How would you design this bedroom? I want it calm, cosy & bright :)
Comments (36)Gone through my album of our very own decorating therapy journey and found these. I hope you can see the roller black-out in the first photo, it's tucked inside the recess of the window. The Duette is a peachy colour which looks a lot lighter colour in the north-facing sun. The one in the five panel window is the room below, it does not have the roller blind but the curtains are black out. They are not as efficient in blocking out light as the roller in recess though. the curtains are from Hamilton McBride, only reason i got them were because not many wide (350cm) curtains are cheaply available on Amazon... If your room is not too cold, you can also consider wooden venetian, mine is in white colour as you can see from the 'blue room' (it's F&B's new Vardo btw), which is on the ground floor of the north facing side. 247 does oak colour too. Many neighbours asked us where we got those from!! They look great at a good price - those two windows cost me just under a £100 - but they are not the most energy efficient. They are okay blocking out light but if you have it in the south-facing room, it might not be quite enough. Do go to 247blinds and request some free samples, it's worth a try. Hope this helps! ;)...See MoreNeutrals, bold colours, all white or pastels?
Comments (7)Hello Ocean, Colour whether paint or paper can have such an impact... It then requires layers, texture.... Being equally versatile in either lighter schemes or those of the darker side, I do like creating rich and unique, dramatic as they are serene for my "Curated Spaces" In both cases lighter or darker.. they need unique finds, interesting arrangements that take them into personal territory. That which makes a home unique, interesting and altogether more sophisticated.. It's not about a darker colour and a "Pop" of bright colour either. It's rather more than that, it's something that feels developed and worked on over time.. even if it hasn't! This is what can take an interior from show home to spectacular home... So personally I'm after dramatic, beautiful, spectacular homes that are either dark or light depending on the required... In all cases they're bold! : ))...See MoreWhat coloured Christmas lights do you prefer?
Comments (6)I bought led white lights 2 years ago and apart from making my ceilings and woodwork look amazingly white they actually gave me brain freeze, I almost went cross eyed. I gave them all to my sister and bought warm white. And flashing lights make me want to commit murder...See MorePOLL: Neutral or colourful kitchen?
Comments (3)The below two images are examples of projects we have completed in which "neutral with a splash of colour" has been a key concept in the kitchen. The more striking kitchen at Claremont Court benefits from unified patent grey units and a similar toned floor to seamlessly frame the extremely bright coloured features, whereas the subtler use of the colour/neutral combination at Peter Heathfield sees a range of grey tones and textures gently complementing the sky blue glass splashback and small pops of terracotta for a less garish use of colour....See MoreJuliet Docherty
