I think the curtains are crowding the window and not allowing enough light in. I would go for a more contemporary look and bring the curtains back onto the wall beside the window as there is enough space. A wave curtain design is the perfect for this look. Then you can change cushions maybe the rug and add some other brighter complimentary colours.

I'm feeling pleased to say I have now be later in life been enjoying some of the things I'd love to have, for some time so they don't count for my 'one thing I'm still hoping for..' I love my upmarket induction hob with timer that saves my food from my memory when distracted by a phone call for a chat-length of time; no day goes by without the thrill of pulling open my kitchen's larder cupboard where the contents are so visible and high space is utilised. I agree with ? about having a bidet and have just had one installed and another wish - a walk-in shower Yeah!

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

Thanks so much Angie - what a help you’ve been! I’m so happy I have a name to research now You’re a dear for taking the time to look those up for me. Can I ask, your Money Plant, is it growing the way mine is? I was reading an article that had a photograph. It looked similar to my Money Plant but didn’t actually have a label. It stated that if the plant looked the way my Money Plant did, it was under nourished and stretching to reach the light. It may not have been a Money Plant in the article in the first instance but it made me feel sad that one of my plants may be feeling neglected. Also, are the extra sprouts on the Money Plant removable or is it usually to leave them there. What book would you recommend for a beginner looking to identify my plants? It sounds as if you’ve got a good knowledge of these things! How lovely your plant grew from a little snippet - it’s always so gorgeous to see them grow from something so small. Thanks again Angie, sorry for all the questions but I appreciate your knowledge so much.
