Hi jesjes,

What a lovely splash of colour your horse picture introduces into that area.

Since you have a contemporary style for your side table and ordered a black vintage mirror already for the wall; I would like to suggest a White Vintage photo frame for your horse to sit comfortably on the table and look especially fine in.

Choosing white not to distract from the colours already present in your picture and the vintage style to tie in with your mirror. If you can find a wooden style which is not too distressed I believe it may all marry very well together.

Good Luck! :)

Do you want to hang it on the wall or just to sit somewhere like a table. Well, I think that by the time you frame it it might be to big for the table so I would frame it with a very large matting around it, I haven't decided on type of frame because I don't know what you want to do with it.

I like grey frames also,I have a tan bricked house and thought of doing the same thing. I took a photo of my house,and in photo shop,I got my designer to superimpose the cad drawings of the new style windows over my old windows,to give me an idea of what style and colour would work,i am glad I did because the grey looked awful. It's a lot of money to spend so it might be worth looking into this. I'm really not sure that grey windows would work well for you,I hope that other Houzzers will chip in with ideas.

Try http://www.handmadekitchens-direct.co.uk - our kitchen was installed when we bought the house but I know from some paperwork left by the previous owners that this is where it came from. From what I can gather the previous owner painted the kitchen herself too to save some money. It's a very good quality kitchen that has stood the test of time and 3 children! I'll have a quick tidy and post some pics if you think it would help. Good luck.

Hi, anthracite grey with cream rendering is a very nice contrast and the tones compliment each other well. (Sorry, the pic is sliding doors not bifolds) Grey doors with white windows is not a faux pas so don't be put off... Finally, two-tone doors are an option if you want to match the lantern, having grey or black outside and white inside, however I always think this looks a little odd when the doors are open as you see the alternate colours together, and the inside of the frames on the hinges too. Horses for courses though. There are options for every taste out there.

It could be anything. But what can work really well is to frame something that means something to you. For instance, we have framed a pocket watch I bought my wife. It never worked, but it was beautiful. So we set it to the time our son was born and put it in a frame. Silly gifts, especially if they are a little left of field can look great in a frame, as long as they mean something to you. Their beauty is deeper then. My wife always wanted a bubble car, so I bought her a tiny model of one, that's in a frame too. The nice thing about how. you have done your frame is that you can keep changing it. The plants against the black look good, ferns can look especially good in this sort of setting (and make the aire nicer too).

In that case wait until mirror is up don't forget mirror should be in the eye sight directly, otherwise is to high, and then you may not need a horse there. Personally I would frame it with a narrow black matting directly around the photo and then oversized white one around it and finish with one inch plain black frame so that horse is the star in the middle. Then you can find a spot for it.

When you get the mirror you will have better idea, plus IKEA has lots of frames you can bring whole bunch home and return the ones you don't need.

Hi Jas, the mirror is beautiful but a wee to wide, it could be balanced with a very tall vase or a plant pot in blue. It would have to be round since everything else is angular. The plant pot is easier to find and cheaper, you can plant it with a Palm species, they are easy to look after . On the table you need a very large oval blue plate to balance the colour and nothing else. The size I am talking about is 60-70cm long. You can put some fruit in it if it's close to living/dining area. Below is example of the size you need.

Thankyou so much more projects to have fun with. So you suggest I need to remove the pot plant?

Oh, you can leave it there for the time being, just slowly add colour and hight, the pot with a plant should come half way up the mirror . I think horse belongs elsewhere in the house, maybe kids room. Have fun and take time to find the right pieces for your home.

If you are not keen on the previous idea haw about a different floor lamp like this but still get a blue platter

Jesjes my advice is that you don't overthink it or try too hard. You just need to get the balance right which you can do without spending a lot of money. I have a lot of mirrors, all sorts and consoles and lamps, I love lamps. Pity you don't have a power point there or I'd suggest a round lamp base, as large as symmetry allows with a great circular shade near the end of the console, it would take the eye away from the mirror and create a more finished area. The same can be achieved with a largish round matte vase in any colour/pattern you like with some black sprayed twigs or something. You might find vases I'm talking about in an op shop, I have a couple of unusual ones from the 70's and I get a lot of favourable comments. Then you could reframe the horse, I think a fine black frame would be lovely and it could still go on the console, add a horseshoe and the consoles done! You don't really need to add a horseshoe but it would start a lot of conversations lol. The current plant needs to be moved. Good hunting, have fun!
