Spliting up a large bedroom with Period trims
Comments (4)Hi Katherine, It sounds like a great space that can offer a real impact and still be a very cosy and relaxing space. It can be daunting to have such a large space to deal with at first, especially when there are features you don't want to touch. There are lots of different options for the space. I like the idea of opening up the fireplace as it would make a great feature for the room and a place to add a possible seating area for reading but I do agree that if down stairs is electric it is probably closed off. It is a bit of work and a messy job to get it changed. You shouldn't need to worry about planning but will obviously need to abide by building regulations. I think a lot of people place only a large bed and a select few piece of furniture in there types of rooms to draw attention and emphasis the gorgeous period features but there of course things we can do to add additional wardrobes in unobtrusive ways. I would agree to not adding a en-suit as it will unbalance the space. However, it is very hard to tell without any pictures? Would you be able to upload any? Alternatively you can forward some to enquiries@createperfect.co.uk and I will get back to you, or you can book a free consultation through our website and ill be happy to take a look.

Comments (6)Almond White is a lovely, warm neutral which will marry with so many bolder, but warm tones. Removing the wallpaper and painting that wall in a slightly deeper shade would look good. I rather like the stone F&B shades like Oxford Stone or London Stone. Light Gray looks lovely too. If you want to go even darker try Mouse‘s Back. Do you like green at all? Pigeon is a soft but deep green and very cosy. Hague Blue and Inchyra Blue are beautiful rich inky shades that would also look good, but they may be a bit too dark for a north facing room?

Comments (1)Hi Liz, for a relaxing, cosy feel to a room, I'd generally recommend painting the ceiling and the walls the same colour, or at least no more than 2/3 shades difference (darker on the walls and lighter on the ceiling to give the feel of additional height). Having different colours works in some spaces but can be distracting and as you already have the fireplace as the feature, I'd avoid it. You can always add a mirror or some art to the chimney breast to really enhance it. Alternatively, if you're really keen to use two colours, then you could consider painting the top half of the walls one colour and then use a darker shade on the bottom half, using the height of your fireplace as the halfway guide. Hope that helps? Jo (Room4 Interiors)...See MoreA J
