Need help for my enlarged bedroom - Part One
Comments (25)Hi Denise I have just ordered shutters for my house for all the front windows which is costing around £1000 and roughly 8 or 9 square metres I'd estimate. However this is for DIY install shutters from the California Shutter company who have been recommended by a friend who uses them regularly, they aren't arriving until first week of December so I can't vouch how easy they are to fit yet!. They're prices start at £125 sqm in the sale at the moment. http://www.californiashutters.co.uk/ Take a look at Nina Campbell's Pagoda Garden fabric it's similar to your original accent fabric in the photo, although I don't have a sample to hand just now. It looks as though it has the stronger bluer tone you need to stand up to your walls. http://shop.ninacampbell.com/nina-campbell-fabric/autumn-2006/pagoda-garden.html I recommend a sample of a velvet or woven chenille for your footstool such as Osborne and Little's Peregrina F6350-07 or Canaletto F6142-10. These are contract fabrics suitable for upholstery which I can supply. Also Osborne and Little's domestic fabric Brehon Linens in F6520-20 is really gorgeous with lots of blue tones in which I feel would complement your scheme. Finally Sabi Addo F6272-08 is a really luxey light reflecting velvet and Rondelle Takarshi pictured here: http://www.osborneandlittle.com/products-and-collections/fabric/autumn2012/rondelle/tarkashi?id=2c149a3fd57045fd971eb480ac6a2b06 is a beautiful cut velvet for amazing cushions or throws if you are looking for that extra wow factor! If the blues become to silvery or yellowy you could always add in a neutral colour as I have done in my Coastal Scheme if you look on my profile. Just ask if you need to know any fabrics you see on the pictures. Hope this helps! PS I also supply Nina Campbell fabrics so if you need samples quickly please contact me rachel@spiniverdesign.com or 01637 621038 Best of luck I know how frustrating it can be!

Comments (11)Hiya, 3 Roman blinds sound like a great idea. They're a great way to make a feature of a bay window. You could combine this with dress curtains, or alternatively, Roman blinds look stunning on their own. You might even like to consider Roller blinds. Alternatively, as you speak about privacy, a blind with slats is also a smart choice. Wooden blinds are rustic and stylish, while shutters are timeless. If you'd like to read more about what's available to you, take a look at our bay window blog for loads of helpful advice - http://www.hillarys.co.uk/inspiration/2014/03/how-to-dress-your-breath-taking-bay-window/ Hope that helps, Zoe...See MoreAny more ideas anyone?
Comments (1)Love these colours so much! A nice vertical anthracite designer radiator would go great with this colour scheme - but then we would say that! http://www.bestheating.com/radiators/designer-radiators/anthracite-designer-radiators/l/filter-style:vertical-designer-radiator.html They are becoming ever more popular in kitchens because of their space-saving quality, and they are so much more of a design accessory these days too! I think that you could pair the blinds and curtains with some coloured under-cabinet LED lights that help to accentuate the colour scheme - but radiators are our thing really, so we would only be really safe recommending the verts! Good luck, cos it appears to be a very exciting project....See MoreRoman blind positioning
Comments (8)Sorry for the late reply - busy run up to Christmas! Thank you for all your comments & advice. Interesting to see the different pictures - not only for heights but also different fabrics for blinds & curtains within the same room - I was going to match mine. I'm going to go with the blind outside the recess & match height with curtains. However, I can now see that in my hallway a recessed blind would look best. Thanks again....See MoreSonia
