Architect wants more money after we have paid him
Comments (10)Sounds like he is trying (in my opinion quite rightly) to reopen conversations about fees. It sounds like you had an agreement about providing plans and he provided them and you settled his bill. You have gone back and asked for additional services and it sounds like he may have initially made a goodwill gesture and offered some advice for free but you expect him to prepare for this meeting and attend the meeting thereby offering his professional expertise and local insight. With travel time and time spent in discussion with yourselves there is likely several hours work. If he is unable to charge you for this he would be much better allocating his time to other fee paying clients. I say start a dialogue, make sure you have contracted him for what you immediately need him to do and open discussions about where else he might envisage his expertise may be useful to you- it may be that his contacts, or his project management experience or his influence to expedite matters might save you money long term....See Morewant wet room but don't want room getting wet!
Comments (6)I must admit I would go for a screen similar to that shown in the 2nd pic by man about the house. In terms of making it feel more spacious then larger tiles typically work with the tiles run horizontally to the long walls on the floor and then horizontal on the walls. You could keep walls and floors the same or go for something different on the walls but with little contrast. I'd have a really large mirror on one of the long walls. A floating trough style vanity rather than floor standing. I'd also go for the shower head on either long wall so you can have a niche for shampoo etc on the end wall...See MoreI want a really unique, colourful feel to my new villa!
Comments (3)Do you have any pictures? We would need to know a little bit more about the space? If you were our customer for the design I would also want to know a little more about you and your requirements for the space. For colour it really depends what light you have in the space? What the rooms are used for? What is in the rooms? ..The style and furnishings. Do you have any pictures that may help :) There are lots of unique ways you can get colour into a space and combinations of colour that you can use for impact. You could always consider working with a designer to get something unique to you and the space....See MoreOpen plan house and I want to add colour but make it look adult
Comments (1)Probably the best thing to do would be post some pics up of your space along with any furniture your planning on putting in and people will give your advice from there :-)...See More

6 years agoThe bedside table is amazing, I love the wallpaper on the back!
You've probably seen these already, but might be helpful. You could switch the ways the colours are on the bedside table in this photo, so have a grey lampshade:

6 years agoLove the wallpaper! I agree less is more. I'd start with 3 things and If it needs more add a couple of other pieces. It would be good to see pics of the room to see what else is in there stylewise however I'd add navy. The navy quilt and mustard cushion are from bedeckhome (1/2 price ATM!). As you've only got one bedside table I'd add a floor lamp the other side if there's room. I love the brass one in the pic, both John Lewis and French connection have similar ones. The navy velvet throw is from the French bedroom company and the art is from Attiko art

6 years agoThank you everyone for your comments/ideas. @minnie101 Sorry I didn't post both I do have two bedside tables but finished the one posted first to give me some motivation (all that sanding is way overrated-but so worth it). I'm in the process of adding skirting to ceiling mirrors on either side of the bed with a very tall fabric headboard in middle the walls are a silver to mid Grey which came out very well. I've attached an in progress picture but still sourcing a roman blind which will be Grey as the main colour with mustard edge down both sides. Not too sure about a blind/curtain combo? I will also be adding an armchair similar to the one attached and also plan to add a greyish piece is art to the opposite wall for balance. Don't have the budget to change the artex ceiling unfortunately yuck!. The fabric hanging off the bed is for the headboard. Bold choice I know, but hope it turns out well.

Another way to get some of the yellow in the room is using a yellow wallpaper to line the back of a shelving unit (if you've got one in the room).
Could even try a yellow and grey wallpaper if you want to tie both colours together.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHello Patrina,
Mustard or Yellow are fantastic colours and very uplifting. An excellent choice!
Consider the possibility that you immerse yourself in the COLOUR... bathe in the dramatic and then team it with something unexpected. So the accent is deliberate rather than just merely cautious. Another great way to use colour is to have gradients of the desired tone... It creates interest and allows you to "texturise" the walls... Like this and the colour is deliberate and dramatic it throws caution to the wind and offers the unexpected- my design for a private members club called, what else but... "The Amber Nectar" :))

6 years agoAK yes I did spend hours just me and my little mouse sander but so worth it. The paint is oil and is called Dulux deep Delhi Bazaar 3 which I got mixed in-store. Lots of hours a primer coat and three patiently applied coats of mustard later and I am glad I put the effort in.
