Under stairs dilemma
Comments (19)I would always rather invest in stunning furniture than spend money on more permanent changes. In my experience you can make any space look great with the right furniture and decor. Rather than spend money on something structural I would work with the space you have with furniture that works better than the heavy farmhouse style. The nicest furniture in the room is the sideboard so I would build on that. I'd look at something like Gubi Beetle dining chairs to bring in an organic streak. Not cheap but cheaper than building in storage (the next best option) or enlarging the window which won't make much difference - and you can take them with you if you move! You could look at Made.com for a cheaper but complementary table. Then a decent lampshade - perhaps Tom Dixon Etch - a side lamp on the sideboard and lots of plants and pots to empathise the organic, cosy nature of the room. Finish with some pictures in the wall and you have a lovely, cosy, earthy room that feels like being down Alice's rabbit hole rather than under the stairs. Good luck....See MoreCurtains, Cushions and rug dilemma !!
Comments (6)What a lovely room. I’m a great fan of curtains that are a similar shade to the walls. I agree dark or colourful curtains can be difficult to place. I was thinking a simple faux silk curtain in a soft gold. I would also go soft gold with the rug, either a patterned Persian style or something more modern. Then cushions to pick up the gold and the tan in your sofas, maybe geometric style to tie in with the wallpaper. Or you could try blue or dark grey cushions to give it more drama? I’m not keen on the vertical blinds - horizontal blinds, say in a white painted wood, would look better....See MoreHelp! Rental decor dilemma
Comments (23)I would have suggested curtains of a similar tone to the walls and although yours are more grey, it still works. They’re inoffensive and once the room is accessorised you won’t even notice them. Are you allowed to put up pictures? Artwork makes so much difference. And a mirror. Once you get your ivory sofa covers, you can try and add some colour with cushions - green or blue would be nice as would burnt orange and earthy tones, stick with neutrals but with added texture, maybe some black, and a casual knitted throw. I really like the boho/Scandi look. A rug in a faded Persian pattern, plants and lighting will finish the look. If boho is not for you, then what do you like - modern, country, Scandi, traditional?...See MoreDilemma - How to break up a long room
Comments (10)I don't think it needs breaking up, really. Not with furniture anyway. If you would put two chairs and a small table there, would you use it? Or would they just stand there to fill up space? I would accessorise the walls with art. Film posters are perhaps a bit cliché, but would still be nice. The walls look very nicely finished, but I'm still mentioning it: you could have used a fabulous mural wallpaper on the wall to the right. Either movie related, or something else that'll be interesting to look at as you walk past it https://www.photowall.co.uk/wall-murals/entertainment/film-and-tv...See More- 10 years ago
