Victorian cottage sitting room before & after
Comments (0)This sitting room had not seen much love for many years and needed a complete refurbishment, which included concealing large plumbing pipes and a new solid oak floor. The 'after' pictures are actually the second time the room was redecorated, this time around a beautiful, green, velvet sofa. The more observant of you may also notice the recycling of the Klippan sofa with a different cover and throw!

Comments (0)The brief was to create a cosy and comfortable family sitting room in a room which is situated close to the kitchen but that, up until that point, had been rather redundant. They wanted the whole family (a couple with three children) to be able to sit comfortably in there together and for it to be appealing, cosy and practical in decor. The lighting was very poor with an ugly overhead pendant and a couple of wall lights. We removed the pendant, putting decorative wall lights on either side of the TV, shelf mounted lights on the shelving units and floor sockets under the sofa so lamps could sit on tables at either end of it wired into a 5 amp circuit that switched at the door. I also added a couple of picture lights. BEFORE: AFTER: A large TV was important to them and the only place to put it was above the fireplace. The existing surround was too high so the fireplace was replaced with a slightly lower and more simple limestone design. A large bespoke shelving unit was designed and built for the wall opposite the fireplace. This was painted so the interior was the colour of the walls and the exterior the colour of the rest of the woodwork in the room which looks very effective. There had been a radiator on this wall but this was removed and two low cast iron radiators were placed within the window reveal. They are all delighted with the new room and use it every day....See MoreBefore and After Bathroom Cheltenham
Comments (15)I agree with Patina I am afraid; by the by, it is worth knowing that these days you can buy a sheet porcelain tile which is 4mm thick and can be easily applied to existing tile finishes. They come in a huge range of finishes and the sheets range in heights up to @ 3,000+ x 1,200 mm. I had used these products in Russia and came across them again recently at the Clerkenwell Design week...See MoreAlix W
