Too much wood everywhere
Comments (26)Sorry to jump in here, (hope its ok guys!) I just genuinely thought that you could just change the whole feel of that room by just removing the timber blinds and replacing them with something lighter. The big heavy square of timber so high up the wall creates a really heavy room and acts like a focal point. Window furnishings can be expensive, but they don't have to be! Just imagine the room with something much lighter and or softer in that direction and I think the rest of the room will feel much easier to deal with. I love the fire place and think the floor is quite warm. You could paint just the chairs to match the lighter colour of the new blinds (just an idea to save on cost). Hope that isn't confusing in amongst the other comments! Good luck!...See MorePOLL: How much velvet is too much velvet?
Comments (15)One either loves velvet or hates it, there isn't really a middle ground here. Colour and texture is everything - same piece in subtle, smooth tones can be absolutely spectacular, but change it to frenzy busy pattern in loud colours and you can end up with kitsch written all over it. It generally depends what you are aiming for and the room you want to use it in. I find velvet particularly good for classic and eclectic styles. Velvet, just like tweed is timeless and can really bring a design together or simply ruin in, so use it wisely "young Jedi's" ;) All being said, we love it!...See MoreF&B Breakfast Room Green in a breakfast room. Too much?
Comments (35)Firstly, Happy New Year fellow Houzzers! Hope 2019 is happy, healthy and generally good for everyone. Want to again pass my thanks to you all for all the responses, advice and inspiration. Without you I don't think we would have got to where we have with the room. As you may have guessed, I am updating the thread because we have finished it (mostly!). The jury is still out on painting the dresser as I don't want 'matchy-matchy' so I am going to live with it for a while as it is. We absolutely love the room and it is beautiful in the morning light. The wallpaper is the Sanderson Chiswick Grove Sage, the paneling and skirting is in F&B Breakfast Room Green eggshell, the ceiling in a pure trade white with the doors and cupboard in F&B James White eggshell. All the woodwork too 4 coats to cover the sanded orange varnish. :( The curtains are the old Ikea things we had up so I need to decide on what to replace them with (they got paint on them so need to go). My lovely sister gave me a really nice brass chandelier so the old light will go too. Also thinking about a jute/sisal rug for under the table, anything patterned would be too much I think. At some point I will replace the black Ikea lamps too. But at the moment they are doing a job. I don't want the lighting to be too old fashioned as the room would go a bit chintzy I think. Hence the lamps on the sideboard looking a bit more modern. Here are some pics if you are interested. :) Cheers all. :)...See Morenew floor, new wall.......would painting the long wall blue be too muc
Comments (10)Wow that looks amazing and such an improvement. I bet you’re really pleased with it. We’ve all been following your progress and it sure looks good. The floor looks great too. Now I would say yes, paint that long wall in De Nimes too, it goes so well with your leather sofa. You can then add art, shelving or both. Well done....See More- 3 months ago
