Dont='t worry about the pics, i can see it! It sounds lovely. Have you checked out Abraham Moon cushions and throws, they sound like they'll blend in fabulously Abraham moon We've used it extensively, here are a couple of pics of things we've made using the fabrics, but you can buy ready made!

There are lots of very minor and/or free tweaks that you can do to the whole floor space which will change the feel and lift it. Firstly move the floor standing lamp (and side table?) out of the way and push your sofa right up with an inch or two to spare before it touches the wall. Then on the opposite end site the lamp (and side table?) and put your telephone on it rather than balancing it on the back of the sofa. By moving the sofa up, the space immediately feels larger when you walk in. The lamp by the door and over the back of the sofa will serve two functions -1. it will make a nice soft over light for reading or relaxing & 2. it demarks room division (which you have done very nicely with the shape of your sofa.) Next move the sideboard to the right of the radiator so it is covering the plug points to the left of the fireplace (as you look at the fireplace sat on the sofa) Hang the wall mirror over it and keep what you have on it already - that's a good job. You now have penty of space to walk around the table especially if dining guests are mingling bewteen the kitchen, dining room and lounge. Lower the height of the mirror and wall art - it should be at eye level. You have lots of lovely art in similar frames. They are mounted a little too high and you could gain more impact by grouping them as they are relatively small in size. Re. the art I would suggest making the frames darker in order to match the dark chocolate colour of the sofa. At the moment you have lots of oak (incl. the floor) and consequently nothing is "popping out" as a feature. Darkening the frames will achieve this along with grouping the art. You have a great colour palette but maybe you could add a colour pop? Gold or organge would add to the space - change the rug, add a throw, fill the mantel piece with vases and containers of flowers of various heights in a couple of colour popping colours and bijouterie. Add texture. What you have done so far looks great but sometimes it takes a fresh eye just to tweak. I am at this stage with my lounge. I'll be posting it up in a week or two. It's finished but it's missing something and I don't know what!

Hi Doz, RE THE CHAIR: I really like the chair, if it were me I would re upholster. It's a little retro but thats a good thing. Try shopping around for quotes re upholstery to see if the price is fair. If you really want to breath life into the sofa strip the woodwork and re stain black. Re holster the grey cushions. Add some really nice large cushions (Patterns but stick to one colour) RE CEILING I must confess I normally remove these or over clad. I have tried painting but they always look oppressive even with a coat of paint. Here is a hall I did, the before was painted boards, the after was with the ceiling re plastered. BEFORE = PAINTED T&G AFTER = T&G REMOVED AND CEILING RE PLASTERED Hope that helps, Regards, Martin www.angel-martin.com www.3dinteriorillustration.co.uk

Hi compo73, thank you. I had to try and remember then, it was at a Grand Designs exhibition at the Excel centre about % years ago. But if you go to love-your-home.co.uk you will see very similar, thats where I think it was from.

It does depend on your taste, but I would go for contrasting rather than matching art - something that really pops out of the wall. We have a similar colour scheme to you in our sitting foom and I have gone for abstract art (which I recently discovered a love of). Sorry its not a very good pic of it, but I love the picture, and the colours suit and contrast with the room. There are some really good online retailers - this one was from King and McGaw.
