just reading the comments above and I thought I would draw it up for you. This is a really small room, as soon as you start dividing it up the space will feel ridiculously cramped with all your belongings. I suggest you make your own shelving and desk or hire a carpenter to make you something bespoke for you as it is such a small space. Give yourself a long desk, half for computer half for painting. Where normal depth furniture will hinder door access put your tv area. Put storage beneath your desk area. More importantly instead of having an intrusive book case put a shelf that goes all of the way around the room just above door height. You do not need to acccess your books everyday so make use of the limited space you have and put them up high. This also allows more wall space for your artwork.

Comments (21)I like the pic you've just put up, based on Minnie's idea! I like the way it widens the room having the colour connected to the base cabinets. The darker background to the TV also helps it blend in and the lighter colour on the chimney really highlights the fireplace which looks very pretty....See MoreNeed help with dual room(1. open plan kitchen/dining 2. living room)
Comments (1)Hello nehajo, You have an amazing blank canvas so some questions to help: And there are soo many interior styles so some questions to help: What is your style ? if you are not sure then What colour is the sofa and the style. Do you have a photo? What are the other furniture do you have ? Any photos ? Do you like colours pastels or brights ? What are your favourite colours ? Do you have a favourite shirt, skirt, jumper that has a pattern or style to it? photo please. Do you have a picture or photos that have a coloured frame ? What colour? Do you like plants ? or you have any already ? Are their any sentimental objects ? what is it, description ? What is the rug you want to buy is there a pic of it ? Are you thinking of some sort of fire, faux stove, or a TV for a focal point in the room ? Do you want to have a workspace in the area too? Oh do you have kids if yes then storage for toys etc if older storage for games consoles, games ? MMMmmmI think that is it to start. Cheers :)...See MoreTurning 1 bed flat into 2 bed Extension ideas!
Comments (5)Is there a reason for a second bedroom? I ask as given your budget and the current increasing costs of materials might put a full extension out of budget. Given that, I also note that your current combined kitchen lounge area is larger than the bedroom, so it may be more within budget to think about the layout of these 2 rooms. I see that the current bedroom has an attractive outside aspect. If the kitchen is reconfigured you might be able to achieve this from this room with double doors located next to the gate. If it is possible to knock through between kitchen and lounge you could achieve an open plan or almost open plan in this area with the outside aspect. Some food for thought............See More
