Hi there, You might try and change the colour of your bulbs if it's the artificial light causing the colour distortion. Ie they usually do a warm white or a cool white in bulbs so it's worth trying that first. If it's natural light causing it then accessory wise you could go with any colour. Red, hot pink & even a rich cobalt blue (mostly warm tones) would brighten it up a bit.

Well 6 years have flown by and I still have a door dilemma! We have decorated the hall/stairs/landing and replaced the cloakroom and WC door with oak ledge and brace doors to match upstairs as advised on here. We still detest the white Georgian looking doors which don't match anything else in the house but don't want a solid ledge and brace as it would make an already dark hallway even darker. Could anyone suggest an oak glazed style door and handle that would tie in with the ledge and brace please? Thanking you all in advance.

I adore picture rails (only original period features though) ...especially with picures hanging off them. lovely. if you do remove them it usually brings the plaster off and would have to be skimmed as you can't get the walls flush with just polyfiller

An electric towel radiator would be a great option for drying clothes. I would recommend going with something with plenty of surface area to increase drying space and heat output. It might be easier to dry clothes on a wide and lower design model like our Shorty model (as pictured), rather than a tall thin one (especially if you are trying to get the kids to help!). All of our ladder-style towel radiators are available in electric versions. I would also recommend a ceiling suspended clothes airer or "creel" as we call them in Yorkshire. We have one at home and it is invaluable in the winter.
