Thanks, Alys

Hello

Unfortunately this piece was the clients own which they had procured a long time before we worked with them.

I am sorry that I cannot be of more assistance on this occasion.

Kind Regards

Mia

Hi Mun, I would suggest pushing your bed up so the head end is against the wall too. This way you'll have a larger amount of space at the end of the bed. You could have a free standing floor lamp in the corner at the end of your bed to give some lower down lighting in your room which would give a cosier feel. Grey curtains would look really nice, make sure they're made from a nice heavy material to give a luxury feel to the room. Some artwork, maybe a print or two, would break up the white wall space and give the room a more lived in feel. Hope this helps a little, good luck!

Ikea have a headboard which you can fit behind your own bed and eliminate the bedside units gaining more space for nightstand use and quilt storage underneath. It will give you some more privacy from the window too. Eventually a roman blind would be more appropriate too. The remaining wall at the side of the window can be used for hanging shelving like the ikea kallax. Open the space visually by simply adding a larger mirror to a side wall and hang hats scarves and even coats on pegs along the opposite wall. Use the space above the entryway door for shelving or closed cupboards and fit in a corner wardrobe. If you can remove the door or get it to swing outward. If you consider changing the bed for an underbed storage one it must have a hydraulic mechanism otherwise it is a nightmare. But you can find some storage bags or boxes that slide under the existing bed - just measure properly and try to make the best of the space. Alternatively you could change the bed completely to a high up loft base with a ladder and have ample space beneath it. Check the ikea Stora and others too.

I am struggling to place furniture

I agree, the dining table and chairs are OK where they are; the problem seems to be with the sitting area. You should definitely bring in some plants and artwork/ photos. Perhaps put a 'gallery wall' of photos or art above where the sofa is currently. I would put low bookcases or perhaps a console table with lamps in against the walls in this corner and 'float' the seating furniture out, away from the walls. It may seem counter-intuitive but sometimes floating furniture more into the middle of an area can make it seem bigger, even if it means you can't walk straight through in a beeline to the kitchen. I think the main problem with the space is that the large through-way is actually dominating the space and making the centre of the room feel vacant. Experiment with rearranging the sofa and chairs to see what works best. Be bold and bring it right out into the middle and, if that doesn't work, take it further back. You may be surprised at what works well. It's also nice to put the sofa and chairs sort of facing each other (you could angle the chairs a little if you like. You could even angle the sofa!). I read somewhere recently that if furniture is placed in a 'conversational' position, it will seem more inviting and will encourage sociability.

Houzz competition I know the deadline has passed but I would like for you to see this. (The photos are not uploading properly) As embarrassing as it has been for myself and my mum; over the course of my life, I have lived in such a beautiful neighbourhood in the Blackfriars area for over 22 years and the only renovation or decoration that was done was in our kitchen by the council which was lovely. We also got a really nice gentleman to fix our blinds in the kitchen for us however only one side was done because he mentioned that the measurement was not accurate for the other window area so for months one side has been an open view which at times I don't mind, but everyone loves privacy from time to time. When it comes to the rest of the house - 1. The corridor - the walls are damaged by paint and mould so the walls feel quite rough with cracks which at times Ive hurt myself with small scratches... the corridor is sky blue but I also imagined my corridor in a yellow/magnolia colour with white borders and my mum even bought the paint but till now it was not done. 2. The doors in the corridor that lead to each room are off white and the doors don't shut properly anymore. 3. The toilet is separate to the bathroom it's really old and green colour is very boring, the toilet itself is faulty, the wall between the toilet and bathroom by the window is quite thin so it has ripped a little bit. The pipes are cracked and the mould is showing and I was thinking to get the council to wrap it up in some kind of polystyrene wrap. 4. The bathroom has ABESTOS around the window area as the ventilation is so bad and because the window is high up it is quite hard to reach to always open and close it. The bathroom was repainted white at one point but the colour didn't stay for long. Now it's mouldy and black. The pipes are bad and mouldy and the sink area is cracked around. I had an idea of painting it with the theme white and gold accessories or blue white and gold (which my mum purchased blue paint) but we never got around to doing anything. The bath itself sounds like it's about to fall through and many times there have been leaks downstairs into my neighbours flat. The council just used a cardboard/wooden barriers to cover the bath. 5. The front room had wallpaper before and was painted over. Now, on one side of the room a little bit of the wall paper is coming off very randomly as if it's shrinking (I don't remember taking off anything). The carpet was taken off completely but nothing was done to it. This area has become store space too (due to clutter and books). We have some nice brown/gold curtains which I visualised my living room to have a boutique type elegant brown/gold/cream theme. 6. Bedroom no. 1 has not been dealt with for years and so it has become a clutter room for clothes as well as the corridor. The room colour is sky blue but would love for this room to be an elegant green theme something classy for a mother. 7. Bedroom no. 2 is a baby pink room with the intention of painting the room white with splashes of colour. I started taking some things out and taking out my bed area but it's not complete as you can see by the photos. Overall this interior design is definitely needed because of how long it has taken for the decor process to be done. This is the conundrum that is needed to be solved.
