Comments (33)White or pale walls are ok, DOn't feel that the only way to decorate4 is by painitng the walls. Decide if you want white on white scheme, or a pop of colour. If so, cushions and curtains are the way to go. Decide on a colour and stick to it. TRy the 70-20-10 rule where your 70 is white4 (your walls) and 20 is curtqains and cushions and 10 is a secondary colour such as gold or silver for hardwaqre and ornaments and presto you're done....See More1930s Bedroom Fireplace - Advice needed
Comments (12)Hi everyone! Just posting an update to show how it’s all progressing. Thank you all very much for your suggestions and advice! In the end, we opted to take the easiest possible approach. We re-used the old MDF covering as a backing board cut out a hole for so that the fireplace is visible, and tiled it out. We then made a “surround” for the “hole” (because the tiles wouldn’t fit and we didn’t fancy cutting any more than we necessary) and stuck it on over the MDF. I then painted the “feet” to get rid of the sludgy grey colour. I’m happy with the results! Certainly not practical or usable as a heat source in any shape or form, but I think it’s nice to look at, at the very least! Next step is to find something for the hearth, not quite sure what to do just yet!...See MoreHelp! Need some advice for my bedroom in a flat-share
Comments (11)Hear are some thoughts- I see there are cases on the wardrobe. make use of them for storage- put items such as linen, extra pillows and off season clothes in them, or anything else that needs storing! A thought could be to place some stick on hooks onto the side of the wardrobe to take towels, and seasonal jackets, to keep items being thrown over desk chair or draws. If you can find them in black then the hooks won't look so temporary and will tie into the suggestions below. A perfect place for a framed map would be over the bed, either a single large one or multiple smaller frames. Frames could be wood or a simple black frame. You can use stick on hooks these days to avoid wall damage. Taller bedside lamps, i know there are the sconces but they seem a bit high to be useful as bedsides. You could go with a dark anglepoise style - a little industrial to tie in with the metal beam. Bedding - invest in a more appropriate size doona. If the bed is a double, you could go queen or even king size for the doona to drape well down the sides and properly cover the bed. If nothing else this will shift the feeling from a student room! Doona cover - a simple one colour but textured cover would keep the scheme simple - cotton is the flavor of the moment. A dark charcoal, darker silver gray? My male other half can never see the point of additional pillows but I'm sorry, a couple of dress pillows does help to fill out a bed, even though they are moved for sleeping! And a bedhead. You can buy a simple one without buying a full bed frame. It looks like you have additional space on one side - the left as you face the bed head wall. If possible i would see if the chest of draws fit in this space to free up the other side from clutter. If it doesn't fit it might worth considering a taller, narrower set - if so, look for the same wood color and style. Alternatively the desk might work in that position, and the drawers could move to the desk location. Actually, the more I think on it , the desk there would keep the desk area from feeling tucked into the corner. Keep the drawer top clear of things- a leather box on top can be the go to place for things like phone, wallet, watch etc. And keep tidy!...See MoreUrgently need advice for teen bedroom

I wouldn't add too much now but perhaps you could highlight the angle on the wall with a bit of decoration (see below - but not suggesting plants, perhaps three small framed photos? Or pictures she likes? White frames would be nice). Maybe another cushion, geometric with some grey in to tie in with the wall. And a rug (sheepskin? Faux fur?)
