Hey all :) I’ve got some really beautiful prints, I’m just wondering if something is “missing”.. any help on what could bring it together? .. my partner will 100% not take any of the dog pictures down or his silverstone thing. The wooden frame will be changed to black TIA x

I’m a fellow print lover and have been switching out some of my black IKEA frames to different colours/materials via charity shop, secondhand and the framers.

Comments (16)Thank you everyone. I was sorry to hear about GGDrive's misfortune with the flood but really enjoy hearing all your opinions. I had granite in my previous house and it looked gorgeous but from a practice point of view, it cooled the food quickly if you didn’t remember to use a cork placemat and is very cold if you lean on it to chat over a cup of coffee. It was also tricky to keep shiny, despite the special granite polish. Quartz is pretty too but both options cost more than I paid for the base and wall units. I saw a very impressive and economical Formica with oak woodblock finish, but was hoping to have a KARNDEAN wooden style floor and having read the discussions on HOUZZ, think the two would fight each other. The kitchen is small by USA standards and in a U shape with satin white units. Shall I A)emphasise a Spring Oak Karndean floor and find plain Formica (slate pic) or B)have the oak effect Formica worktops (see oak pic) and chose a slate tile effect Karndean floor?

Comments (49)Thanks for all the ideas! Just to clarify I have blinds on the window but even with the blinds turned I feel like I'm not getting much privacy, hence the idea of having a wall or something else. Just like to have privacy without having to close the blinds. I also currently have a chest of draws opposite the wardrobe, just a cheap one from IKEA which gives me extra storage but I'm not crazy about it. After mocking up the back to back in 3D in floorplanner I think it's not the best option as it would reduce the amount of floor space and block a lot of light compared to having a long run against the wall. I like OnePlan's idea, I actually thought about that before but went off it as it wold feel more like walking into a wardrobe instead of a bedroom, plus I couldn't find any sliding doors that looked good from both sides and in budget. While I like the idea of wardrobes either side, I would only have about 1-1.5 meters on the left side, which might look a bit odd. I did try it with my current wardrobes and it made the room very dark but if I used white wardrobes it might look better. As you can tell I've been thinking about this for a while and I've gone through a lot of ideas. My main concern was with people's reaction to dividing the room and walking into the wardrobe first but I'm encouraged with the comments on here about that. The other concern is budget. I don't want to spend a crazy amount on it but I do want it finished nice. Thanks for all the ideas and comments :)...See MoreWhy does this corner look unfinished??
Comments (34)I think it looks amazing now you have moved the sofa. I agree with Jules, the footstool on the left is better as it breaks up the space between the kitchen and seating area. I would put a tall plant in though. This will help to lead the eye out into the garden which will make the space feel bigger. I would actually change the feature wall to a mirror as this will reflect in more light from outside and make the space feel bigger again. I think the world map wall decoration would lookabove the fire place, pictures and ribbon and all. I would also agree with the suggestion to change the curtain to something lighter. Note regarding the curtain rail this should either be just above the window line on just under the line of the ceiling. This helps the rail blend in with the existing lines instead of breaking up the space between the window and ceiling which makes the ceilings feel lower than they are. The kitchen and parkay flooring is to die for! Such an amazing space, I'm sure you're very proud!...See MoreHow does this mock-up look? Too much?
Comments (1)The mock up looks good! One word of advice to make the mock ups look as good in real life- keep the place tidy, when you first finish the decor of the rooms make sure you find a place for every toy, boom, remote control and make sure everything is kept in its place. It will make the rooms look more streamline and contemporary...See Morekeiblem

3 years agoHere’s some more pictures (please please ignore the ugly light I need to find a new one) but here’s my set up so far. I need to find some nice statement pieces (I’m thinking black and gold candle holders at different heights) for the shelf but at the moment we just have our candles on them
