My wife and I can never agree on what type of art (tone/style/size) should go on the walls, so I thought I'd ask here.

Any recommendations that ship to the UK are appreciated.

Thanks :)

Large landscapes would look good. Replace the tiny lamps with something substantial.

If you moved the bed onto the other wall then created a feature headboard behind your bed, it would add glamour and look comfortable, adding a better flow to the room.

HiTino Felly, Marie Here. Your off to a great start - but you've made a common mistake in that you've found your inspiration for your colour palette, but your not committing to it. You need to bring the greens and blues up onto the walls and onto the floor - commit to it. You could: - add a great throw rug underneath the bed, - add big table lamp beside the bed - or better yet, a wall sconce, - drapery isn't really the best choice for this bedding - I would have brought in a bold graphic print here, in either the blue or the green - artwork can stay neutral - even do a collection of mixed metals in chrome, gold, and have fun with that - if you add too much in the blue and green it becomes boring and un-special. Choose your accessories carefully, I'd change out your drapery - go with something bolder, I'd also get a larger night stand so you could put a proper table lamp there. Good Luck!

HI MARINA, I love your bedroom- great high ceilings. Your furniture is also nice. I would follow the lead from the furniture keeping all furniture white. I love tropical coastal style. I would put up a white ceiling fan and ikea sell some white nets that let in loads of light and give privacy. I would decorate the walls in an off white with a hint of pink in it for warmth and to bring out the tones in your beautiful floor. I would collect local art for the walls. I would go to town on the bedding and cushions for the bed. I would mix your favourite colours- turquoise, teal, with green and coral. Making the room have a tropical coastal beach hotel vibe. I would feel like I was on holiday every day and never want to leave. Once you've surrounded yourself with personal things like photo frames of loved ones, plants/ flowers etc, you will feel right at home and settled. I've loved decorating for years, and tried lots of colours on walls but recently I've returned to off whites as they are so flexible and you can change the look with coloured accessories regular. "2 good books to read are Greg Natale - 'A tailored interior'- He's great, and tells you trade secrets to give your home the wow factor an be your own interior designer. Also anything by Barclay Butera - he's the best for coastal/beach styles. Wishing you lots of fun.

Need Help with Bedroom Feature Wall
Q

Hi again. So this is what I have done so far. Still seems that something is missing?!?? With 2 pictures either side and mirrored side tables it looks better. Mazur, I really like your idea and that was my original plan but then I realised that with my wall space it is hard to achieve as the wall is much bigger then the bed and there is a lot of empty wall after the bed. So I either need to frame the mirrors in together with headboard or have the mirrors as 2 separate pieces ( sort of like my pictures but bigger??? If I frame the whole thing in then what do I do with the rest of the wall? Any thoughts? Advise? Many thanks to all!

Spliting up a large bedroom with Period trims

Hi Katherine, It sounds like a great space that can offer a real impact and still be a very cosy and relaxing space. It can be daunting to have such a large space to deal with at first, especially when there are features you don't want to touch. There are lots of different options for the space. I like the idea of opening up the fireplace as it would make a great feature for the room and a place to add a possible seating area for reading but I do agree that if down stairs is electric it is probably closed off. It is a bit of work and a messy job to get it changed. You shouldn't need to worry about planning but will obviously need to abide by building regulations. I think a lot of people place only a large bed and a select few piece of furniture in there types of rooms to draw attention and emphasis the gorgeous period features but there of course things we can do to add additional wardrobes in unobtrusive ways. I would agree to not adding a en-suit as it will unbalance the space. However, it is very hard to tell without any pictures? Would you be able to upload any? Alternatively you can forward some to enquiries@createperfect.co.uk and I will get back to you, or you can book a free consultation through our website and ill be happy to take a look. All the best, Gina

When it comes to art in the home, I feel that personal significance is more important than 'Wow factor' - but you still want stuff to go with and enhance your décor. (There's a classic joke about a woman going to an artprint shop, seeing Picasso's painting of the straw-seat chair, and asking, 'Could I have that in Blue'?) Luckily there are now loads of services for editing and printing images in large format and on various supports. Something I've started playing with is HALF-TONE prints of photos of people and/or places I know. Half-tone looks stylish, masks less than perfect focus - and you can choose two colours that perfectly match your décor. (These examples are just a tryout with a stock photo and an online picture-editor - I'm sure you can get much higher definition from a dedicated printing company and a good photograph). Have your image printed onto metal or on the back of glass (perspex is cheaper, but less ecological). If your photos aren't of a quality that stand up to large format rendering, go for lots of small images unified by your colour choice. (You could also alternate the background and foreground colours for a postiive/negative effect).
