Annoying pop ups
Comments (9)Hi Deb, Thanks for getting in touch! First of all, make sure that you're signed at all times to avoid pop-ups. From the looks of the screenshot attached, it would seem you're signed into the US site (houzz.com) and are being redirected to the UK site. Whichever country you'd like to view, head to the app instead of the browser and go to Your Houzz, then Settings and click on Country. From there on you'll be able to select the country content you'd like to view! Hope that helps!...See MoreHelp! Colour Scheme for Industrial Style Kitchen
Comments (9)Hello You are at the planning stages of your design, how exciting. Industrial is such a great look, when we design this type of scheme for our clients we like to mix industrial elements with period style. So crittal windows with Victorian style floor tiles. Or industrial light fittings mixed with squishy unpholstery pieces such as sofas and armchairs. This will help soften the overall aesthetic, which as you suggest can be hard if not balanced with softer elements. Take a look at some of our interiors projects for inspiration. Mixing period detailing and styles from different eras such as mid century, Scandinavean and 70's with classic industrial elements such as exposed bricks, metal detailing will give you a more interesting and original take on this style. Good luck with you project, Clare...See MorePOLL: What's the first thing you see in this photo?
Comments (72)Each element is fab, love the steel kitchen units, the open brickwork walls and the stars. However collectively the eye dances around all over the place. The steel against the open brickwork is great. The flooring bothers me as it is shouting for attention against strong core elements. Less is more and decluttering would be an advantage....See MoreIndustrial Style Dining Room
Comments (13)Hello elfie, I first want to talk about lighting.. It may be a darker day that your image was taken, as I write today, there is a lack of sun.. I think you can create more light for that room. So my first suggestion is to buy the largest mirror you can get into the home and situate it if possible on that rear wall. I would suggest moving the rad to that section between the door to the garden and the arched doorway if at all possible or one that will fit into that space.. In this way you can have something like an 8ft by 6ft mirror to lean up against that rear wall.. It will not only be fabulous at reflecting light, but will also give you the appearance that the room is twice the size.. If you are to dine in here, candlelight and your main lighting will also look fabulous reflected back... It's a gr8 way to add interest whatever the size of room.. If you could perhaps consider another way to store the books.. In this room it might be most beneficial to keep it as light as possible with less dense objects.. So have a think about the idea (if you want to retain the books) that you halve what is currently on the shelves, and divide them between the alcoves. Leaving the upper half bare, in this way you're re-distributing what you have but thinning out visually its impact. You might also want to take out the stove in favour of a basket and logs for an open fire.. If the chimney breast is intact. They can look good as they are without an original surround.. You could add a mantle of some sort but it's not a necessity at all, and I would also suggest a large mirror for the chimney breast.. It too will add to the feature and focus of the room and reflect more light back into the room... For pendant I would suggest something narrow and wide.. It will maximise the room spatially and balance it more.. I'll add a few things I think will work beautifully.. I also like Jonathan's idea of a roll top bureau which were also prevalent in the 50's up. Or you could have some small cabinets to store the books or what's on the shelves and remove the shelving entirely.. I'll add a visual. I have purposely left the wallpaper, so as to encourage you to consider the idea of something lighter but textural or interesting.. See how large reflective objects such as the mirrors offset the wall coverings beautifully.. :)) This kind of wallpaper would also give you texture and retain a lighter aesthetic which I feel is right for the room and your blonde furniture. I would use it on the chimney breast.. I think it has a lovely bright but warm feel plus it works with an industrial feel such as the metal table and chair in the image.... For actual lighting consider paring a pendant shade like the one in my image with interesting wall lighting, such as something like this... So it's a sophisticated mix of mid century elegance with an industrial twist... You can angle the light to where you want it.. Architecturally, perhaps consider opening out that arched doorway to unify the two rooms which will in turn add more light.....See MorePatrina
