The curtains and blinds will be blocking much more light than the TV. You can see this from how low the shadow comes on the wall below the ceiling. In the third photo you can see light outside just desperate to get in! If you do away with your Roman blind, substituting roller blinds if you need them, you will allow much more light in. Don't let your curtain overlap the window, particularly at the top, it would definitely be worth investing in the longest curtain rail your bay can accept, then make sure you pull the curtains as far back as they can go. Ideally it would be better with a pole the full width of the room straight across the bay, but this won't work if the TV has to sit in the bay. Personally I would paint all your walls and ceilings white and colour the room with accessories. Or if you like coloured walls go for something which has connotations of daylight, perhaps pale blue, pale yellow. It looks as though the wall behind the sofa is grey at the moment and it isn't adding any joy to the room. You can add cushions (or cover the ones on the sofa), in pastel blues/pinks/yellows and this will add the feeling of a summer's day to the room, the colour of your curtains is just right for this. If you can I would change your picture for something the same size but in pastel colours and hang it lower so that it catches the eye as something bright and pretty. At the moment it is sitting in shadow. And one last thought - do you really need all the pieces of your suite in this room? There isn't a law which says you have to keep a suite together - if you don't have room for it all.

Hi Tidesreach, If you wanted to change the sofa then the best way would be to use a second hand items from free cycle or eBay. You will be surprised what you can get with a bit of research. Failing that, you need to tie the sofa's into your over all design. Lighten the ceiling with a coat of white and the walls with a colour to compliment the sofas as best you can. Definitely de-clutter and remove anything too dated. I would be happy to go over things in more detail if you wanted to drop an email to gina.everett@createperfect.co.uk. All the best. Gina

Wow, thanks for the replies! I've got a sample and it's definitely chartreuse. was wondering if a bright blue wall would look good (with the other 3 an off white). Or stick to a green feature wall with blue accents. These cushions were the inspiration... https://www.etsy.com/listing/479319593/scion-mr-fox-harlequin-pillows-65-30-cm?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=scion%20mr%20fox&ref=sr_gallery_35 although I love that map wall I'm not sure if she'l like it as much And I'm afraid it's a very firm NO to pink (I've just asked) Thanks again!

Buying luxury pillows online seems like a very simple task to perform. And indeed, it is, but it helps to have some knowledge to make sure you plump for the perfect pillow! Have a look at our tips on what to consider when you buy pillows on the internet… Size does matter When it comes to buying luxury pillows, size does count. Get the size wrong and you could end up uncomfortable. Dusk offers a full range of sizes in our bedding pillow range – make sure you get one that is right for ‘you’ and not just your ‘bed’. Super king pillows maybe the perfect size for a larger man but if you are shopping for someone smaller then you will of course, need a smaller size. Find your filling In the same way as size, you will also need to take a person-tailored approach to picking the right filling when you are online shopping for a pillow. Everyone has different needs when it comes to levels of softness of a pillow, or a sensitivity to certain fabrics. Dusk has a full range of goose down feather pillows, duck feather and down pillows and ‘feels like down’ pillows too. Pillow filling types We have a variety of materials from, ‘feels like down’, goose down and duck down. Consider the support you will need from a pillow and whether or not you will need to keep away any allergies. - Goose down pillows and duck down pillows are two of the most sought -after fillings available. Synonymous with luxury, they create a soft and cloud-like cushion - Goose feather pillows and duck feather pillows are equally popular. Feathers are slightly firmer than down which is made from soft plumage. Combine the two, and you have the perfect combination of both softness and support. - Feels like down is a filling which made from synthetic microfibre, very similar to the softness of goose down. Like goose feather pillows, it offers strong support for the head and neck. It is ideal for those who may have a sensitivity to feathers. Finally, when buying a pillow online don’t forget to have a look at whether any other pillows you have need replacing. Pillow replacement is something that is often overlooked, so it is worth having a quick look to see whether you can simply make one order online instead of having to go back and make another purchase.
