Decorate the Houzz UK Office walls!
Comments (54)Hi Vivienne, Just wading in with my two pence worth! My immediate thought of what you could put on your wall in your first picture of the table with the plants on it is, artwork or mural of a Japanese garden. Everything about Japanese gardens are about equal and opposites, ying and yang if you like. The effect is calming and reaches into the soul to soothe the stresses away. Probably very necessary when you've been working hard and need a break or some downtime. My other immediate thought to your second picture with the corner sofa is, a seaview or something showing an expanse of water or body of water. If we all had a choice to live within eyesight of the sea or body of water, how many of us would say 'Yes!'. Again, another subject of relaxation for the soul. If any of these subjects are of any interest, I'm sure you can source the exact artwork, mural, poster, canvas whatever you decide it's gonna be for these chosen spaces, but here's a glimpse at what I have in mind when I talk of seaview. All the best with whatever you decide to do....See MoreRevamped bedroom
Comments (7)Hi. I would try rearranging the furniture slightly. Try the desk on the back wall next to the wardrobe. Swap the chest of drawers and bed around (assuming the door will open, hard to tell from pics!). There's quite a contrast between the blue and cream walls. It looks as if your son has london skyline pillows (or it looks like St Paul's from what I can see!). If so, why not try a slightly urban look? You can get enormous wall murals from around £30. Try the London skyline or maybe a banksy mural or something he's interested in. Unless you can afford made to measure just get the biggest one, centre on the wall and paint the remainder so it acts as a border (depending in the image you may be able to trim the top and bottom so height wise it fits perfectly). If a mural isn't up his street try brick wallpaper and add street signs (you can get cheap vinyl ones if on a budget) or prints of whatever he's interested in. If he likes the blue (is he a chelsea fan?!) , paint the window wall in a soft grey/blue. If he doesn't maybe try navy or charcoal grey. Adding a throw ( a manly one!) and 1/2 cushions on the bed will help. If he likes the street signs idea you can get these or tube stations etc pretty cheaply or just add dark grey ones with a bit of texture....See MorePOLL: Yay or nay - open plan kitchens?
Comments (206)We are often approached by clients who are creating an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. To overcome some of the issues we make cabinetry which can hide away the usual clutter found in a busy kitchen. Bi-fold and pocketing doors are great in this instance as ovens and even sinks can be hidden away, making the cabinetry seem more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen. Our clients love being able to change the look of a space in an instance! It is crucial to make sure you choose your appliances carefully, i.e. a quiet dishwasher and a good extractor are of huge benefit here. As long as the space is thoughtfully planned there is no reason that it shouldn't work functional and aesthetically....See MoreMost impolite thing a guest can do?
Comments (88)We had a relative stay in our home for one night as she was moving on after, we live at the side of a railway line in a two bed ( everybody starts from somewhere) but we are used to this, a train only takes 30 seconds to pass so don't really notice it, my wife and I left for the day to go to work and left our guest to lock up on leaving, we had cooked the evening meal the night before and left her instructions on where everything was for breakfast. We both thought that all was fine until talking to another relative and found out that she would never stay with us again as she got no sleep due to the trains, walls were so thin she could hear everything inc plumbing noises heating kicking in and so on, and to this day she has not been back!...See MoreHU-118000932

4 years agoWell, currently he's 4 and still sleeps in a toddler bed (150x70cm) against the top wall.
The 'niche' against the bottom wall is the only place we can fit a 'big bed', and it's just 2005mm.. Fortunately there's 98cm between wall and window, so a frameless bed would hopefully fit. Otherwise I'll have to build some sort of chest, 38cm deep, to come flush with the chimney, but then the bed would have to go to the left because of the radiator, preventing the wardrobe door from opening.. I don't want the bed to go sideways in front of the window, for it will need to much floorspace, as the top wall is the only place we can put a desk (or trofast boxes for now).. On the left we've already placed an open bookcase (billy) and 100+50cm wardrobe (pax 40cm deep). The chimney has a concrete base sticking out, which we can't remove, so have to work around that too. Already lifted up the bookcase on top of it, closed off the bottom part.
