Design Dilemma Home Decorating Lighting

Cotton ball lights look lost

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Hi! I bought some lights and need some help making them look more permanent. I thought maybe if they rest on a shelf or some decorative branches? Or perhaps tie in with a new bigger headboard? The only things that must stay are the bed, bedside tables and the mirror on the left

Yes needs a bigger, taller headboard, maybe painted metal with an open pattern so you could wind the lights round it?

So funny! I'm planning to paint the bannister at the new house (TNH) black and am veering towards painting the treads and risers black too... I've been searching for images of black staircases on Houzz and putting them in my entrance hall ideabook. They are few and far between. In your case, I think, with your white walls, maybe the stairs white and the bannister black? (Assuming the white walls continue up the stair walls enabling the b/w contrast.) You've already put black firmly into the equation, adding some more may give more reason for the black rad cab. In my case, there is a very off-centre radiator that could so very easily have been directly opposite the front door in TNH which is rather annoying as it stuffs up the focal point. We are leaving here with every radiator covered with a cabinet - and going to TNH that has loads of radiators ...but no cabinets! Yes, the work ahead is daunting - especially since the area of Ireland we're going to is very basic and not full of DIY resources, etc. I keep thinking I'll paint TNH white - to make things simpler(!) But try as I may colour keeps wandering through my mind! Lovely to be in touch again!

Hi. there looks to be 4 sets of pendant lights and the ŵall lights are going on the wallpaper ŵall? If so I might do away with this pendant and maybe think about downlights if needed as I think I can see a couple already. Also use table lamps as said before and use a rug to zone this area. If there's room you could also add a console behind the table

Thank you so much for all this info. Does anyone happen to have the colour mix code for a valsper sample tin. Took the codes today and they said they can’t scale the size down enough for a sample pot and obviously I want to try the colour in our lighting first?

Because the tables you have either side of the bed are different and with the mirror being set to one side, you really need to go with an 'offset' look to this room. Is there any particular reason you have bought the string lights ? Is it for extra light or just for decoration ?

Could you paint the back wall to bring it together...
