I love your teal walls and brick ... with regards to colours be aware that they are both warm and muted colours which is why the mustard chairs would look fab as they are in the same colour "family". For this reason wood items, natural medium-darker richer/warmer wood would look good. Older wood also tends to be richer in colour due to patina. If you really want white (not ideal), use a warm soft white otherwise it will clash and cheapen the look of the room. Same goes for greys, not the ideal choice for this colour family but if you really want them I would go for warm, rich mushroom versions. Greys are fashionable at the moment so there is a tendency to throw them everywhere whereas there are so many other options. I agree with those above that say stick with natural logs, freestanding bookcases better and you can put the TV in one and books above and below. The chair from 'Made' is gorgeous and not a patch on the more clinical Ikea one (I like other Ikea things just not this one) so if you can, I would wait and save up or find something else. I came across my vintage lime and raspberry chair on ebay and fell in love with it and although not dirt cheap (but still good value) it makes me smile everyday so worth every penny (makes my pink/magenta sofa zing). A deep or rusty orange would also look amazing in your room. Here's a random selection of good value examples ... I don't like the legs in these (3) for your room so would get some brown leather ribbon to make them a bit more earthy and wrap around the legs. Would look great and even cheaper than the Ikea ones! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bucket-chairs-in-orange-hessian-x3-/400964597979?hash=item5d5b5a38db or something a bit more unusual/retro ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960s-retro-original-chair-covered-in-orange-fabric-design-council-London-/301697474595?hash=item463e922023 More traditional/shabby look (although colours a bit pale) ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEL-48-PAIR-Vintage-French-Shabby-Chic-LOUIS-CARVER-Hall-Dining-Arm-Chairs-/181811678698?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a54d20dea Retro cocktail chair ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oyster-Retro-Occasional-Upholstered-Chair-Orange-Lime-Lola-/351151269668?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=620439252902&hash=item51c23f2724 Interesting but more classic/subdued ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Richmond-mustard-print-club-chair-armchair-accent-chair-home-furniture-sofa-/281730696757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4198754635 Modern but interesting ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beautiful-Allermuir-Orange-Yellow-Designer-Chair-RP-560-/201395165075?hash=item2ee4165793 Traditional but interesting ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Golden-Yellow-Button-Back-Chairs-/181790044031?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a5387ef7f I don't know your taste or what the rest of the room looks like but just showing that there are so many options ... especially if you are willing to be patient and curious, you never know where you'll find something. Creativity outweighs budget and gives you a home with more personality. Also if you find the right chair and then go for it with new fabric and a staple gun. Some designs easier to re-cover than others. As for hubby, he'll like it once it's done and if he's indifferent anyway, at least make one of you happy. Everything you talk about is adding a warm 'feminine' touch which makes a home (yes some men have it too before anyone jumps in), we all have something different to bring to a partnership. Enjoy and remember to post 'after' photos. (my chair from ebay below).

Got Kitchen Cabinets colours wrong, need help.....

Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look.

By the way, Maria ... I bought the teacups at none other than at a Wilko store (UK)!! They often have some lovely accent items there. Also, at Amazon UK, I purchased a number of very realist flicker battery candles, to cast a gorgeous, romantic evening glow. My three oak furniture pieces were expensive, as was the sofa, but honestly, all the finishing touches are very affordable and were vital in creating the look I was after. I'm so glad you like it. The green wall, (with pink accents), is daring, but I find it very relaxing. As for the fireplace and fire, they were purchased separately. I tracked down the Georgian-style surround on eBay, and the 'electric' fire, from Dimplex. I hope all this is of some use. Jeanette
