I would recommend looking at sites such as wwww.soundstop.co.uk & contact them for expert advice! This is also a priority for us when we refurb our property as we are in the same position. Regards Karl

Oh she's nearly 8 and a bit of a tom boy really. I should also probably have mentioned that this room is also shared with her younger 5 year old sister, who is more of a princess girl. I had hoped to create some symmetry in the room so ideally I need to find a balance that works for both girls. Wall art stickers could work well. Thanks!

Firstly check where dump comes from. No point in replacing the floorboards if then there is too much moisture. Replace all damaged floorboards and make sure joists are sound and stable. Then you can add a damp proof membrane over the pine floorboards. Then you can add the underlay and the floating hardwood flooring on top. Solid wood flooring is the worst option in areas where there is moisture. We strongly recommend quality engineered flooring instead. This is a rather complex job if done properly. The installation of the damp proof membrane is crucial obviously and to do a good job you should remove the skirting boards. damp proof membranes are available from may retailers https://www.screwfix.com/p/capital-valley-plastics-ltd-damp-proof-membrane-black-1000ga-4-x-25m/88322 and all have more or less the same specs. The DPM is indeed required to damp proof anything above the structural floor. There is nothing you can do on the structural pine board other than making sure there is no water leakage and there is good ventilation. hope this helps

Hi Suzie, I'm happy to help! If you sand the doors and use a good wood primer you can use the same paint. Then you can wax over the top. A matt finish will be nice and contemporary looking and feel more natural. Glad you like the idea for the knobs, I think it'll be cute! try to add some soft furnishing and accessories with some orange for a pop of colour and use the grey from the carpet too to tie it all together. It'll be great.
