Hi, you have an interesting shaped room. I think you should form a right angle with 2 of the sofas and put the rug with them to unite the sitting area, at the window end. The shelves are not really helping with storage so I would be tempted to move them to the narrow end of the room where the dark grey sofa is now or editing the contents so you don't need them. If I understand the photo right, there are 3 sofas in the room. I would sell one on gumtree and buy a storage coffee table or blanket box to keep toys in. Toys expand to fill the space available so perhaps they could be stored in the dining room so there's space for you to relax in the sitting room after kids bedtime. Because the pink is to stay I would paint the other walls navy and find some huge colourful pink and navy throws to cover the sofas.

Hi Susan. Is the carpet staying? And does the room get a lot of natural light? Reason I ask is because this narrows down the colour choices. I had the same problem in our dining room with similar large black furniture. Since this room gets very little in the way of natural daylight I decided to just go with it and painted the walls a deep charcoal with lots of reflective and metallic accents. Hubby thought I was mad...funny how it’s the room we spend the most time in now. With your room my original thought was a deep stone colour or perhaps a putty colour. Laura Ashley’s Sable would have been my second choice if our dining room had a lot of light. If you do decide on grey then I’d wait until you get the sofas first but something with a warm, slightly beige undertone (greige) might work. Get a few testers and paint them on large sheets of paper so you can move them around before deciding. Hope this helps, here’s some inspo:

Hi Steve, What a lovely hallway you have! It looks like your home has got somewhat modern rustic feel with the beams and panelling so I would continue to use that style for the furniture. Here's a couple of options which could work: https://www.neptune.com/furniture/living/console-tables/suffolk/suffolk-console-table/ Or this one: https://www.neptune.com/furniture/living/console-tables/arundel/arundel-console-table/ In terms of colours, do you want a paint fo the walls and panelling or just the walls? If its the latter I would go with a soft light grey to contrast the existing colour on the panel. Something like Cornforth White or Elephants Breath - Farrow & Ball. Hope that helps? Let me know what you think? Thanks Rukmini Patel Interior Design

Hello. I know this isn't me asking for advice on my home, but I thought this would be the best place to ask for some advice on what to do with a wall I have in my Personal Training gym. The wall in question is around 11.5m by 4.5m, so it's pretty big... and as a result, will come with a hefty price tag regardless of what I do with it so I need to make sure I get it right. This is our current back wall: It is okay but doesn't currently go with our colour scheme which as you can see is white, red and black. I also think the acrylic logo is lost on such a big wall. In my head, I like the idea of black wood panels running across or down, like below: With a much bigger, white MDF sign that takes up more space above the red door. I really want to get an idea tied up with a final quote so I know whether to push on with this. But as a lone businessman with no one to bounce ideas off, I wanted to see what you all thought would be a good idea. Thank you.
