To paint or not to paint...
Comments (26)Just to repeat what a couple of others have said. The cabinet is in great condition and a good colour. perhaps change the knobs for a very simple small aged brass or even a dark bronze button type. Change the lamp as it is too big for the unit, the shade is pressing against the wall, (it could work well on a side table by a sofa perhaps). Exchange it for a lamp with some brass incorporated into it (very popular and in most decor stores now) and it could look lovely. the difference between painting or leaving the unit, depends on the final look you are going for. If you want a more classic feel. Don't Paint, go with the above suggestion. If you want more quirky as some of your accessories suggest, Then Paint and adorn with crazy abandon! Happy days!...See MorePaint or not to paint, or HOW to paint?

Comments (20)You could always paint the wall behind in F & B Elephants Breath to compliment your carpet, sofa and curtains (like the picture) and paint the wood in a soft white like Pointing F &B. Have you considered painting the other furniture or having it sprayed professionally -it gives it a really hard wearing finish and it would completely update the room. You could then choose a white ornate mirror or maybe a gold as you have brass on your fire surround. The gold star burst mirrors look stunning if you like that sort of look....See MoreTo paint or not to paint....
Comments (8)I think the walls will look super. I would also paint the radiator to match. I would probably paint the ceiling a pale grey to help the white coving stand out. And personally I would choose a more neutral bed because it’s inexpensive to change a wall color or bedding if you later fancy a change- but a bright colored upholstered bed is going to tie you in to certain looks only...See More
