Comments (16)Hi Diana. Re your windows I would look at something like this (dining room pics in link) http://www.drivenbydecor.com/2015/05/window-treatments-tricky-recessed-corner-windows.html 0r have a voile blind inside the recess and the curtains hung outside to give more height to the room. I'd go for a pole that doesn't contrast with the wall colour. Farrow and ball blackened may work for the walls (which way does the room face? I'm assuming some of the pics are a little dark as you didn't have any light behind you when taking the pic?!). Were you planning on dressing the feature window? As you've got cool and warm greys I'd layer them so a warm grey sofa with a cool grey or maybe blue ikat cushion. I'd have seating at right angles to the fire, sofa to the right of the fire with a lamp table closest to the fire and 2 accent chairs opposite, patterned ones might be nice. I'd go for large art over the fire rather than a mirror as you've got the window, perhaps a landscape. In terms of the look you want, perhaps look at velvet for the sofa. Lamps will add cosiness, a driftwood lamp will give the natural look. Add texture for the seating, perhaps a patterned cushion in front of a textured one and a textured throw on the other arm of the sofa. Also use plants and perhaps some faux flowers (I like oka faux hydrangea but it needs to be mixed with foliage). Perhaps a brass glass coffee table to add some warmth with some coffee tables books and the flowers!...See Moreinspiration please
Comments (19)This is lovely sized room with loads of potential! We have just redecorated our living room and I would suggest the following in order of priority: Remove picture rails (this is really fun with a big hammer and wedge!) Skim walls (most likely will be necessary after above) Skim ceiling (you won't regret doing this) Paint walls with brilliant white undercoat Change curtain rail or paint white Paint all woodwork with white gloss paint Paint or ideally hang a new white door and paint frame white Rip up carpet (do you know if it's floorboards underneath?) Sand floorboards and varnish Once these steps are done, I would recommend living in the room for a bit before making any further decisions. It will help with choice of colours and leave breathing room financially. Although, I would highly recommend a Flokati rug, they make a a room look lovely a snug!...See MoreNeed to update 5 year old girl's room inspiration please
Comments (15)I think a very pale aqua paint would look lovely with the pink accessories and the white furniture. It’s one of those colours that looks good as a background against many colours so it would be easy for you to update the room as your daughter gets older. Also I wondered if you can fit the bed against the wall with the headboard in the corner against the wardrobe wall, then the bedside cabinet (then the wardrobe), and put the chest of drawers under the existing butterfly picture, that would give some floor space for playing. You could also add an inexpensive rug. Here’s a picture of wall colour I was thinking of:...See Morewall colour inspiration please
