Shall I half tile my hallway?
Comments (18)Hi Kusten, the tiles in my photo are for floors and walls, I think they would work best on the floor in your hallway. If you decided to use them you could paint the walls in a neutral shade to match. They are called Classic Alternatively if you want to half tile your walls you could go for something else like this for example. Boiserie Or you could look at our Inspiration Page for other ideas....See Morewood burning stove ideas in a victorian terrace
Comments (17)Hi Greg, I think mixing contemporary styling with original features works wonderfully. My personal favourite wood burners are the morso stoves (for example the s50). Of course you need to choose one that meets your heating requirements, but the supplier should be able to help with that. If that one (that has the right output) doesn't legally fit in the existing opening, then you have a problem. You could remove the existing fire surround and enlarge the opening, with maybe a contemporary floating shelf above the new opening, or you could choose a smaller stove and then provide supplementary heating through other means. Is there central heating already in the building? If so then a discrete flush panel radiator should be easy to locate somewhere out of the way. Alternatively you could put in an industrial style radiator below the windows (where they are normally most needed): http://www.bisque.co.uk/products/general-radiators/flow-form If you don't have central heating, you could use a black-body infra-red radiator to top up the heating, which is run on electrics, is energy efficient and has other health benefits. For example: http://www.theecostore.co.uk/eco-store/buy-german-herschel-infrared-heating-panel-mirror/ Hope this helps, Kind regards, Erica....See MoreShall i paint the fireplace?
Comments (20)Hello mcpeeple, One thing that you could consider is the square tiles on the hearth.. Someone has put these in to compliment the other green tiles which are original. It might be an idea to look into a piece of slate for the hearth. I wouldn't paint the wood though.. The wood works really well with the green tile. The other thing you could do is lean a really large oversized mirror on the rear wall.. This will give the illusion of more space but also offer the eye another focus in the room... Maybe another small mirror or hang some pictures on the small wall between door and outside. A different pendant and slightly lower and also bring the table into the room a little more.. You may want to consider a small side table or something for one of the alcoves.. Wooden with a marble top could be nice to put the plant on and a lamp.. Something taller or so for the other alcove, to give balance but not symmetry! YES I said it... an interior designer who want's something other than pure symmetry.. It's nice to have just a little difference.. Maybe paint the chimney breast a colour with a hint of green if you want to stay light.. or a chalky darker green... Oval mirror hanging from the picture rail over the mantel and leave it bare... Dark green cushions for the dining table and some nice candlesticks... Think it is a really nice room though and I like the idea of painting... doors, skirting all woodwork and architrave... Something that stands out a little and even could be a green... One that compliments the small rectangular tile on the fireplace.. : ))...See MoreNeed help with Wood Burning Stove
Comments (6)That's reasonable actually. The flue and fitting alone aren't cheap and the price of stoves varies widely. You can buy cheap ones if you are going for cosmetic look but good ones which heat large rooms are easily £1500 alone. I know this because we agreed to fit one in our extension before we checked the price! We better really love it once it is fitted....See Morejenny_lanaghan
