Can you help me with an advice or solition for this part of the room (
Comments (12)Tip 1: Make sure the air quality in the basement is good, so air it during the day for 10 mins or so. Use a ambi pur plug in diffuser. The lavender ones smells strong and last the longest. You want people to enjoy the smell as they come in - it is inviting. Tip 2: The quality of light needs improving to invite as much natural light as possible. It looks like you have blind therefore some natural light comes in during the day so leave the blind completely open during daylight and close them as soon as it gets dark. I have blinds but also curtains because in winter it keeps the cold of the window coming in, in summer it keeps the light out when you watch TV and it makes a room feels homey. Curtains don't have to be expensive. Add lush plants and look after them very well. If you don't have a green finger buy hardy plants but the foliage needs to go up (not droopy downwards), the leafs should be rounded or soft (peace Lilly) - No spiky plants indoors (they are good guardians for outside window sills only). Retain the energy of the room by placing a round crystal on a red thread hung from the ceiling close to the window (50 cm or so) or just a beautiful chandelier (giving rainbow spectrum light) in the room. Your chi flows very fast from the stairs through the window so you are losing opportunities (if in the north, it is your career opportunities, in the SE it would be your wealth etc). Tip 3: For colors I would find what compass direction your window is facing to choose the color for the curtains as follows: North: silver, white, gold, blue, black (negative: pink, brown or yellow) South: reds, pinks, greens (negative: earthy colors like skin tone, aquatic colors). East and South east: blues, greens, browns. (negative: grey, silver, gold) West and N. West: silver, white and gold, pink, yellow, brown, metallic colors (avoid: reds, orange, blue, black. N. East and S. West: love colors, earth orange, reds, for S. west. green, earth brown, (avoid wooden tone of browns, wooden tones of yellow, metallic colors like grey, silver or white). Remember though too much of the same colors will make you a dull person. Pink can be used anywhere by the way. You don't have to change your sofa - if the wrong color, compensate by putting a touch of the right color with cushions, carpet, throw. I don't recommend leather sofas, especially not a red one or you will have problems at work. Position the furniture to enhance conversation in a kind of circle, pentagon shape. So add two more seats (always even number preferably). Put the table in the middle of the carpet when you finish using it. The energy flow needs to go around everywhere. Get organised and put homework, papers in a box a pretty one which you can use as a table for a nice oval bowl in which you can keep your remotes in. Don't stick sofas or furniture in corners. Add a tall Halogen lamp (nearest to natural sun light) in the corner between the wall and sofa . Choose a shade fit for the compass direction. Contrast a bit to have yin (calming energy ) and yang (vibrant energy). TV should not be the focus of the room - conversation is. Don't make it central. Tip 4: Carpet the stairs - expensive underlay, shiny carpet or two tones carpet to keep it interesting and put a safety panel wood or glass Do not go for stripes (encourages arguments). A lush plant at the bottom of the stairs to keep the energy going to fast. Put a light under the stairs, have an office there for example. Tip 5: Add romance - Place a pair in the S. West for love. Place candles in the South or bright lamp. Where you are dining put on the table a bowl of fruit and a mirror on the wall reflecting the table with the fruit. This is to represent abundance/wealth. The mirror needs to be framed and flush to the wall. A mirror needs to always reflect something nice. If you reflect paperwork you will have more work. Tips 6: Houzz has thousands of living rooms/dining room - get inspired. Velvet, throws add luxury, good lighting adds warmth, a whisper carpet in the right tone would be lovely. Jan will bring sales. Tip 7: Canvases are reasonably prices. You have a big room so you can have two or three. Bring nature in with landscape (not sad or lonely), choose inviting, cheery, romantic. The dancing theme on your is good. If you can afford it go for a wall mural with a beautiful scenic image. Trees, beach (open window mural), New York skyline, blossoming pink trees, https://www.transformawall.co.uk/shop/product/atlantic-ocean-coast?cid=181# Tip 8 One of the most important tip is keep the place tidy, keep it spotless and do this often. Cleanliness is next to godliness we say. This also applies to your car and patio. Good energy flow will bring luck. I won't cure you or diseases or make you rich but it will make your dreams come easier to you. Get rid of any clutter. This is the biggest fault to a lot of bad luck in peoples lives. You don't need hundred of socks - 10 should be enough. You don't need 30 dresses, 30 pairs of shoes. Have a few, buy one, get rid of one. Never keep things for just in case I need it. Making room will actually make sure that when you need it you can buy it. Spread good karma, give to the needy. The runner on the table is good - it soften the sharp edges. It may even look like you have a kitchen at the back - all open? No doors? That should give you a start. Places like Wayfair.com or lightinthebox will give you good prices for what you need. Good luck. Val...See MoreColour ideas for accessories and soft furnishings. Please help
Comments (7)Hi Loula, I would probably start with a geometric rug in grey and white. A shape mirroring that of the chair detailing. This will also still be crisp and contemporary like the rest of the space. Cushions in white will help tie the colours throughout the space rather than just having blocks of it. A large piece of art of work in the same colours on the wall behind the dining table would really work.. maybe a peaceful seascape to add a bit of tranquillity to an area for relaxing. Finish with a few accessories on the table and beside the TV to help bridge the gaps. Grey is a great contemporary colour that will work well with the scheme you have started. You now just need a few more layers to really bring it to life. At the end, as Liz suggested, you could add a single punch of a great colour to add a little warmth - my suggestions would be burnt orange or a deep rich purple. We offer single room design and/or great sourcing packages if you need help further help. Feel free to drop me a message and we can go through it in more detail. Otherwise, I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing the final room! All the best, Gina...See MoreHelp. Overdone the grey colour in this room
Comments (37)Sorry I didn't see your message. The first one is a little dear. Swoon editions and la redoute also do a parquet topped one though and are considerably cheaper if you're on a bit of a budget. The second is a faux shagreen which would also add the warmth with the texture and brass. It's also available at Alexander and pearl for the same price but I didn't check either of their delivery costs. I meant to do all the walls in a warm white with a hint of grey. Have you considered perhaps some DIY panelling under the dado? https://shrops-design.co.uk/products/parquet-starburst-coffee-table?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=7118014788&gclid=CLG4h6mGztECFcGVGwodTJMKXw https://www.turnbullandthomas.co.uk/faux-ostrich-leather-coffee-table?gclid=CJ2r6rOGztECFccp0wod7g0GZg...See MoreWhat colour for my porch
