I would start with her bedroom, that's the area she wil rest. Keep it neutral and and peaceful. Make the curtains cheerful that will be the first thing she'll see when she wakes up. A four feet bed will be comfortable for her and find out how much it will cost to raise the bed ...at a certain age it is more comfortable to get in and out of. Table lamps which by a touch will light up a big alarm clock... Older people always want to know the time! Two bedside tables. Soft carpet for her feet and a big collage on the wall with photos of her family. I would get rid of the wardrobe is is so huge and if you look on your local ebay and put you postcode in you will be able to get a good bargain. Look for a comfy chair too with a floorlight for reading. If space a nice little table (local ebay) will make it complete. Your mum prefers her wall painted but again a roll of cheerful wallpaper for one wall in her bedroom will make it special for her. Try to get rid of all the clutter like those two shopping trolleys perhaps in a cupboard in the hall? I have done a lot of houses up on a shoestring and it is a challenge but can be so satisfying. One thing I have learnt ....ALWAYS finish one room completely before going on to the next room. It helps when you feel a bit down about the project and one look in the finished room gives one a big boost to continue!!! Good Luck.

Tip 1: Make sure the air quality in the basement is good, so air it during the day for 10 mins or so. Use a ambi pur plug in diffuser. The lavender ones smells strong and last the longest. You want people to enjoy the smell as they come in - it is inviting. Tip 2: The quality of light needs improving to invite as much natural light as possible. It looks like you have blind therefore some natural light comes in during the day so leave the blind completely open during daylight and close them as soon as it gets dark. I have blinds but also curtains because in winter it keeps the cold of the window coming in, in summer it keeps the light out when you watch TV and it makes a room feels homey. Curtains don't have to be expensive. Add lush plants and look after them very well. If you don't have a green finger buy hardy plants but the foliage needs to go up (not droopy downwards), the leafs should be rounded or soft (peace Lilly) - No spiky plants indoors (they are good guardians for outside window sills only). Retain the energy of the room by placing a round crystal on a red thread hung from the ceiling close to the window (50 cm or so) or just a beautiful chandelier (giving rainbow spectrum light) in the room. Your chi flows very fast from the stairs through the window so you are losing opportunities (if in the north, it is your career opportunities, in the SE it would be your wealth etc). Tip 3: For colors I would find what compass direction your window is facing to choose the color for the curtains as follows: North: silver, white, gold, blue, black (negative: pink, brown or yellow) South: reds, pinks, greens (negative: earthy colors like skin tone, aquatic colors). East and South east: blues, greens, browns. (negative: grey, silver, gold) West and N. West: silver, white and gold, pink, yellow, brown, metallic colors (avoid: reds, orange, blue, black. N. East and S. West: love colors, earth orange, reds, for S. west. green, earth brown, (avoid wooden tone of browns, wooden tones of yellow, metallic colors like grey, silver or white). Remember though too much of the same colors will make you a dull person. Pink can be used anywhere by the way. You don't have to change your sofa - if the wrong color, compensate by putting a touch of the right color with cushions, carpet, throw. I don't recommend leather sofas, especially not a red one or you will have problems at work. Position the furniture to enhance conversation in a kind of circle, pentagon shape. So add two more seats (always even number preferably). Put the table in the middle of the carpet when you finish using it. The energy flow needs to go around everywhere. Get organised and put homework, papers in a box a pretty one which you can use as a table for a nice oval bowl in which you can keep your remotes in. Don't stick sofas or furniture in corners. Add a tall Halogen lamp (nearest to natural sun light) in the corner between the wall and sofa . Choose a shade fit for the compass direction. Contrast a bit to have yin (calming energy ) and yang (vibrant energy). TV should not be the focus of the room - conversation is. Don't make it central. Tip 4: Carpet the stairs - expensive underlay, shiny carpet or two tones carpet to keep it interesting and put a safety panel wood or glass Do not go for stripes (encourages arguments). A lush plant at the bottom of the stairs to keep the energy going to fast. Put a light under the stairs, have an office there for example. Tip 5: Add romance - Place a pair in the S. West for love. Place candles in the South or bright lamp. Where you are dining put on the table a bowl of fruit and a mirror on the wall reflecting the table with the fruit. This is to represent abundance/wealth. The mirror needs to be framed and flush to the wall. A mirror needs to always reflect something nice. If you reflect paperwork you will have more work. Tips 6: Houzz has thousands of living rooms/dining room - get inspired. Velvet, throws add luxury, good lighting adds warmth, a whisper carpet in the right tone would be lovely. Jan will bring sales. Tip 7: Canvases are reasonably prices. You have a big room so you can have two or three. Bring nature in with landscape (not sad or lonely), choose inviting, cheery, romantic. The dancing theme on your is good. If you can afford it go for a wall mural with a beautiful scenic image. Trees, beach (open window mural), New York skyline, blossoming pink trees, https://www.transformawall.co.uk/shop/product/atlantic-ocean-coast?cid=181# Tip 8 One of the most important tip is keep the place tidy, keep it spotless and do this often. Cleanliness is next to godliness we say. This also applies to your car and patio. Good energy flow will bring luck. I won't cure you or diseases or make you rich but it will make your dreams come easier to you. Get rid of any clutter. This is the biggest fault to a lot of bad luck in peoples lives. You don't need hundred of socks - 10 should be enough. You don't need 30 dresses, 30 pairs of shoes. Have a few, buy one, get rid of one. Never keep things for just in case I need it. Making room will actually make sure that when you need it you can buy it. Spread good karma, give to the needy. The runner on the table is good - it soften the sharp edges. It may even look like you have a kitchen at the back - all open? No doors? That should give you a start. Places like Wayfair.com or lightinthebox will give you good prices for what you need. Good luck. Val

Hi Sunny, I'm guessing the layout is like this then? Which is why you wanted a 900mm wide shower. I'd actually go with the 900 x 1200 as it's longer and will suit the room better, plus, if the layout is like this, then you have the room for it. Here's a link to all those in that size from Victorian Plumbing, so depends what your style is. Victorian Plumbing. They sell loads, so i'm sure you'll be able to find one that will suit. One thing to watch out for is the size of the basin and toilet. You will be better off with a short projection toilet and don't come out too far with the basin either as the space to exit out of the bath will be lessened. Regards to flooring, tiles etc, that's personal choice. What style do you like, what colours do you like, and most importantly what is your budget for the project?
