Do you have anything yellow in your home?
Comments (19)Hi Emmeline yes it's a wall mural by photowall, it's a very small lounge but I decided to brighten it up a bit! Was approx £170. The mushroom chair was from Bluesuntree but is now discontinued. http://www.photowall.co.uk/photo-wallpaper/retrospectra-1...See MoreWhat practical feature/item do you secretly crave for your house?
Comments (98)Lights which automatically turn on when I enter a room (especially in the kitchen and in the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom) and lights inside my wardrobes (especially inside the one in the bedroom: I often get up earlier than my hubby, and it may be still dark outside, and I don't want to wake him up while I'm looking for my stockings)....See MoreWhere do I buy a black framed shower door
Comments (55)@john clark I have just bought a walk in shower tray with fixed screen with black profile and support arm for £365 from showertraysuk if you are looking for that rather than over shower bath. Like Katie I got my shower (£160) and exposed trap (£45) for the basin from Victoria Plumb, pop up waste off soak.com (£12.99) taps very similar to Katie but with a rounded spout again off ebay (£65) I've not yet fitted my bathroom but I hope it looks as good as yours Katie!!...See MoreIf you had £1000 to spare, what would you buy?

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoSo things have taken unexpectedly longer than planned for building work to be completed! But we are nearly there :) So I'm back to the chairs question again, if any of you lovely people have some advise. The original chair ended up not being for me (shame) so I actually ended up going with the sweet pea and willow chair carolina recommended: https://www.sweetpeaandwillow.com/sofas-seating/armchairs/hepburn-armchair-pink-velvet (thank you x) as well as a chesterfield sofa (cromwell by john lewis in smoke, a grey/taupe velvet: https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-cromwell-chesterfield-grand-4-seater-sofa/p2465931?fabricSku=237483933&legType=light)
I need an additional 2 chairs. So the layout would be the sofa, then two armchairs perpendicular to the sofa and then the sweet pea and willow armchair facing inwards on the diagonal on the opposite corner. My problem is what chairs? I definitely don't want velvet as the other two chairs are velvet and i think that might be velvet overload. Then i thought maybe a light pink but then thought with the hepburn chair and the silvery velvet chesterfield that might look a little sickly-sweet. I really like the phoebe chair by west elm as i think the style/legs match perfectly with the sweet pea and willow chair but problem is it's pink and velvet: http://www.westelm.co.uk/#phoebe-chair-pink-h2649 What do you all think? Would pink be a no no? Oh i haven't got the curtains yet as these are being made but i have attached the fabric for reference. Walls are quartz grey deluxe and carpet is a light cream (the carpet pictured in the photo os the same). I don't have any other furniture yet either, literally just the chesterfield and hepburn chair

5 years agoIf you don't like the idea of a second sofa, how about these chairs? I think that another velvet will be okay, not sure if I'd go for pink again. Not everyone likes high armrests, so I went for lower armrests and a different style chair.
Another option would be to go for a more classic style chair that ties in with the Chesterfield sofa, so your pink chair really stay accent chairs.

5 years agoThe chairs are from House of Isabella, brand is Liang & Eimil. I wanted to ask you if you had ordered the light or the dark feet. I 'm not too bothered by feet matching or not, but I do think that the dark feet look slightly better with the dark feet on the chairs. They will still be a different colour though. It also depends (a bit) on what else you will put in the room.
But since these pieces of furniture are all so different, I really wouldn't bee too bothered about the colour of their feet.
See what you think.

5 years agoYou obv have a very elegant taste :-) Love the art.
I think that the tulip chair is too similar to the other pink chairs.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoGot home and the living room has become a storage ground whilst the other rooms our being decorated so (at the moment) I can't get anymore photos, but I've attached both a room plan and a photo shortly after the carpet was laid so you can get an idea of colour. On the floor plan, the sofa is the size of my chesterfield and the chair on the angle is the size of the pleated pink armchair. The two armchairs on the perpendicular are what i was envisioning but haven't bought yet. There will be coffee, tables and end tables, i just haven't bought anything yet so haven't added to the plan so as not to confuse :) Regarding the footstools, i was thinking a console table to the right of the sofa with the footstools tucked underneath this. There are two radiators one underneath the enormous window and the other on the door wall, on the right side and so the console table can't go next to the door as it would block the radiator. The art work would go on the wall opposite the door, behind the two armchairs. Let me know if you need anymore info :)

5 years agoAh, misunderstood, thought there'd be two x two chairs. So it'll look something like this?

5 years agoSo I'm thinking I finally need to make a decision (can you tell i'm indecisive?!) So based on all the helpful advice you've given me and trying to incorporate all of it - what do you think of this chair?

4 years agoSo all the chairs have (finally!!) turned up. I still need to put the light oak legs on the chesterfield and the curtains and paintings are due this week but this is where we are at the moment. The footstools are to the left out of view. It's a tricky room as it's almost too big for one seating area but too big for too. To be fair when we get side tables and find a coffee table big enough that will help (as well as putting up the curtains/paintings of course) but thought you'd like to see progress thus far
