Very dark living room
Comments (22)The curtains and blinds will be blocking much more light than the TV. You can see this from how low the shadow comes on the wall below the ceiling. In the third photo you can see light outside just desperate to get in! If you do away with your Roman blind, substituting roller blinds if you need them, you will allow much more light in. Don't let your curtain overlap the window, particularly at the top, it would definitely be worth investing in the longest curtain rail your bay can accept, then make sure you pull the curtains as far back as they can go. Ideally it would be better with a pole the full width of the room straight across the bay, but this won't work if the TV has to sit in the bay. Personally I would paint all your walls and ceilings white and colour the room with accessories. Or if you like coloured walls go for something which has connotations of daylight, perhaps pale blue, pale yellow. It looks as though the wall behind the sofa is grey at the moment and it isn't adding any joy to the room. You can add cushions (or cover the ones on the sofa), in pastel blues/pinks/yellows and this will add the feeling of a summer's day to the room, the colour of your curtains is just right for this. If you can I would change your picture for something the same size but in pastel colours and hang it lower so that it catches the eye as something bright and pretty. At the moment it is sitting in shadow. And one last thought - do you really need all the pieces of your suite in this room? There isn't a law which says you have to keep a suite together - if you don't have room for it all....See MoreHelp making our dark narrow hallway more "finished"
Comments (19)I would add colour, perhaps change the floor depending on budget and add some nice storage where you hang your clothes rather than leave it open. You can have some kind of console under the stairs with lighting and a round mirror to make the place look spacious and perhaps small pendants , 3 or so, along the corridor. Definitely looks like it needs brightening up and lighting is key. However of course it depends on what you doing with the rest of the house, for example you could even change the stairs and have a nice runner . It is not just the hallway, but the entrance to your house and it all has to flow!...See MoreWin a colour room makeover by Dulux and a weekend away! - CLOSED
Comments (213)With much excitement the Dulux panel, after reviewing all the creative entries for the Colour Picker competition, have selected their winner! ‘Summer in Cornwall’ is a beautiful and calming collection of muted blues. The use of tonal colour is very on trend and also features Denim Drift- The Dulux colour of the year! The title of the collection, ‘Summer in Cornwall’, the styling of the selected room set and the combination of the restful blue colour palette, echoes the recurring theme of our 2017 Colour Futures trends, about yearning for real experiences, the importance of treasuring simple and genuine things in life and re-connects us with mother nature’s very own colour palette....See Morequick makeover for our 1940’s hallway.
Comments (12)Hi Ellie I actually have been thinking the same. We are not 100% sure if we would be able to do the kitchen next year but the idea of planning the colours and how they flow from one room to the other is very wise and maybe the hallway should actually be last room to be decorated. We know once we do our kitchen we will need to replace the hallway floor as it’s the same as our dining room so lots to consider really. I think what we might end up doing is just to get a Neutral colour from Dulux for example and freshen it up a bit. There are parts where the paint has been peeled due to the use of a stairgate so it needs paining now anyway but like you said, maybe not to use an expensive paint or do a dramatic change until the extension is finished. Thanks for your comment and help. ☺️...See MoreA B
