Here's an idea .. Lighting could be put into the square niche around the TV and picture lamp over the artwork in the dining area too . Colours and a big rug link the sofa and TV area and create a cohesion across the span of the room ... Hope you like it !

As Minnie says, not a fan of chalk paint on furniture, it has it's places, but for a washable surface with kids around it's a big No No. It has to be sealed and then it doesn't look like chalk paint anymore - and, quite frankly it's a load of old B*** that it sticks to almost any surface - almost being the operative word there. You can paint ikea units. Scratch the surface with a fine grade sandpaper 120 grit....then use a good quality water based primer - we use dulux. ( one coat should be enough with dulux ) Then buy a waterbased satinwood paint - also our preference is Dulux Diamond Trade..............you can pick your colour off any of their colour cards. You have great flat surfaces, so if it were me i'd roller the top coat on with small gloss rollers. You may need to do more than two coats but it will give a better finish than using a brush. Don't over load the roller, don't worry too much about the small air bubbles, they flatten out when it dries and kind of gel together. x

Hi there! I would use the paper - it looks lovely behind the sofa and this is a big room that can take the pattern - you might find it difficult to fill with other things! Can you get matching roman blind made for the window? And maybe a plain silk curtain for the doors. The colours you’ve picked are light and fresh - perfect for a room well lit with natural light. You will probably need lots of lamplight in the evenings to keep it looking good. I would pick a light grey or beige for the other walls, that tones with the wallpaper and personally I would not go for a grey rug, I would brighten the floor area with a cream rug, not so practical, perhaps, but it will really give some love to the natural light in the room. If you have one central pendant it needs to be large, in proportion with the room. Hope this helps :)

So what are you asking exactly?
