Need help for my lounge room!!
Comments (46)Missmjbs I totally understand your angst, and here's what I would say. Your room looks great as it is, its definitely not offensive and I would happily have a cuppa and a chat in there. Saying that I agree that it needs more work to make it the place that you would totally love. My favourite type of interiors are those that look like they've evolved over a period of time and not the ones where the owner goes and buys everything to match and beautifully coordinate and call it done!! Don't get me wrong I admire these interiors a lot and tend to decorate my own spare bedrooms in this manner because its a lot quicker and easier. I think you should deal with one thing at a time instead of focusing on the overall picture and take your time deciding every single piece that comes in that room, don't rush it. Enjoy choosing and educating your eye by doing a lot of research. I live by a mantra as far as my interiors go, if I absolutely love it then it will work. And I think this is important because our living spaces should reflect us most of all and relate to us and our lifestyles. So tackle that wall because it seems to me its the thing that bothers you most. Get your colour or wallpaper up and live with it for a while, you will know if its right or wrong then if you feel it doesn't work then you can look for a tv unit as an alternative. I would be inclined to buy (ikea malm are a favourite of many style lovers) or indeed have a handy hubby build you a set of simple consoles and position either side. Use some art work above to fill the wall around the tv and make it less obvious stuck there on its own and a couple of lamps and I think that wall could become your friend. As for my upholstered ottoman thank you :) , it was a rescued orange pine coffee table from a local skip, upholstered it myself in a gorgeous quality zebra fabric to pull in the dark colour from my painted Chinese TV cabinet turned booze bar (wish I could replace it). The nail trim made it look like I bought it in an expensive shop and it takes our feet every day watching telly :) Phew sorry for the war and peace :)...See MoreHelp! I bought a sofa and am having doubts. Is this nice or vile?
Comments (71)Since you asked for honest opinions, I think that is the most awful sofa I have seen. You made a great decision to cancel your order. You may benefit from the help of a professional decorator to help you with this room....See MoreI would appreciate your help with this
Comments (62)Hi everyone I am well aware that I haven’t updated you on this room but as it’s often the case things didn’t go according to plan. Everything was in place and we were ready for the bed to go together, only to found that when the removal guys took our bed apart they broke one of the bolts into the frame. So we had to admit defeat and buy a bed base until we can have someone look at it. I need to tweak it a bit more, change the lamps even but for now its ready for business. Thank you for all your help along the way. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a joy filled time ❤️...See MoreBedroom decorating scheme advice
Comments (73)I think the lighter fern fabric for the curtains would look very nice. And then linen, hessian, grey with pink warm undertone for the walls and ceiling, that the curtains almost blend in, and dark tone black shade for the window frame and the door. You can paint the nightstands black (if I can convince you to add a crystal knob. Alix’s pax handle looks really nice on black) and black low bookshelf in the corner where you have your shelves now, but window height and tour prints above it . Are you keeping that desk in your bedroom or is it for your daughter’s room? You are keeping it, put it under the window with your table mirror on it. Hessian fabric on the wardrobe door and paint the ridges black also. I would go with hessian fabric outside of the glass, it not entirely sure how difficult it is to do, tbh. if You put the fabric inside the glass you’d need to use a transparent glue. You are very good with diy, should be able to do it. If the fabric goes outside of the glass it will have a very different effect from the one if it goes under the glass....See MoreJonathan

5 years agoDo you mean a sticky back baize, something like this https://www.vinylwarehouse.co.uk/new-90cm-wide-black-baize-205-1810---various-lengths-sticky-backed-6619-p.asp. I see what you mean about tricky to apply tho, wallpaper would be easier to slide into place. Have you searched for flock wallpaper? I know you can get plenty of patterns in black, not sure about plain. Off topic I was looking at this site earlier which has some nice wallpapers and other lovely stuff. https://www.andrewmartin.co.uk Also got thinking of sound acoustic reducing qualities and this might sound a bit crazy but how about self adhesive carpet tiles. https://www.floormats.co.uk/ribbed-commercial-carpet Not recommended if you have cats! It would be like the worlds largest scratching post;-). You can also get proper acoustic wall coverings made from all sorts like felt, wool, cork etc. bit pricey tho. Some inspiration:

5 years agoHi Rachel
Many thanks for those ideas, I will certainly look into the vinyl warehouse options and also carpet tiles etc (but yes they are a little pricey) but worth considering.
My room as it stands is as per the attached picture - cosmetically it does look fine as is, however I didn't appreciate how much contrast is lost on an image when everything is not as black as it can be, hence the reason why I need to change the colour of the walls etc and would prefer a fabric type material.
Thanks againMike
