Inserting some colour
Comments (6)You should take this opportunity to pull your colours together. Decide on your new shade (mulberry, peonie, any of those lovely muted pinks might work - it's impossible to dictate an exact shade from a photograph) then hit your local department store or fabric shop to find patterned fabrics that feature your grey / eaux de nil / muted pink spectrum. If you don't find any one fabric that works, don't worry, pick a couple and have them made into cushions using strips of both fabrics. I similar idea is to have curtains in one fabric, trimmed in another. And lastly, because you will have chosen a flower-pink, you can indulge in fresh flowers in your bedroom! Have fun....See MoreNeed advice on flower pattern in daughter's room, is it too much?
Comments (3)I think this will be fine, generally you can mix florals. If you were to introduce anything else maybe pick up the stripes, birds or butterflies that are in the pattern ( or the stars if you also have the sheets). If you wanted a cheap update add some butterfly vinyl ŵall stickers over the headboard. I'd buy a couple of extra sets whilst there on sale, as she gets older maybe you could then change the walls to either the soft white or duck egg that are in the pattern to give it a different feel with a birdcage pendant for example....See MoreToo many patterns in living room?

Comments (13)Wow thanks so much for all of the comments - much appreciated. I think I liked the wallpaper I posted so much that I allowed it to cloud my vision of what would work! I think I am going to stick with painting the walls and putting up some midcentury style pictures. Perhaps when someone eventually spills something on the ottoman I'll get rid of the geometric theme and replace it with Orla Kiely patterns! The larger stem wallpaper is a good idea although having seen a sample I think the pattern feels too big for my living area. I might put some wallpaper up elsewhere....See MoreVictorian gas fire insert...?
Comments (6)There will most likely be a gas pipe running under the floorboards to that gas supply. You need a gas engineer to re route that gas pipe slightly so it terminates at the fireplace itself (not sure why it doesn’t already tbh). Hopefully this can be done via a cellar or crawl space rather than lifting the floor, however if boards do need lifting it probably won’t be many. Then you need something like a Nu Flame gas fire (like a black box which sits in the grate) as mentioned above. Nu Flame is a good brand, not the cheapest out there but good quality I’m told. Again gas engineer needs to install this....See MoreSonia
