What should I do with the red wall in my living room?
Comments (51)Pam Gascoyne Hi Tom, As the focal point of the room is quite definitely the fireplace perhaps you should start with making something welcoming and eyecatching be it with candles, fake but really convincing burning gas coals in the grate or even good lighting it needs to really glow. The room is not really huge and perhaps keeping the walls light with, say, a warm very light grey with similar colour linen curtains or white venetian blinds would lighten the whole room and white bookshelves would be really excellent. A rug is essential but keep it cool too like the John Lewis multi stripe grey/neutral. A print or prints are a good idea and with the neutral scheme you could have anything you liked and pick out a pop of colour from the artwork and add to the cushions. The mirror is definitely too big and too gold. If you want to keep it hang it landscape and tone it right down dry brushing silver leaf over the gold but it’s a good place for a striking piece of artwork you like. Good luck Tom and enjoy your new room when it’s finished....See MoreBay window with a radiator, what should I do??
Comments (8)Depends what you are using the room for? What do you need in that room? Sofas/armchairs/table/dining table? We have a similar bay window in our lounge, 5m x 5m room but we have nothing at or against the window. Just 2 sofas/coffee table/lamps in the room...See MoreWhat flooring should I do?
Comments (11)Beautiful room so far. I would also suggest a wooden floor of some sort - probably a mid oak shade.. Have a look round and even bring some samples home to try if you can. Don't worry too much about having different woods as the floor needs to be something you like, being a large area. A nice grey rug with a touch of turquoise to match your armchair would be good but keep the pattern subtle. Once you get your sideboard for the children's toys it will look lovely. If this is the only living room, perhaps a tasteful small table and chairs for the children would be useful at the far end? Its always good to contain their stuff in one area. Alternatively, Ikea do some cute children's armchairs in a grey fabric that would match the style of your adult chair that would look amazing as well. The rug and cushions will add cosiness without clutter. Good luck:)...See MoreFirst impressions- what do I plant here?
Comments (6)I think low growing plants would be best as I would worry that larger shrubs may spread and damage your lovely wall. There are lots of plants that can cope with shade such as Ferns, Bergenias, some Geraniums, Hydrangeas and Anemonies. Go to the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) website and search for plants suitable for shade. You won’t get quite the colourful impact of a sunny border, but near enough....See MoreLou Ella
