Like the look and feel for the room.

6 years ago

I like the look and feel for the room. Is this for a drawing room or day room? I like the chair, is it Natuzzo? I also like the lamp - may I ask where is that from, please? Thank you.

Hi. You can either lay them horizontally or diagonally to make the room feel wider but yes not vertically. The best thing to do is go for wide planks rather than strips of wood so anything over 5-6 inches wide. You can also try painting the ends of the room a darker or warmer shade than the longer ŵalls to correct the proportions. I would also bring furniture into the middle of the room rather than put everything against the walls

The biggest problem with this question is that it's all so deeply subjective. That said, I used to live in an ex-council maisonette in London, and the way I dealt with it was painting all of the walls in bright colours. I had turquoise in the sitting room, yellow hallway and stairs, a pink bedroom, a lime green loo... but I tied it all together by painting the skirting boards and coving throughout the property in bright matt white. The skirting and coving was very simple and had been put in retrospectively (albeit not by me) - in fact I think the coving was made of some sort of polystyrene, so I imagine it was incredibly cheap, although it didn't look it - and I think it made a huge difference. So I'd certainly consider adding that, as it makes the room look more "finished" instead of the cheap standard that council flats usually aim for. For me, this was transformative. As I say - it's so subjective. But although it's undeniably a faff to paint a room, remember that it's also cheaper than buying new furniture, and easier to replace and start again! For what it's worth, I now rent out that flat and recently had it painted in a neutral off-white colour, with new grey carpets. It looks smart, but not nearly so characterful as it previously did. Like I say: subjective. But the important thing, to me, is walking into a place and it immediately feeling like home. Be brave and paint those walls ;)

I think the Pinterest Instagram thing is a factor. It's easy to miss other options and there are so many of them, not to mention that in a year the dark blue thing will have passed and have been taken over by something else, possibly green. I think the most important thing is what colour sofas you get as you will probably have them for a long time. I like Minnie's idea of purple browns, and or browny pinks. So versatile and they would go with lots of things. Orange and violet (or burnt orange, cognacs etc and almost browny warm violets) are beautiful together and if they are muted look great with flashes of more saturated smaller items.

I'd paint it white first and then test the colour out on the wall. Red is really difficult to get rid of. I've also been thinking about what you said, that you didn't want to walk into the room and be faced with the closed corner of a corner sofa. So I've tried to give you a visual again. It would look like this... (if you went for a light coloured one)
