This is part of the design of the house. It is a decorative stone lintel that has been painted the same colour as the window. Th house dates from 1820 and it was a typical Georgian / Regency detail. Hope this helps.

I'm loving all the advice, suggestions and photos. Thanks everyone! Finding it really helpful. The ceiling must remain white because I don't want to have to paint it again. Hellish job! I really like the idea of painting the rail and skirting boards the same as the wall. Would I use eggshell for the skirtings or a matt varnish over emulsion? Suppose either would do the job? Like the idea of using a lighter shade of the wall colour above the rail. I think the white scheme looks super smart, but I might try the colour and see how it looks. Using colour in that space really appeals to me. The wallpaper idea has worked well in our bedroom, it makes the room feel cosy and personal. But, it might be too much for our lounge, which is a much bigger room with a lot going on already. The lounge window faces east so very light at one end, and very dark at the other. It's a cool room during the day, but cosy in the evening with fire lit. If using the wallpaper idea, give some careful thought to your choice of pattern. The size and repeat. It's got to work in a very short area. Would love to see pics if anyone does it though!

I have a small extension. Project managed and used different suppliers. The windows were fitted and then the external walls were rendered by a different company. The render has a bell /stop drip but behind this I can still see the foam used by the window company so am not sure how to finish this off. Should it not have been part of the render? My boyfriend says just paint it black but I do not agree and think it needs to be finished/sealed properly. Does anyone know the best way for me to rectify this? Which trade to get in to do it if it's not a DIY job? Many thanks in advance. Jenny

Looks like the majority is for window and my partner really wants one so just got to decide on size, love the photo and given the inspiration to sort that area out, we are replacing the paving slabs and won't go all the way to the wall so can plant some shrubs and maybe even a small tree to help make it look prettier, thanks for all comments, great forum as usual - onto my next dilemma which will be posting soon, many thanks all for taking time to reply, Lawrence
