Hi Laura . For the floor lamp if you can move the chair out a little I'd go for a swing arm lamp. Are you after a gallery wall? If so I'd try something like this but the opposite way round, you can obviously use pictures rather than frames. Alternatively you could try moving the tv unit to the left so the tv is off centre. I think you've only just had the tv done and I hope you don't mind me saying but I think it looks a little high visually and for viewing position? (Art may also not look quite right if hung above). Is it possible to lower it? If it is a gallery wall then try laying out bits of paper on the floor to see what works for you

This discussion neglects the beam angle of the bulb in the fixture. These can vary from about 15 degrees to around 50 degrees. Additionally, tilting a Gimbel fixture does not necessarily cut off light as the beam is a three-dimensional paraboloid for which the math is much more complex than this simplistic tangent formula. The guidelines here will put you in the ballpark however. Unfortunately many "lighting experts" don't really know lighting. RPI (Rennselaer Polytechnic) has a lighting division with good information on line for those interested. I attended their one-day course prior to designing our own lighting for a kitchen renovation. The course was very helpful.

Gerty I got my rug from John Lewis, but there are some great online rug sellers, just check reviews first and pay by Paypal, just in case! Don’t forget if rug is bought online, and therefore unseen, you can return it within 30 days as your Distance Selling Rights. I would check their Returns Policy first to ensure they are correct and in line with the law.

Hi Farah - you can add more mustard through accessories, cushions, throws. Also I would add some artwork on the walls where there is a nod to mustard/yellow. As an observation the room looks like it could do with side tables, plants and some styling pieces. Hope that helps

Great, I'm glad you can. That could work. Have ŷou also thought about assymetrical shelves? They don't seem to close the room in as much or perhaps it's because the shelves you've pictured are wide and look a little deeper?

Hi Laura,

Your living room is beautifully decorated, can I offer a slightly different suggestion. You could add artwork on another wall or further along the wall or propped up on the shelf above as shown in your shelving images. I agree with Minnie I think your TV would look better lowered because it is the central focus and if it was lower down it wouldn't be the main focal point of the room.

I think it would be a good idea to free up floor space by not adding a floor light and adding either 2 wall lights either side of the TV as shown in the 1st + 2nd images or one statement wall light in the corner as shown in the 3rd image below.

I hope that helps you, your living room is lovely anything you do will make it even nicer.

Thanks,

Susan
