Hi Alison and Rob, What an exciting project you're undertaking - it's great you're starting to think about the finishing touches already. As Pavilion Broadway have already mentioned, shutters are a great choice. Because they can be made to fit almost any shape you really can make a statement with your lovely feature window, rather than having to cover it up just because you'd like it to be dark at night. As for privacy, shutters with louvres will be your best bet. You can tilt these easily, and even opt for a hidden tilt rod if you'd like a clean, uncluttered look. Good luck with your project, and please let me know if I can be of any more assistance. Kind regards, Zoe

Hi Jess, Blending the traditional with a fresh twist could really elevate the space. Considering the room’s neutral palette and your preference for avoiding an all-grey scheme, why not introduce soft pastel or jewel tones through textiles and accents? Incorporating your blush chair and dressing table adds a personal touch and aligns with the Victorian/Edwardian cosy theme. You could also layer in rich textures like velvet or wool to bring warmth and depth, and consider classic wall panelling or floral motifs to tie in those period details you love. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your new home!
