Blank canvas apartment in new development bought to life with colour
When we first set foot in this newly developed apartment our client asked us to turn the 'bland and uninspiring' space but into an unashamedly feminine and elegant flat with a playful joy de vivre, perfect for relaxing after a long day working in the City and hosting intimate suppers with friends.

Help need in the Bedroon
Comments (23)I’ve just had a think about this. Bearing in mind, a standard UK king size mattress is 150x200... or really by converting exactly 5 feet into metric, it's 152.4, a standard King Size mattress would be 7.5 cm smaller than the frame, which means by placing it central to the slatted base, I would have +/- 3.5 cm gap at each side. Also, a mattress is never a square block, it has got its roundness, so allegedly, when considering you also place a mattress protector and the base sheet, the gap is most likely reduced further. So if I were to buy a ‘standard’ King Size mattress, I could use it – given the weight of the mattresses, I don’t think it is going to move around. A 5' mattress would allow me to tuck the duvet at foot-end as well as at the sides, or I could show off the frame. And of course, I’d find it easier to change the bed linen. Alternatively, the duvet normally overhangs at the sides of the bed, so the gap would be hidden from sight anyway. Technically, I can’t see anything stopping me from doing it. Also, due to the design of the bed, the mattress would be is partly inset into the frame, so the gap would only be seen (in terms of the slatted base), if looking at the bed from above, which I’d never do. Is this 'logical' thinking, or might I have missed something ?...See MoreMy first house needs new furniture
Comments (37)Thanks guys. Comfort has been important to us. One of the reasons I like most leather sofas is that they can be quite firm and supportive. I hate sinking into a sofa and then struggling to get out. Wife likes fabric because it's more comfortable - she finds leather very cold in winter for example. But we both agree on the firmness so we have been trying out sofas. The wallpaper is generally very light - it doesn't come across as overpowering in real life. It's certainly more interesting than plain white/magnolia/cream walls. We both struggle with artistic vision so ideas and thoughts are what we both need to help decide. The aim was to have light/plain furniture and then have bright or contrasting colours for cushions, curtains and lampshades for example. Something to contrast with the "plain" decor....See Morenew sofas - need help with colour scheme
Comments (29)keep the frieze white, I know that it might be tempting to paint it to go, but as it is likely an original feature, and was originaly white, plaster friezes should just stay white. not briliant white dulux, like an art gallery but a lovely natural white, like shirting from the little greene paint co. UNless you are painting them with golds etc in some palace I fell they always look much better white. and try not to get too much contrast in your paints, look for a pinky greys , lilac shadow from sanderson paints, mirage from the little green paint company , and fig greyt from zoffany are all examples of greys that hit a pinky tone, but GET SAMPLES they are invaluable for the seeing the nuances of shade and sublteties that only the light in your room will pick up. i can send you paint charts if ytou need them karly...See Morecolour scheme help!
Comments (17)I think it depends what your vibe is. Some people like saturated clean vibrant colours, some people (like myself) prefer muted earthy colours and lots of texture. I would also think about colour temperature. White walls, emerald green and grey may appear quite cool (temp) as a scheme, and as Esma pointed out, the value contrast between the curtains and wall will be very dominant. Its really difficult when you only have tiny samples, the carpet looks lovely, but it is hard to see what 'colour' it will appear when it's over a whole area. I am definitely with Beano about mustard and amber in terms of going with grey. Here are some images which show deep cool greens with white and amber (which includes wood). To me, the cognac, amber, tan leather (or whatever we call it) looks fab with white and lends a lovely mellow 70's vibe to the rooms. In the last image the walls aren't white and that lends a bit more warmth. Of course, white walls in a south facing room may look the same....See More
