What would you do with this room?
Comments (38)I was going to comment but Amber done it all for me (Amber rearrange my tiny room plz.) This room has so much scope and basically just needs key pieces already there to be placed better. I agree with curtains longer poles let them FREE no tie backs get closer with your seating for conversation areas plz lose little rug in front of harth. Group some of your ornaments so not so granny looking. A few plants and flowers to give the room life. Take care hanging pictures on walls they need to be hung straight with thought to viewing height if too small as some are group them for more impact. Get a large picture or mirror over fireplace they are not expensive one that reflects what you love. Keep all the vintage toys especially old horse he's great adds charm and old car lovely. I would repaint but wait till furniture rearranged then sit back in there with light flooding in from your beautiful windows and see what colours the natural light loves then decide. Well I was there with you for a moment :) Beautiful room and great pieces just need sorting have fun...See MoreWhat would you do with the oak panels in my dark hall?
Comments (51)We have the same type of panelling in our hall and it was oak the same as yours with an oak floor. It just started to feel quite dark and drab but we hesitated to to do anything for fear of messing it up. In the end we painted all the panelling in Farrows French grey, left the doors and floors wood and painted the sides of our staircase and the spindles in Farrows clunch but left the newel posts and the bannister rail as wood - looks like a different hallway - I have never regretted painting it...See MoreRoom Tetris!

Comments (4)Hi Sarah! It's definitely a decent sized house with plenty of space to play with. It looks like it may originally have been a smaller 3-bed semi that's had a wrap around extension built. Sadly it's quite typical to see this done not so well. But it can definitely be improved. The upstairs can be altered by adding in circulation or moving the stairs, depending on how many and what size bedrooms and other rooms you want to have. Essentially it looks like the large dressing room acts as an upstairs hall space for circulation really. My recommendation if you are to buy it is to live in it for a few months, ideal 6-12 months, before starting your redesign. This will really help you to identify all the things you want to change about it and help you get it right for you.
