Too much yellow on too many walls
Comments (3)White, black, chocolate, and strangely enough also stone/ pale taupe ( in small quantities) are looking well with the newly yellow walls in our sitting room, metals used in the room are gold and some antiqued brass: both warm like the yellow itself. But also I have seen bursts of orange looking good with yellow on Houzz. Or more traditionally blues and whites have always looked well with yellow....See MoreToo many styles
Comments (26)I love your style. If you are after industrial, geometric style then you do great. With the minimalist style if I was you I would ask myself e.g.: How many chairs I have got in the dining room and why? Answer: because I am having bigger family, or friends around, (or simply) I really like that table with that amount of the chairs. That is all great. Now - how many lights I have got in the dining room and why? Answer: because I don't know what else to put there or where else to put the lights and I like them. OK, do you really like it? If yes, leave it there, but if you feel like there is something not quite right about it, like light on the table while there is light from the ceiling, take one out (of course the ceiling light is absolutely gorgeous). As minimalist I wouldn't want anything which doesn't do any purpose, so dry flowers would go all out of my house. In your case I would use on the table long tray of succulent. It will make the room feel fresh (instead of dry). Or if you like fruit, I would put a large probably metal, glass, or porcelain bowl with fruit on in (avoid wooden container on wooden table). Very large rug under the table would soften the feel too, but if you prefer dining area without rug a have rug by the sofa (which that would be my choice) I I would put a large, textured, but simple tapestry on the wall and maybe large clock on the opposite wallpapered wall. In any room I would avoid flowers in the vase and instead I would get nice, large indoor plants, which are easy to look after (they are not that expensive too and make the home feel so fresh and alive/living....See MoreAre dark blue walls too dark for a dark bedroom with minimal light?
Comments (13)If you’re looking for dark blues, look at Craig and Rose’s Payne’s Grey. Despite the name it is actually the most beautiful shade of deep blue with a hint of grey. I spent months agonising over blues but then got fed up in lockdown and got the Payne’s Grey, despite worrying that it would be too grey for such a dark corner. it is the perfect colour, and I’m looking forward to using it on walls elsewhere. It’s also usually cheaper than F&B and similar if not better quality....See MoreSmall semi help…packing too much in?
Comments (26)Definitely swop the dining and living room and open up between the kitchen and dining room to create one larger more open area, which would probably be used more than a separate dining room tucked away at the side through the living room. However, if the dining room is not utilised much - perhaps double that up as a study otherwise the house interior will not feel as if you have added any space, just a series of small rooms. If the small study remains at the front, with a window - maybe you would not need a sky light especially if you are looking at a computer screen in there - I also think that a glass roof over a corridor would be adding ££££ to the building costs. To create more space where it is tight - consider pocket doors rather than conventional opening doors....See MoreDana M
