Budget ideas to finish living room
Comments (11)Hi Laura, the room looks fab so far. I can see that you're a fan of bold colours and the curtains are an excellent choice. If you love the yellow chair then I say go for it! I've done a little mood board with a few things you may like. I think for the rug I'd go for something plain with a velvety sheen or a large geometric pattern but with a limited colour palette (cut pile being best for the kitty's) My preference is the turquoise one as I think it pulls the colour from the curtains and will complement the yellow chair and pink accents. For lights I thought a metallic element would suit the room, something like a brass drum shade perhaps. Anyway, here's a list of what I've used but you can always shop around for cheaper alternatives.

Comments (16)How about something like this. Shorten the kitchen and block off door to create a bathroom which should be relatively easy with regards to drains. Take down wall between existing kitchen and lounge and utilize the extended space under stairs for the kitchen diner. Create access to garage from kitchen and use part of garage for utility space. Garage could be extended forward at a later date. Use the current dining room as separate lounge. Also like Math's idea to square off the garden doorway from current lounge to make the back more uniform. You have a good size house so plenty of possibilities but I'm no expert so couldn't help with how much things would cost....See MoreGarden Dilemma, Help Please!
Comments (4)Hi Tacita, I think that a decking at the level of the house floor that extends the house to the outdoors would look great just outside your pretty garden doors! It is also generally a cheaper than a patio. I think that overall you should establish what you want to use the garden for: an area of lawn for the children will be important, but apart from that and an area for entertainment (deck or patio), what else would you like to use the garden for? growing fruit and veg? is there any features that you would like in the garden? water fetaure, pergola, arches etc? This will help you to determine what areas you need to have in the garden and the best way to divide it and give it shape and form. You don't necessarily need to cover the new bit of fence. But perhaps having some ornamental trees that will give you year around interest such as a cherry tree or amelanchier would be a good idea. If you would like more advice, I do online garden design and consultations and have some very affodable options. Please let me know if you are interested and good luck with your garden!...See Morelost my way need some help garden layout
Comments (0)I want to have no lawn garden due to having 2 dogs. I was starting my garden ages ago but tried to finish off house things first I need garden design help I like my raised bed the hut will be replaced and moved to other side as I don’t want to be sitting looking into bins they will go behind a trellis I screen . Kinda like 3 diff areas but though about raised beds at the side. Now I’m confused I will be doing this myself on a tight budget buying things when I can Dug up so much like a swamp with the dogs not very nice Any help drawings anything would be appreciated I was going to try garden designers but the cost just can’t do it. I have 20 reclaimed slabs lying as well. I do also think painting the paving at my back door light grey to make colour mor uniform. Thanks in advance....See MoreUser
