Hi Stuart, just saw you posted this - how'd this project go? Have any photos of the final space to share?

Hi stuart290882, I'm assuming the main entrance to the room is located on the bottom of the plan, and it steps down 20 cm towards the larger room at the top with the door on the left able to access to the backyard. The proposed plan involves moving the door on the left towards the top of the plan, and leveling the floor as much as possible right until the repositioned door. The little room of 61x131cm could be opened to create more counter space for the sink and cooktop, while the washer, dryer, and fridge can be located on the wall next to the boiler. There is a space for a small eating counter when you walk in. Hope it works for you.

I love soft blues and greens going towards the grey unsaturated type colours with red brick. If the red is more towards an orange then the greens work better and if more towards the pink/purple then blues look great. I'm getting so bored of dark grey doors and windows! Be brave and use some colour!

I take it that you love these curtains as you want to base your entire scheme around them. Firstly as mentioned in previous comments they are too short, you can extend them by adding a solid colour material in the brown or reds found in the curtains, to make them floor length. You could also add the material to the leading edge of the curtains, to make the extension look less as an afterthought. Add a blind either in the same colour as the wall or pick one from the curtains. You pull the blind down rather than pull the curtains, as the curtains would block the radiator. Chose a thermal blind if you are worried about cold from the window or a thinner blind that will let light through if privacy is the issue. When choosing a sofa go for a neutral colour. Choose a good quality sofa that you sit comfortably in. A sofa is expensive and usually has to last several redecorations and reinventions of a room. A neutral colour would go with many different schemes and you would use cushions to dress up the sofa and tie in with the theme/ colour of the room. I would go with a dark cream (or soft brown) sofa as the room generally has warm colours. Grey can be cold and would detract from the room. (If you have found the perfect grey sofa - change the curtains…) The blue cushions don’t go well. You could choose green cushions as they are on the opposite side of the colour wheel, which would be quite energetic as they are contrasting, make sure you get the right green - if it doesn’t work - return it. It could be easier to choose a lighter or darker versions of the colours you have, which makes it calmer. If you choose similar colours different textures will make it interesting. Finally I would paint the walls to match the beige in the curtains (including the radiator to make it “disappear”), which would tie in better. It could initially seem dark, but wait to make final judgment until the room has been completely painted. Paint and cushions are an inexpensive way to update a room especially if other furniture don’t make huge statements.
