What would you do with the oak panels in my dark hall?
Comments (51)We have the same type of panelling in our hall and it was oak the same as yours with an oak floor. It just started to feel quite dark and drab but we hesitated to to do anything for fear of messing it up. In the end we painted all the panelling in Farrows French grey, left the doors and floors wood and painted the sides of our staircase and the spindles in Farrows clunch but left the newel posts and the bannister rail as wood - looks like a different hallway - I have never regretted painting it...See MoreAny ideas on what to do with my drawing room please?
Comments (10)What a great room! Those French doors with a view of the garden should definitely be the focal point, they are truly stunning and they are framing perfectly the garden which will look great when it's done! What I would start doing is to remove the carpet, you might already have some original wood floors under there but if not I think it could be worth investing in that. The heater is also bugging me... Maybe you could replace it or hide it behind a wooden case with similar paneling to the doors. Then I would remove the two low cupboards which make that side look a bit heavy and I suspect are not practical anyway. For the colours I would get rid of the wallpaper, repaint everything white including the ceiling and then you can start adding really subtle colours. For example I would perhaps paint the lower part of the walls (where your wallpaper is now) in a very light grey which will give a modern touch whilst not denaturing the heritage of the room. I really like the darker colour that is on some edges of the paneling of the doors and at the border with the ceiling so I would maybe choose a different colour but keep that concept which really draws attention to the original features. I would personally not add any new ones as suggested above as your room doesn't need it, it already has lots of character, Then for the layout you could, to accentuate the French doors as focal point, place two identical sofas facing each other with the space between them leading to the Frencg doors if you see what I mean. Then the rest is just accessorizing: a nice rug, some side tables and maybe a bigger pedestal-type table in front of the French doors with a big flower bouquet on top. You could choose as an accent colour (for accessories like cushions) something similar to the darker colour you chose to highlight the original features, this will tie it all in. Hope that helps and sorry for the long message, your room is very inspiring! Hutsly...See Morewhat colour do you think goes with brown sofa
Comments (7)Hello Ave Bird, we really like the pastel grey of your walls and how they fit with the sofa and pillos, it looks really comfy! Though we feel your room needs some lighter colours to liven it up and add to the cosiness a touch of brightness. We think light blue curtains would wonderfully lighten up the whole room. They blend beautifully with the color palette you already have and will give a fresh aura to your room. We would personally opt for ice or slate blue though sky, aqua or pastel blue could be amazing options too! We hope you can find the right color for your curtains and make your room sparkle up and become even more wonderful! Kind Regards, Opun...See MoreWhat would you do about this layout?
Comments (15)I don't think all the measurements can be right? especially that bottom L shaped room... I wonder whether something like this could work? (really depends on how wide those 2 bottom rooms are, otherwise knock them through?) You could obviously do loads more if you knocked out a lot more walls... and completely reconfigured the space as then in some ways your "only limit" is your budget! lol Loads of potential though I'd imagine.. may be worth having a look and trying get a feel for the place in real life? Could also potentially move the door to the smallest bedroom away from the front door, and onto the internal corridor.. or this? OR this?...See MoreMarty McFly
