First the good news - terraces are brilliant and make for a really interesting garden space. The bad news is that the rendering looks to be a fairly poor job; see the edges not finished properly - opening the render up to premature decay. Damp is accumulating at back of steps because they do not have a forward gradient for run off, visible lines of block work underneath probably means that no scratch coat was applied before the top coat, so cracks like those on the top wall may well spread. Also I cant see any drainage holes in the walls, so damp might build up behind them and this might be the cause of the paint peeling on the middle steps. The tiles/slabs that have been placed on top of them are not really coping stones - so you will always get dirty water run off marks where the the pointing gaps are between them. Proper coping can be butted up very tightly so there is no joint for the water run down, also they have a drip grove underneath so that water cannot run back via surface tension down the walls. Depending on how seriously you want to make this a quality garden that will last for years you need to decide if you'd like to make the structural aspects thoroughly sound, before thinking about colours of walls, btw, If you paint the walls a dark colour it will make the garden feel smaller imo, otherwise you could plant and landscape and be faced with crumbling render ruining it. I'd get the ivy off of the fence on the left, it is making the space in the foreground feel much smaller and may be obscuring a rotten fence. You can get summerhouses with the shed bit built onto the back - accessed by a side door, which would preserve your route to back gate. Even better - commission a bespoke structure to make the most of your space. I'd ditch the grass (hassle to mow in restrained spaces, hauling mower up and down) and have seating/hammock areas on each terrace using lots of diaphanous plants like Phyllostachys and Genista aetnensis, Psuedopanax, grasses, or columnar plants. I'd freeform plant (without 'borders') through aggregate mulch - slate/gravel base augmented with drifts of cobbles/flints/shells ect. Sorry for the ramble but thorough assessment of structure before the fun bits can pay off.

Sofa and living room dilemma
Q
Comments (17)
Oh dear, so many votes for changing the door! I really think we've left it too late. We're due back in next week...this is why you should think of living room layout at the start of a project! Ultimately, the middle (darkest) room will be the t.v room - don't know if this changes anything?but for the next few years it'll be a playroom so we can shut the door on the smallies' mess. My husband always wanted to close up the door on this front room but I resisted as I liked the idea of entering the rooms separately. Was I wrong? We are a family of 5 with extended family visiting frequently so quite a lot of seating required. It seems that if I'm not willing to move the doors at this stage, then my least bad option is the corner sofa under the window, TV in opposite corner, perhaps with one door always shut into the playroom (there will be glazed panels at the top of this door so luckily light can still get through). The lady in the sofa shop suggested then placing perhaps a table and lamp in the bay, is this the best we could do? To add to the pressure, there's a sale on the large sofa, reduced by 1k, but only until the end of the week! So not much time to look into option of built-in day-bed. Thanks so much for all your advice!

I am trying to make an Orange sofa work in my living room.

Hi Dawn, Copper accents are a lovely idea. Have you seen the Orient Lamp from Lightyears? It's quite a statement piece, but it would tie the room together. Orient Copper Pendant Lamp Another more subtle option might be the Cloche table lamp, which comes in a polished brass shade. Wrong London Cloche Lamp This orange Lune sofa is a punchy, warm colour. Fritz Hansen have got several photos of it with different styled interiors. In this one, they used several accent colours on the wall, and a fantastic metallic line across. Lune Sofa - 3 seater Suspence Pendant Lamp For a more poppy, fresh look, Stouby have styled their Ayo sofa with a lime throw. Bringing in bright colours is easier with an already bright sofa - they stand out in contrast to the orange sofa, but the grey walls balance them. Ayo Sofa Although this room features a lot of grey, it is warmed up by the pairing of the Lune sofa and the artwork above it. The coppery shades work really well with grey. Lune Sofa - 3 seater The artwork reminds me of the Eskimo Rusty Radiator - see if you can spot the radiator in this photo! The lovely copper patina looks more like a piece of art. Eskimo Outline Rusty Radiator Then for rugs, Kasthall has a fantastic range of handwoven rugs that can be configured in any size or colour. Here's a couple of long pile, textured examples: Ines Rug Moss Rug Do post some photos of the sofa, and your room when you're ready. Looking forward to seeing it! Phoebe
