Thank you- glad you like it. I try not to give out everything as it really is intellectual property and I designed it for a client quite a few years back now so can't even remember - but- it was published in Homes and Gardens and is on my website under press/ if you go there you can read the article with most of the information you want- alternatively we would be delighted to give a consultation.

How about doing a google search for companies that supply wall murals? Then select an image that resonates with you.... http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/Miles-Davis-All-Stars-The-Best-of-Miles-Davis-Posters_i8433046_.htm Alternatively how about covering the walls in a decoupage of sheet music covered with a layer of varnish to give it sepia tones?

Dear all, Thank you for your very helpful comments! I greatly appreciate it. My partner likes curtains (he always found curtains pretty and they would help with insulation as we have single glazed windows) although I also love the idea of blinds and see how curtains can crowd the place and get a bit lost behind the sofa. I think the idea of oatmeal curtains or blinds with a blue trim would be really lovely and I will definitely look into this. Do you mean a trim running the vertical length of the fabric? We had thin sheer white shades already that you can see now in the pictures. Carolina, it's great advice to make sure to get wider poles so the curtains flank the windows - I think this will make a big difference to open up the room. If we get curtains we would also probably replace the wooden poles with thin chrome poles. Bathroom Eleven, thank you also very much for recommending blue cushions to tie it all together and suggesting we switch the table direction. I followed your advice on both (I had gotten this cushion last week and didn't put it out yet) and I think it looks great! I will look at the links you sent. Thank you all very much again. Beks

Home colour palette

Ah thank-you, yes that would help! The rooms overall are very light, apart from the hall downstairs. The living room has light carpet and mid-grey ophelia sofas from next - I would eventually like to restore the original floor boards but we will have this done at the same time as the original parquet floor in the hallway (so in the next few years). I have alcove shelving and a light wood and metal TV stand - overall nothing too special but the space works for us - just need to get a few finishing touches (shutters, footstool). The other rooms are up for decoration - I'd love to have the dining room white walls with 1 or 2 walls in G&B 1946 paint but I'm worried it will look a bit out of place, as it does now in Sage green (I ended up painting the room on the colour I love and not thinking about how the room would look in the house and how we use it - I don't want to make this mistake again). The dining table and chairs is currently a light wood colour, which I may paint depending how the room ends up and we have a dark solid solid rustic fireplace. The house is mainly used from late afternoon onwards during the week and all day at weekends. I love a more traditional feel but also love the scandi feel (prehaps as it's so light and calming). I really like the idea of having more darker styles in the home but not too much as I think our home suits a much lighter palette (1930s 3-bed semi). All of the woodwork is painted white apart from the original doors which are various shades of light wood and I'm not a huge fan of wallpaper hence thinking about just re-painting all the walls. Should I try to pick a few colours which are present in each room then add additional shades/colours which compliment, in the different rooms? I guess I'm feeling a little lost now I have free-rein (always been in rented houses).

Lovely fireplace, I think it would stand out better with a bold colour on the wall. I have a similar look to you -windows either side of fireplace and I created a fake chimney breast look by masking straight lines down either side of the fireplace and just painting bold there. You have a lot of curtains there taking up floor space... so I don’t think you can do much in terms of furniture unless you want to stand a low dresser in front of them...
