I know what you mean and yes it would be great to get the stair case in and I will defiantly do it at some point but it is a pretty big job and I dont want to be disturbing everyone my daughter starts school in September my partner works full time and I'm pregnant so having renovations done now seams a lot and we've only been back to normal after the upheaval of living in temporary accommodation for 4 month after the floods while my house was getting done. Realistically we should of done the stair case then but it added a bit of extra time into being able to come home and after 4 month we were ready for home and our lease was up on the temporary house so we were working to a deadline. There is a stair gate at the bottom of the ladder as it sits on 2 steps so safely wise it's not a problem and I do have toys hidden away in different areas of the house so if they want to play in an other room they can. Logistically I can't see a reason why it won't work but decor wise it's a challenge.

I popped into the new Paint Store on the way home - it’s huge and has all the high end ranges in stock including wooden samples of all their colours. It was dark when I left (Could have spent another hour in there) but managed to limit myself to 4 colours - Pale powder, Skylight, Teresa’s Green and LG Salix.! I also asked for the JohnStones paint card - I was in the wrong store! Their shop was next door and Crown colour centre was next to that. Totally missed those two - I was in Nicholls and Clarke paint centre! Now it’s too dark to see how the samples look. Thsnks for all your help today.

You have plenty of storage, so that’s good! Nice floor too. I would put doors on the two doorless cupboards too. Painting the room one cohesive colour would be good too. Does he have a favourite colour? I’m thinking a mid grey or navy would look nice but it depends what way the room faces - grey in a north facing room can be grim. I think a desk in front of the window would be good, giving good light. Here’s some teen rooms that may inspire you!
