Houzz is fantastic for ideas. I must confess I also subscribe to 25 beautiful homes which is a great source of inspiration. Having bought all of the interior magazines for a few years I personally find this the best. More often than not, a design is inspired by one piece of furniture or art that you love. Most of my house was inspired by a single image long before we were even thinking about buying a new house .Scale tends to be my issue. I would therefore recommend looking at layouts of furniture to see what comfortably fits before buying anything (cuttings out templates helps). I like symmetry and my house is georgian so it's key but I got so excited about my new large lounge that I bought 2 different sized v large sofas (went in to buy 2 identical) and I am now stuck with the layout. Also, if you are on a strict budget or you are unlikely to redo within a few years, maybe go for a classic style that can be updated with a couple of cheap contemporary items. Paint is also cheap to update but wallpaper not, unless you can do it yourself. New cushions can also update a look cheaply. Don't forget lighting either, it can make a room. Layering different textures and mixing old and new makes a room look more expensive and more as if the room has evolved.

@Laura took the words right from underneath my fingers. I was going to ask the depth and width of the area where the shelves currently are. I've just had a PAX installed and I LOVE IT. My configuration is Two sets of 2 x 100cm wide (236cm H) units with the Harvik doors. I had them shortened as my ceiling didn't allow for the full height hence why I picked the easily hackable Harvik. The easy option is 4 x 75cm units with sliding doors of course. In one of my units, the inside was wallpapered and has a standard shelf which my monitor rests on and a pull out shelf directly below it that I use as a desk. I even have power in there so the cables are neat. the Pax really are an outstanding solution. A word of advice though to avoid extra expense and wasted time, especially if you are having someone install them; check them as soon as they arrive as the units can be damaged Good luck and pictures please :)

Of course, it goes without saying that, if like us, you sell radiators and towel rails and such, we are going to want you to spend your money with us. But there's no obligation and our BTU Calculator is as accurate as they come. It's important to consider a lot of factors when it comes to calculating BTUs, such as wall type, window type, and the insulation above and below the room. But don't for one second think that our BTU calculator doesn't give you an accurate reading. If you put in accurate information, you'll get an accurate result. Why not give it a go? It could at least give you an idea of what you need to look for. http://www.bestheating.com/btu-calculator Good luck finding what you require

The rule I’ve always followed is measure the rail, then you want to buy curtains double the rail width for a full look or 1 1/2 times the rail for a more informal look. This is the overall width for both curtains. Hope that makes sense! Full length curtains should fall just above the floor, unless you want a long “puddle” effect. If they are too long, sometimes it is easier to raise the rail rather than to turn up mountains of fabric! Good luck with your blog.
