Wallpaper advice for 3 childrens' feature wall in bedroom
Comments (8)what about colouring in wallpaper = hrs of peace & quiet and a lovely privilege for kids to draw on their walls! http://www.spoonflower.com/wallpaper/3041169 or http://www.burpboutique.com/products/colour-in-wallpaper?variant=137307502. So many different ones out there and what better feature for the kids. Granted, not easy on the adult eye necessarily but something the kids will never forget. I always remember thinking how cool my mum was for letting me paint a rainbow mural on my bedroom wall hen i was about 11yrs old!...See MoreMaster bedroom advice
Comments (10)Mirrored wardrobe doors create the illusion of space in a small room (we had some from the Ikea Pax range - or maybe they were called Vikedal?). It really depends what you like colour-wise, how dramatic you want to be, what other colours you have in the house etc. but a suggestion would be to have a feature wall on the wall behind your bed - you can either do this with wallpaper and pick a colour out of it to paint the other walls or paint your walls neutral and paint the feature one a bolder colour. In our old bedroom we did two walls (the feature and the one opposite) a bolder colour than the rest and it worked well in my opinion. We had Egyptian cotton in our living room so if we do happen to have similar taste we did our bedroom in green tea (also Dulux, now discontinued but if you go to a Dulux decorator centre they'd be able to mix it for you). TVs mounted to the wall are like Marmite but as a suggestion this could save you some space and you could lose the drawers the TV is currently on. I don't know if you currently have underbed storage but if not this could be somewhere to put your belongings from the chest of drawers and the ones your TV is on. Have fun!...See MoreChoosing a master bedroom wall colour
Comments (8)Hi Claire, Lovely carpet, I think I can visualise where you are with this. Bedrooms need to be soothing and a timeless colour that usually works is blue. In its most delicate tone its always soothing and restful. Just be a bit careful as to whether you have southerly or northerly light coming in, because as you probably already know, blue can read quite cold and dark even in a lighter colour if you get north/west light in at the window. In a sunny southerly room it will seem much warmer and welcoming. Green (a very pale soft warm yellow based green is a great way to enhance a darker room, combined with neutrals. So if your room is a little dark for most of the day, it's likely to need this injection of a warmer tone. Do get a Dulux tester pot, paint it onto a piece of A4 and blue tack it up. Live with it for a day or so, walk past it morning. noon and night and you'll know immediately if it works. If you're not sure about a colour, it's not right. Here's some quick thrown together inspiration which might help. Good luck!...See MoreMaster bedroom / ensuite advice
Comments (14)Hi Emma, there are a few considerations required before coming up with a solution. The budget is crucial, as moving the whole bathroom, as Sam suggested, (which would be my solution if money is no object), would require moving the soil pipe and changing its connection to the sewer. So the position of the existing soil pipe is important. Is it on the inside or outside of the house? Outside would be best! Where does it connect to the sewer pipe? Is there a manhole near to the existing soil pipe? What type of floor joists have been used and their sizes? Which direction do the joists go? If you want to move the whole en-suite, then the joists would ideally need to run across from the garden room wall, in line with the label Bedroom One, so that the shower and basin waste pipes can go under the floor between the joists. You could put the shower on a plinth and box off the waste, but it is not ideal, it makes the space look cramped with lots of boxing running along the floor/ wall. Then you need to know what space is like in the area directly above where the en-suite will be positioned for electrical installation, air extraction, lighting etc. a flat roof or eaves junctions are is far more difficult to work with. Putting the en suite on the wall backing the stairs allows you to put the bed facing the front of the house or on the wall where the en-suite is now. Hope this is not too confusing, but anything can be achieved if you have the money! Best wishes vernon...See MoreAnna Bray
