Our customer in East London wanted to add the finishing touches to their living room. The old curtains and poles were removed and the broken blinds replaced with wooden venetian blinds. Adding warmth and cosiness to their living space.

I think you should remove the sofa from kitchen. I like your Burberry stile cushions. They gave me the idea about new carpet from IKEA with similar colour scheme. The glass table will not hide the print and you also can add a few red accessories. They will bright up your kitchen and won't cost you a lot.

I love how you've kept the character alive in a tasteful eclectic mix. I think you may like a splash of colour in the bathroom by adding a canvas roman blind in a bold teal with a coordinating runner rug and some luxurious towels. A wall mounted rack for folded towels above the loo, will interrupt the monotone of the wall as may a plant or some. Also some woven floor baskets or quirky toiletpaper or magazine container to add interest.

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! ;)

Help needed to decide if wood effect tiles are ok for living room.

With grandchildren I would avoid glossy tiles as they will be very slippery when wet. Karndean and other luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are a good practical option. Floorify and Polyfloor are some other brands that also do wood look. They are pretty bombproof. I’m not sure if they are compatible with underfloor heating, however they are not cold like tiles so it’s less necessary. For wet underfloor heating you would generally need to raise the floor to accommodate the pipes and screed (which also means redoing doorways etc) or take up and replace the whole existing subfloor. So it’s quite a big job.
