Seeking advice on photo frame placement on a long wall
Hi all, seeking your help on how you would use this wall (the first photo) to put family photo frames.The first idea that came to my mind mind was have photo frames placed in a straight row but that would look like an art gallery any may look a bit odd because of the ceiling is not straight. Can you use the incline to add a wow affect here - in what pattern should we put the family photo frames and what colour frames would we use (black, may be)... open to suggestions? The first photo is the wall where we would like to put the photos frames and the other photos are just to show the decor. thanks for your help

mint green walls advice
Comments (23)Love your image, Mrsmcee 74! My advice would be to go nearer to apple greens rather then mint i.e. you will be then airing on the yellow side rather than creeping towards blue on the colour wheel, thus the overall effect will be warmer.... Adding pinks will work very well as well - red is opposite green on the colour wheel so as long as your greens and your reds have the same tonal value it will sit in harmony. I.e. pale green won't sit with a vibrant letter box red but will sit with a very delicate pink. Not sure of the look you are after and whether you want it to be an 'enchanted' themed room or for it just to evolve with your daughter. You may want to have a look at Susie Watson Designs at susiewatsondesigns.co.uk for inspiration - not suggesting you purchase from, as v expensive for a three year olds bedroom! But there are some v nice images on there. I am putting together a small guest room at the moment using her for inspiration - photo below! Good luck and please come back with an 'after'photo!...See MoreRadiator placement: should it be under the window or on opposing wall?
Comments (12)Hi Elan, the old way of thinking is that radiators would be ideally placed under windows to take advantage of the natural convection that the draught from the window would create and because the window is already a wasted space in design terms anyway. However, as many others here have said, with the advent of double and now triple glazed windows, the effects of draughts is minimal. I see that you have positioned it under the window anyway and we would recommend this in most instances as you are less likely to block the heat with furniture and it is more likely to heat your room efficiently if it is placed under a window. Just bear in mind that long curtains draped over the top will be incredibly inefficient practice - as you would lose heat through your window (double glazed or not) and remember that if you are using Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) with your radiator, be sure that you turn them up gradually as this will help to adequately heat your room and be more efficient in the long run. Turning them right up to the top will not heat your room quicker, as that depends upon the quality of your boiler and the quality of your radiator itself.

Comments (21)Hi Jenny. Why not keep it simple to go with the table so something like this but maybe a simple scandi fern print or something rather than just the frame.cox and cox have a number of vases that would suit plus faux stems or try oka, Neptune or Abigail ahern for the stems but would keep them simple. I'd try and marry the other objects in some way ie colour, style, material, shape etc. I also have a chair on my landing and I have to say it does get used! Hopefully you have another spare corner....See Moreneed help with wall mirror and sconces placement
Comments (3)Nicky here from Man About The House - ( Hugh's long suffering wife ). I have OCD especially when it comes to sizes and placements, so for some it might not matter, but i like symmetry in bucket loads. If I were purchasing a mirror i'd go 5' to 5'6 leaving 6-9 inches either side of the mirror to the end of the couch. ( i prefer the 5' ). Then you can double or triple the distance from the mirror to the wall sconce. ( So i'd have a 5ft mirror leaving 9 inches to the end of the sofa, then 18 inches from the sofa to each sconce ). I think when you place them on the wall, you'll know what looks right for you, afterall, everyone's different....See MoreR countryside

5 years agoNo? No sideboard? No floor lamp?
Perhaps it would be a good idea to have the photos all printed in black and white and on canvas. Fairly large format. Or all in black and white and in silver or white frames. I would personally ignore the different ceiling height and just hang them in a straight line or in a neat group.
The centre of the frames should be at about eye level. That means that in a hallway they would hang higher up than in a lounge or dining room.
