Had some fab ideas here re my new dining set and plumped for this lovely round table and 10 chairs. Now I'm stuck for ideas to really glam up this room and bring it all together. Thinking of changing the blinds and the walls need something too..feature wall? Mirror? Curtains? What do you think ? All the walls are bare except for the picture you can see .

7 years agoHi. Your blinds look nice if you're after a glam look and I'm not sure curtains will hang properly with the radiator? I like this collection of bronze and silver mirrors from Notre monde to introduce a slightly darker accent on the wall. I can't make out what's next to the window but I think a cocktail table accessorised with some vintage and modern decanters and glasses would look fantastic. I'd add a rug under the table, something similar in tone to the floor perhaps with a slight pattern. It looks as if a rectangular rug may work better for the room. Faux flowers on top of the table, I like Oka but make sure to add some green foliage to the display too. Would be good to see other pics of the room to see what space there is though

Comments (17)Hi there, I'm wondering how you're getting on?!! How about a Bali pod by the sofa arm with the throw on? You could have a bespoke piece to add interest and colour ....and also allow you to sit comfortably in the sofa with a drink close by (rather than having to reach to the coffee table every time you want a sip!). This is the sort of thing I'm thinking.....our pods come in 7 shapes, 5 core fabrics and loads of colours ...or you can use your own fabric, so you can make quite a personalised statement!! I've attached a link to an example of a swatch which would go with your scheme...Good luck with all your plans! http://mellowduck.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/SandringhamCamel600x600-138x138.jpg...See Moreliving room finishing touches
Comments (6)Hi - I would suggest you add a rug in the centre something to draw the eye into the centre of the room and add a somewhat focal point. The other thing you can do is to add a large picture on top of the fireplace to again draw the focal point to the centre. On the floor lamp - I agree to replace within something in keeping with your current style and sticking to the wood texture. I would also add some plants even if they are faux, it will add a bit more life and style to the room. I've picked up the accent colour from your cushions and used that to pick a similar coloured rug just to give you an idea: https://www.habitat.co.uk/grid-medium-grey-and-yellow-geometric-wool-rug-140-x-200cm-220229 comes in different colours as well https://www.habitat.co.uk/tripod-ash-wooden-tripod-floor-lamp-with-white-shade-252742...See MoreLiving Room - Finishing Touches
Comments (35)Catching up on this thread! Thanks for all the replies. Always really good advice. @petersmummy thanks! Yeah I'm maybe overthinking what to put on the table haha. Feels like the consensus is to put a rug under the table. @Resh Thanks! Different opinions are always welcome :) I think you are probably right. It is wood overload. I've went back and forth a few times on painting the windows and panels. I think I ultimately will paint it white to brighten the room, freshen the finish and match the skirting and door. It's just difficult to bring myself to paint over it. Complementing with a different colour could be tricky I think. I'm not so keen on painting the floor or the table. The floor is the same in all the other rooms so I think that keeps things cohesive. The top of the table needs refinished so I could choose a different wood stain. Your home looks amazing!! It's great! I do actually like colour I'm just not sure how to use it haha. @minnie101 wow that was a while ago! But I got some great advice from you and others that I eventually got round to doing. Thanks for your help! :) I remember how it looked when I first went to view the place. I think its going in the right direction thanks to the help from you guys! (attached some photos) Thanks for the photoshop pictures! They are really helpful to see how it might look. Yeah I think there probably is room for a circular or oval rug. The ceiling light I will likely replace with one of the suggestions above - a brass mobile/sputnik style chandelier. Those wall lamps are pretty awesome! They look great. Would have to be fitted fairly high so people can still use the space behind the sofa to walk to the dining area. I don't have much in the way of art so far. I have a print of this on the left hand side of the fireplace. Even though it is a fair size it looks a little small on the wall to me next to the surround and large mirror. I'll check that site out thanks. Vases look awesome! I'll give that a go....See MoreEnsuite shower room finishing touches
Comments (2)Good afternoon Katie, Thank you for sharing. You could add a couple more matching drop lights with low luminosity bulbs at a variety of heights to anchor the sink area and create a natural cluster. This can easily link into the same power as your existing lights. It is easy to change the pendants for something with more of a shade if you prefer. You could move the round wall hung plant above and to the right of the mirror to echo the circular shape naturally, filling sanding and painting up any holes. You could also add a blind to the left hand window, even if you do not need it, a blind which does not block the light would soften the window. Many thanks, Sophie Interior Designer Ellen Utley Interiors https://ellenutleyinteriors.co.uk...See Moreminnie101

7 years agoThank you both for your comments - love that cart and the mirror ideas ! What kind of tones should I go for given the table is walnut and chairs part chrome? Here are more photos so you can see space is limited
