You may want to reconsider keeping curtains as well as the shutters, as they don't keep out all the light, particularly as you said the room is bright & south facing. Especially in the summertime when it gets lighter so much earlier. From someone who's been awake since 5am because of this problem! Note to self: must get round to choosing curtains! Also, F&B cornforth white is very pale. We've used it on the interior of our windows, but I think it would be a little boring if we used it on the walls, too close to white, especially in a room as bright as yours. A friend with very good taste recommended Little Greene's French Greys. It's a lovely warm grey & there are several different tones. Don't be scared of even the darkest one as even that isn't too strong on the walls! Our master bedroom used to be at the south facing front of a 30's house too, but after rebuilding we're now at the back of the house. Although I love looking out over the garden, I do miss that glorious sunshine you get! (Although not at 5 in the morning!). Have fun deciding, and remember you can always repaint if you really hate anything!

I think you could have got away with it although lovely to use it for your room! I think (!) you have just about enough room for curtains as there won't be much material to stack back although you may need to use end caps rather than finials on the eaves side. My only worry Is that it could make the wall seem shorter but try it with sheets first as I do like the look as per my first pic and would have the same layout with bed where it is and move your chests under the window. I like the other pelmet but it doesn't allow the blinds to show unless you block light so might remove it. I mistakenly thought you had the grape version of the fabric so might look at a grey velvet bed or even a green one or I do like the rattan ones. The one pictured is from the French bedroom company. I managed to get one for my spare room in it's raw state off eBay for £270 and then I painted it myself. If you could store the laundry elsewhere this was my idea for a leaner mirror opposite the window but with a low upholstered bench/settle in front. The dressing table looks as if it was made to measure and good for storage? I might paint it a lighter shade, change the mirror for something a little more delicate and add a stool

Hi Anna, have you considered a monochrome interior? The versatility of monochrome allows it to be combined effortlessly with other styles such as Scandinavian or industrial chic. It’s an easy look to achieve and if done correctly looks stunning. You just need to remember to vary tints and shades of a single colour to great effect otherwise you’ll end up with a ‘monotonous’ look. If you’re looking to create a softer Scandinavian approach to your living room then select brown shades. Warm up the monochrome palette with a super-soft carpet, such as Cormar’s lustrous Sensation collection, and lots of cosy textures that soften the edges and keep it homely. Hope that helps!

What a transformation, clean fresh and modern, fab job!
