Hello Nusrat, I see you have quite big windows, so your room shouldn't lack light. You didn't mention anything about the carpet, but i it is staying I would definitely go for sofas with light colour, or something soft. Could be beige, warm grey, off white, etc. The wall colour on one side is lilac, it would be nice to repeat this colour maybe by adding some ornaments, cushions, wall art, etc. You will definitely need to give more depth to this room, think of your favourite style as well you would like your space to feature, it should also reflect your personality.

Hi. Have just put a few colours together. But the absolute best way of starting to choose colours is to measure the colours of your fixed finishes first. (Flooring & cabinet) You can do that with a tiny device which connects to an app on your phone. (approx £55 on Amazon) It’s similar to taking a snapshot but it measures key attributes of colour. In particular to which Hue Family it belongs. Once you have that info, it’s possible to locate & plot the colours on the Color Strategist Wheel. In doing that you have a reference point for searching for paint colours to create harmonies with your finishes. So choosing colours from the same Hue Family would create a monochrome palette. Choosing colours from the opposite Hue Family would be complementary etc. (It takes a whole lot of guesswork out of finding paint colours) 🌈

Hi Annabelle, I had a quick plan with a layout which gives you a bit more sense of space with some furniture in. You've still got space to add more storage or move the 'girls' desk on the wall the double doors are on. Disclaimer: I am no expert, just enjoy layouts and floor plans but hope it helps you visualise your options a bit more. Style/colours are a bit random but they were pieces that I thought were the best 'size' for the room. You could probably have a smaller L shaped sofa or a nice corner desk for the girls to work on. Not sure on your taste, but Next has a lovely one from their 'Bronx' range, I also really like theirladder desk.

I am looking to turn my downstairs cloakroom into a 'lootility' by rearranging the current set up and fitting in a stacked washer and dryer and hopefully a small cupboard. My main question is, would there be enough room for a stacked washer and dryer as well as a toilet and small sink? Also, would there be enough room with the toilet by the door? The room measures 94cm by 194cm and I have attached the layout here. I would like both a washing machine and dryer and my kitchen doesn't have enough room without doing a refit because as great as a combined washer dryer is, it does slow laundry down! Any advice, suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
