Although your room does have large windows and plenty of natural light, I would still sway towards a light neutral colour scheme for the majority of the room.

I see you have Navy in your Kitchen, this on your chimney breast would be a great feature and help with your flow through your ground floor. Farrow and Ball, 'Hauge' is a very sophisticated feature colour, along with 'Cornforth White' to neighboring walls.

Should you need help with your design/layout, feel free to mail me for further assistance - kerrybryaninteriors@outlook.com

Thanks Kerry, I do like the cornforth colour and was thinking that line of colour for the majority of the walls. A friend suggested adding a mustard colour to the chimney breast to reflect the curtains. This idea completely confused me - any thoughts?

Window shopping and lots of online browsing.! .haven't purchased anything yet!. Just getting house back in order after painting! I have put back the red/winey curtains that I previously had up...convinces me more to go with a neutral colour. The walls are rich Taupe but with a slight grey hue off them so I think the bottom left above actually might work. I have bedding very similar so I took them out and held up and think it would look very nice. Purple isn't a theme in my house (although I do have one bedroom painted purple/lilac) My sitting room is white red black and silver and living/kitchen room is tan and red. I want a rug that wont show up the dirt that much...I live in the country side and have lots of dirty feet coming in so I cant go for any rug that is too light in colour

That's a very good idea Christy, I actually have two white roses that are climbers but I will probably have to improvise on the trellis (link on an idea of DIY that would allow me to paint the frame purple as the edge of the flower beds http://houzz.com/s/m=7/u=L3Bob3Rvcy8yNjIwMjcz). Thank you Christy, really helpful advice!

Try finding a curtain in green and purple. They are opposite on the color wheel and look fabulous together. I think it will add the vibrancy you seek. Go to Houzz photos and type in keywords purple and green curtains to see what I mean.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Are the curtains staying? If so It would be nice to choose one of the colours from the many within the curtains as an accessory and chimney breast colour. However, Colours like Yellow can be quite overwhelming so personally, I'd sway toward the 'Hauge' Blue as this works well with the 'Mustard' Yellow (from your curtains).
