Blinds over blinds?
Comments (3)Hiya, Definitely go for the layered look - it's an effect lots of our customers favour and you get the best of both worlds. A Roman blind will create a really cosy feel like you say, and as Bagpuss mentions, picking up on the purple would be a really lovely look. You could also go for a pop of the lime green you've used as an accent colour, for an alternative modern look? Good luck with your search - it's a lovely light room, and I'm sure it will look stunning! Zoe...See MoreNeed help with my country living room.
Comments (5)Hi, my wife used all of those colours last year to re-vamp our cottage lounge. She too loves Abraham Moon and had our curtains made out of the Pistachio wool. She also made all the cushion covers, and collected a load of samples including the 'spot' fabric, then sewed them all together to re-cover the foot stool. We love the colours that you have picked, as they're the same as ours.! One thing i've noticed is that in your lounge the focal point is the T.V. Being so large, and right next to the other focal point, which in my opinion should be the Fireplace, is that it dwarfs it. The fireplace is very large, and the fire is quite small. If you build up the fireplace from the bottom using the same brick and make the opening smaller, reduce the size of the pipe and move the fire up, it will help to balance the space. You could then paint behind the fire, colour matching one of your favourite Moon fabrics, ( i chose pistachio in the example ), This will then darken the background a little and make the fire stand out further. The other thing is that you have lots of different styles of furniture and different wood tones. Maybe darken the Mantel to match the T.V Unit, this will help things start to blend. You could also stain the coffee table to match. The sofa needs to get warmed up, so Tartain and Plaid Moon cushions, with a few plain Pistachio to match the Fireplace and Plain Pistachio Curtains. Take out all of the silver metal it makes the room colder. Add back in wooden photo frames, wooden lamp stands and warm lampshades to co-ordinate. Last but not least, break up the area with a nice plush rug! Sorry about my rubbish 'photo shopping', - Bottom pic, but hopefully you'll get the idea....See MoreLiving room curtains
Comments (10)Hi Marie. I'd go for grey and white patterned curtains. Add the texture with a throw over the arm of one sofa and then a different texture for another cushion in each sofa. Perhaps break up the grey and yellow with a plant or 2. If you want to add another colour for accessories purple will work well. Perhaps a couple of slim wooden side tables next to the sofas for lamps? The room looks great but if you're keeping it predominantly grey then I would bring in as much texture where you can...See MoreAdvice - ensure blinds/curtains/shutters
Comments (4)Hi Jenny, We have a range of blinds that you might be interested. Please take a look at our website for some ideas and inspiration, particularly our gallery page. One thing to bare in mind is that the price of shutters can be quite high so if you are looking to save some money, consider blinds for your kitchen and master bedroom windows. White wood venetian blinds can achieve a similar effect to shutters. If you are looking to create privacy without blocking all the light, you may wish to consider sunscreen roller blinds. For bedrooms, we would recommend blackout roller blinds to block the light effectively. You can always team them with curtains for a softer look.

6 years agoI'd go for a cream / pale beige - Just been having a look on 24/7 blinds where we got ours from - Went with the wide tape ones, they look a little 'shutteresque'. I thought the 'Driftwood' went with your colour scheme:- Driftwood colour blinds There are lots of other cream / oyster etc. You might be better off getting samples to compare to the wallpaper as you really need to match it to that, I would have thought, if you want to keep it light.
However, you could also match to the floor and the doors, it'll look great!
