Need your help!! Updating living room
Comments (6)Congratulations on the new house, looks stunning and full of charm! I'm guessing you want to keep the current furniture? If you do then there's still lots you can do while staying sympathetic to the character of the house. You said want to add your stamp to it. Why not have a bit of fun and run through some ideas about what you like, maybe inspired by an era, or style? Mid century, nautical, or even countries you have visited? Think about what time you'll be using the room, etc. Inject some quirkiness, through interesting patterns on your soft furnishings, rugs, and even the curtains. You could even think about re-arranging the furniture to suit you. Add some colourful pieces in the scarce rooms with a stylish ottoman or side tables on either side of the sofa with interesting and oversized lamps to add some symmetry, adding different layers of lighting will make the room elegant and stylish. Hope that's something to start with. Some pics below to inspire. Good luck! http://houzz.com/photos/14608425 http://houzz.com/photos/19031981 http://houzz.com/photos/1009642...See MoreNeed suggestions for my dining room
Comments (8)I would suggest a scandi scheme using predominantly white ( try clay based paint it is gorgeous and feels great ) but only washing the floor and door and table and chairs. Chose a standout colour - red, green or blue or all together but slightly less of. I would do one curtain if you absolutely have to have one, that can be pulled to the side, but when open is more of a flat hanging than a gathered fabric. I used a handmade, cotton, blue and white bedspread ( thank you Dog's Trust Charity shop ). Or you could consider a stripe(s ) incorporating your stand out colour or gingham. Get some stencils of reindeers and little houses and paint onto the back of your dining chairs, better still do them freehand. You could paint the legs of the table in your stand out colour. I would keep the chandelier although I cannot see it clearly because the lights are on. I would paint it using my stand out colour and then distress it with just a wash of white ( keep the brush almost dry and scrub all over randomly so you can still see your under colour and remove the present clutter around the bulbs. I would then hang all kinds of crystals and pretty things off it. ( not partcularly scandi I know but it would look great and you could change the hangings according to the season e.g. pine cones and other nuts and bits of greenery ( from garden or local woods and hedges ) or tiny ornaments that you and/or the kids have collected ( charity shops and boot sales good for collecting - you could have a theme, e.g. tiny animals etc. Or string up sweets in colourful wrappers. You could get a cloth type rug with your stand out colour in it. The dining room is your oyster. Go fish ! If you look up scandi style there is lots of stuff in Google images, amongst other places, to give you more ideas if you fancy the style. Ooops ! nearly forgot the dresser - essential in a scandi scheme and of course provides the storage you want, in cupboards and shelves. Good Luck and will you post your final room so we can see what you finally decided ? ! Cheers...See MoreCreative flair for dining room needed!
Comments (8)www.guigsart.co.uk Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up the 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…..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,...See MoreHelp with lighting for dining room and living room
Comments (4)In addition, you could also hard wire the table lamps and look at dimmable lights. There are various downlighters calculators online to check that you have sufficient lighting for the rooms purpose based on room size and ceiling height. Downlights don't need to be in a grid formation and you may want to look at lighting your cabinet and bookcase (or their replacement) for example. For the dining room I would choose the light based on the table i.e. If you're getting another long table maybe a linear light would work and make sure it's large enough for everyone to be able to see what they're eating! I've also attached a link for choosing bulbs https://www.pooky.com/inspiration/all-about-lighting/how-to-choose-a-lightbulb-the-complete-guide https://www.lyco.co.uk/advice/recessed-downlights-planning-the-perfect-layout/...See MoreLinda Mayo
