The wood beds are made of 4 courses of new oak railway sleepers. I think these are 250x150mm and they come in standard lengths, often around 1.8m or 2.4m, so are cut down to fit. Beds around 600mm high are good to perch on.

My sitting room needs help

A Crew of Two - Thanks for your thoughts. Excellent point about the sofas. I'll have a move around later and then re-photograph. Re the coffee table. I'm not keen on rattan. I was thinking of this ottoman for the centre of the room as it would serve well as a surface on which to place a tray of drinks and nibbles. http://www.made.com/sofas-and-armchairs/ottomans-and-footstools/branagh-large-ottoman-barley-beige What do you think? groverlaxle Thanks re the rugs. I think you are right I'd best source a rug locally. Perhaps it's a good idea for me to choose my ottoman/coffee table first as the one above might get entirely lost on a cream/beige rug. Perhaps a hazlenut sisal would work better in that respect. I like the texture of sisal.

Advice on paint colours for sitting room

Hello headers13, Looking nice! Not much of a mess at all! Normally I'd suggest the idea of dark chimney breast and lighter walls.. Since you have dark cabinets going in then perhaps consider the other way around.. Usually alcoves are better lighter as they then look further away.. Chimney breast to the fore.. Standing out with a beautiful mirror.... I normally don't recommend shelving in alcoves either.. Just a personal taste.. However.... What about approaching it with the idea of scale colouring.. with dark at bottom and working it's way lighter up the shelves.... So you could have dark chimney breast and dark bottom shelves and gradually take the shades up till you get to a creamy white at the top... Ceilings are really gr8 in Whitening by Little Greene.. It would give it a different feel and this style of painting is really in.... You can do it with walls too, see image... Also to lighten the look of the shelving... consider darker and fuller shelves at the bottom and lighten towards the top... This creates the idea of openness with the shelving, thus giving the fireplace the focal point it deserves... : ))

Hello motocross1, There's a whole lot you can do with such a room.. The main aspect are the height of the room, the fireplace which is the focus and feature of the room and then you have the addition of the french windows.. I think it would be fabulous to have some sort of dual aspect seating arrangement.. like a centrally placed chaise longue that is open or a day bed or something that is facing both the fireplace and the french windows depending on which side you sit.. Painting those cabinet doors to blend with the wall colour means that you can give the fireplace a more subtle frame.. Adding the most amazing mirror would then give it a fabulous finish.. It also reflects the light and the doors opposite.. A chandelier too would be a fabulous addition but something a little unusual. I would then consider two large columns with either a statue or a beautiful vase with expansive fronds situated in front of the little rads either side of the french doors.. An armchair for example situated angled in front of one side or either side of the fireplace.. and a sitting chair in closer proximity to the french doors.. Console on the window side with a large decorative piece or floral arrangements. Or consider an antique desk which would also be a lovely addition to the room. Having a dual aspect so to speak giving the sitter a view of either focal points makes for a perfect sitting arrangement and a statement piece in a room that would compliment it entirely.. With a drop down for example on a chaise longue or as this one is.. Pare with side tables to compliment which can be moved around as and when. :)) Images are a range of period to more contemporary which could be wonderful..

Hi Kate Home-Roberts, It will probably be the last thing that goes into the project but maybe one of the most important, wood flooring could be a perfect addition to the project? If you're trying to keep to the original classic farmhouse look or if you wanted to go completely the opposite direction we have options for all. I've attached some links to our floors below that may interest you, our antique range or the classic. Vintage Oak Classic Oak Let us know what you think and perhaps we can be of service to you.
