What's missing?
Comments (25)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up your area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece etc…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk...See MoreWhat's missing from this room?
Comments (16)I think you're in danger of mixing warm colours (wooden tones of a table, brown leather and beige walls) with cool colours (curtains with grey in them, purple rug). Those cushions in the photo above are gorgeous - but they are all blue-undertones (therefore cool) colours so I think they'd be compounding the problem. Room needs a lift so I'd go with a cream rug, with a pattern on it. Rich texture on it (no shoes in your sitting room from now on!) and big enough for the chair and the sofa to sit on it (ideally, all on it - yep, that big) completely. At the very least - to have the front legs of sofa and chair on it. Size adds richness and cohesion - I thought of this "Diamond Shaggy Rug" from M&S - http://www.marksandspencer.com/diamond-shaggy-rug/p/p22329608 Also - that blank wall where a fireplace used to be. the room has no welcoming focal point - could you at least fit a fire surround and knock into the chimney to create a hole for flowers, stacked logs or the like? Alternatively - put a small console table there with some slim lights on it and some decorative items - not too many. Plus a great picture or photo above it. Lighting looks sparse (i.e. non overhead lights). Can you manage a slim side table next to the left (as you look at it) side of the chair? Agree about smaller coffee table. Hope that sparks some ideas but I think you're biggest wins would be a large, large textured cream rug and some kind of focal point on chimney breast. Oops one final point which you MUST do: the chimney breast has no air vent in it - this is against Building Regs and must be inserted as a safety measure and to ensure you don't get damp. If you do nothing else, get that done ASAP. Regards Denise...See MoreWhat's missing in this kitchen?
Comments (21)I don't think colour is the issue, it's tone that is lacking. Convert the image to black and white and it will look a bit insipid. The bank of cupboards where the fridge is would have benefited form being a dark colour, the pendants are nice but need to be much lower and the wall cupboards look a little high with gaps. I actually think the rug works well and would add more things with character. The splash back would have been more dramatic if perhaps teal tiles were used instead of glass....See Morewhat is missing? after renovation
Comments (25)I think the room is most of the way there but for me there are a couple of hard elements that need softening and a couple of things that I think are not sitting so well. I think that the floor and sofa are quite hard looking. A rug under the dining table and a sofa throw could help. Personally I would choose bigger rugs to cover more floor as I think the colour is less contemporary than the rest of the room. I think a couple of oversized house plants could help too. In my opinion the overhead lighting is a little harsh and you should add some table and standard lights. Personally I would prefer to see curtains that match the front windows, behind the dining table. I would remove the picture rail that seems to circle only half the room. I also think that the cabinets would have more presence if against a darker coloured wall and wall mounted so the taller cabinets would be window height....See More- 2 years ago
