Can you please advise me how we can decorate my elderly mother's loung
Comments (10)I would start with her bedroom, that's the area she wil rest. Keep it neutral and and peaceful. Make the curtains cheerful that will be the first thing she'll see when she wakes up. A four feet bed will be comfortable for her and find out how much it will cost to raise the bed ...at a certain age it is more comfortable to get in and out of. Table lamps which by a touch will light up a big alarm clock... Older people always want to know the time! Two bedside tables. Soft carpet for her feet and a big collage on the wall with photos of her family. I would get rid of the wardrobe is is so huge and if you look on your local ebay and put you postcode in you will be able to get a good bargain. Look for a comfy chair too with a floorlight for reading. If space a nice little table (local ebay) will make it complete. Your mum prefers her wall painted but again a roll of cheerful wallpaper for one wall in her bedroom will make it special for her. Try to get rid of all the clutter like those two shopping trolleys perhaps in a cupboard in the hall? I have done a lot of houses up on a shoestring and it is a challenge but can be so satisfying. One thing I have learnt ....ALWAYS finish one room completely before going on to the next room. It helps when you feel a bit down about the project and one look in the finished room gives one a big boost to continue!!! Good Luck....See MorePlease help me with a paint job in the kitchen .
Comments (3)Agree with dianas. You could paint the cabinets. We did this as a temporary measure after moving into a 60s house. Make sure you get a hard wearing paint that can be wiped clean though. Otherwise you will need to add a protective layer (varnish/wax/pva) and this will usually change the final colour....See MoreHelp, What colour can I paint my kitchen please
Comments (8)Hi, Using colour: I would stay neutral for the walls above the units; a great colour example of this is 'Strong White' by Farrow and Ball and then for the wall on the left of the photo I would have this as a feature all and go for a darker tone such as 'Green Blue' by Farrow and Ball. Using lighting: spotlights are great as they can provide an even spread of light in your kitchen, especially if you are limited in natural light. Due to having a dark coloured back splash, having under cabinet spotlights on a separate electrical circuit would provide additional lighting on the worktop area in the evening and night hours. The installation looks great so far !

Comments (4)Depends on the door style you like, ie do you like a more traditional or shaker style, a modern gloss kitchen, handleless kitchens, flat slab doors with handles, very modern true handleless, and also the accessories you want, are they available like wine racks or display cabinets. So for a shaker door, this would be a 5 piece wooden door, usually made from ash (popular with painted doors) or oak and a veneered centre panel and the frame is a tenon joint, cheaper doors have a v groove running through the joint instead of smooth, doors are about 20mm thick, usually standard sizes but some bespoke suppliers. Considered best. But there's also 5 piece mdf doors that have a vinyl wrap which usually has a woodgrain and can be coloured, also about 20mm, can be made to measure sizes, Then you also have a vinyl wrap mdf door thats a 1 piece door that's been machined on the front and then covered in a coloured vinyl, if the vinyl has a grain it runs only one way and these are only 18mm. Can be made to measure sizes. These can be flat slab, shaker style or other options and are your cheapest. For a gloss kitchen then a painted and lacquered door is best, a flat slab door is usually 18mm mdf but a few 22mm are available. For a handleless J profile door you need 22mm doors to allow for the handle, usually mdf and painted and lacquered for gloss or matt, the vinyl doors (apart from a few cheap cut and edged 19mm thick) just don't have a deep enough handle. Theres also acrylic faced flat slab mdf doors with a choice of edging, 18mm thick and can have a matt or gloss finish, good quality and finish. Cheaper mfc 18mm doors, these are melamine faced chipboard in a multitude of colours and woodgrains and can have a 1-2mm edging, can be made to measure and depending where its made you can get them made with a woodgrain and book leaved so the grain follows from door to door. which can look stunning. The true handless look is just having a handle rail beind the doors fitted to the cabinets and the doors are just a flat slab door as above Then you also have in-frame kitchens which are usually quite traditional with a frame around each door or drawer pack, usually a shaker style door and all made from wood and can work out pretty expensive. Can have visible butt hinges for that traditional look....See More
