Comments (3)Unable to see what the room looks like in natural daylight or there is indeed a good source of natural light. However, avoid a single lighting source, i.e a chandelier. The chandelier you have makes the corners of the room dark and gives a closed-in feeling. Have LED downlights installed across your ceiling - six to eight should spread the brightness across the room and allow light to reach the dark corners. They save energy too £££ :)...See MorePOLL: Most difficult room to decorate?
Comments (15)@embzop, I would keep the guest bedroom as plain and neutral as possible. And keep it decluttered to keep it inviting. @Tom Flannagan, I think bathrooms are just that one space in the house that is not attached to any other room style wise. When I walk into my future bathroom I want to be swept away from this world into another one of luxury and serenity! I don't care about styles and 'what should fit the house', the bathroom is my space and I will do with it what I like :) @milicaopica, I think there are great options when you have a 5m high ceiling! When you put in another 'floor' you can have extra storage, a hide away, extra sleeping space, perhaps a slide? The possibilities are almost limitless! @k11agl, I get your point. Possibly you could build a wardrobe against one of the sloping walls. But that of course depends on how much ground space the room will have left over and what you want to use the room for. I've got sort of the same problem next to my dormer windows, but I also have radiators up against two of the vertical walls. No wardrobe here :(. I think hallways are tricky too. They need to be functional yet inviting. Fortunately I have two; one tiled and the other one is going to have a parquet floor. So the first one will be the 'mudroom' where the kids can dump their stuff and coats and it will be made to be easily cleaned. The second, bigger one will be the 'nice' hall, with fancy wallpaper and nice furniture (telephone seat). Thinking about it I realise how lucky I am to be able to have two hallways with different functions ;)...See MoreL shaped lounge
Comments (1)Hi. You could try the sofa opposite the inglenook with the armchair where the sofa is and the tv to the right of the fire. Get a large rug to define the seating area, so that the legs of both sofas/ chair sit on the rug. Ideally I'd also add a large coffee table or footstool. I can't really see the bay end of the room to work out what is in it but formally arranged seating works along with area rugs. If you don't want to look at the back of the sofa, could the tv work in the other end?...See Moredifficult living room shape !!
Comments (48)Okay, I've made two moodboards for you, that you may or may not like :-) It's also difficult to say whether the colours I've put in will work, since in one photo your carpet has a pinkish tint and in the other it's more yellowish. It's always difficult with photos and different computers. But there we are. I think I'd be tempted to paint/wallpaper the niche that the sofa is in. And paint the long wall in a slightly darker colour than the rest of the walls. To give you some ideas:...See MoreAnglophilia
