Comments (3)Hi, We have some great advice on brightening rooms and colour schemes. As we can see from the photos you already have quite a neutral room colour, although the red may be darkening the room a little with the contrast of the dark furniture. How about lightening the room by getting rid of the red wall feature and carrying on with the neutral theme. Also by using lighter accessories (cream curtains) this will lighten your room. If you want to add more colour we suggest doing this through the use of accessories such as cushions and throws. Here are some ideas we think you may like: Let us know what you think and how you get on!...See MoreNeed help with my sitting room layout
Comments (9)Thank you all very much for your suggestions. The fireplace is basically to create a focal point in the room. I can't have a real fire or gas fire as there is no chimney. So the plan is to have an electric fire with dummy chimney breast. Marcin, Thank you for your comment. I agree with you I don't like the curtains either. We inherited them from the previous owners. So they definitely need changing. I'll be grateful to see a 3D model. Where is your email?...See MoreHelp needed for sitting room refurbishment
Comments (9)Hi Michael. Had a look at your idea books and I see you like a few elements of mid century modern design. That’s good news as this is very popular right now so you’ll be spoilt for choosing furniture and accessories:) Original pieces such as the Elbow chair by Hans Wegner and this table by West elm (see pics) can be expensive but there are a few replicas so worth shopping around. Have a look at second hand sites and shops as you may come across a genuine article from this era. I think best way to start is think what will be your most expensive purchase, could be the flooring, sofas, window treatment etc., then work around that. Paint colour is easy to change if needed. Also think about placement of furniture. I think a round table would look great in the window bay. Give the piano more prominence somehow with a large artwork above. Also think about lighting. Perhaps a huge drum shade for the central light and a floor lamp for cosy ambience. You may like the Hicks hexagon wallpaper from Cole and son as I see you like geometric designs and there are many similar designs. Anyway, hope I’ve helped a little, added a couple of random google inspo pics as well:)...See Morecaroline1852
