What colour to bring in ?
Comments (1)Hello jkhmcd, Colours can largely depend on what you are buying appliance wise.. I always go for and suggest robust chrome.. Free standing chrome range, with Dualit toaster, it's the most beautiful toaster ever and an iconic piece of design.. and complimentary kettle .. Dualit do a nice one too called architect.. I have done a lot of consulting on what brands and best design so the dualit is an all time favourite!! I don't know what the spout is like on the kettle and you'd want to go and try it out maybe but there's a couple of my must haves.. Chrome for me makes a kitchen.. I'd move on to a chrome kitchenaid if baking is enjoyed.. For me it's on a big long list! One thing I do think is a no no... Coffee, tea and sugar canisters.. Personally I hate to see these things especially on the worktop.. .. I keep tea in the cupboard and coffee in the fridge.. Have things on show that are more functional, like a collection of wooden chopping boards, that sort of thing.. Minimal and sleek worktop keeps the kitchen looking really stylish.. Grey is a lovely colour, works with chrome and you could maybe team it with creams or darker colours if you like dark.. It's hard to suggest things here as I don't know if grey is on walls or cupboards or floor.. If you could say what is what, it's easier to advise.. For now thought... think Chrome!.. : ) )...See MoreNeed help with curtains
Comments (8)Hello there... I hope I can be of some help as I have almost an identical sitting room - I will just share with you my sitting room this year!! All the walls started out in Dulux Timeless colour so I wanted to add an accent colour- like you, I have one end of the room that is patio doors. So the opposite wall to those, I chose as an accent wall - I know a lot of people suggest not having an accent wall but perhaps having horizontal painted stripes of colour etc... But as I was doing the painting, I knew I would have made a real hash of that!! So the third pic is my first attempt at an accent wall - The Greene Paint company - colour Bassalt. This was nice but I just got bored of it - it worked well against the richness of the wood floor etc and was very much a statement but in a few months I just couldn't settle with it. After several coats of white I have now settled on Farrow & Balls colour Lamp Room Grey. I know this seems all very neutral, but from the second photo you will see I have gone for cream curtains with neutral vertical pom-poms - but, by doing all this, I can now change the accent colour in this room at the drop of a hat and quite importantly - INEXPENSIVELY! For instance, if I wanted to, for Xmas, if I was going to spend a lot of time in that room, I could a. Go for red and cream cushions and create a Scandinavian look! Or b. Go for silver beaded cushions and silver candle jars and have a winter wonderland look! And equally in the summer, I could go for pastel pink floral cushions and a vase of delicate roses to bring the garden into the sitting room or just keep it neutral with ivory roses and a hint of lime green. So my advice would be to keep the expensive things neutral and then you can alter the in expensive things as you go along. I also think one expensive piece in any room is a good investment - be it a huge oversized pewter bowl or a something similar - that again is neutral in colour but is a statement piece. Hope this helps!...See MoreInterconnecting rooms and paint colours
Comments (5)Hi, I love Victorian houses especially ones with original features. Is there also a fireplace in the lounge? I don't necessarily think you need exactly the same on both rooms. I this if the flooring is the same then you can create two different moods. Like you say if one get more light and has a large bay window then you will automatically get a very different feel. I would say that out of the colours you mentioned I would be more inclined to go with the grey tones in the front room. These would tie in tonally with the navy in the dining room. I would also follow the same theme with woodwork and mouldings etc. Perhaps you could be brave and introduce a bright accent colour in the front room like a lovely bright yellow/mustard colour. This would add the warmth and work with the brighter aspect. You could include it on larger spaces such as a rug, cushions and blinds etc Hope this helps. Good luck with your move!...See MoreWhy do we use SheepWool as Insulation for an attic?
Comments (0)We all know the importance of heating our home, especially when that cold, cold grip comes in those long winter months. Sheep don’t seem to worry about this, - if you think about it they are out in the most severe cold winds and rain and sometimes up high on mountain areas where it is even more harsh than we normally experience during those cold months. So how come Sheep dont’ mind? – because they have ... wool.... natural sheep wool is an insulator in itself so it’s no wonder that we now have decided to copy those sheep and use this beautiful natural wool as an insulator for our homes. It is the most natural thing in the world and we know that it works! Insulation in the attic is especially key, - because without that you lose over a quarter of the heat that you spend money on generating in the home – right out through the roof – heat rises as they say, and so do the heating bills. You might think you have enough insulation up there, - but when you actually go and look you possibly will find, that what you thought you had – is almost gone. That is why using SheepWool Insulation is so good, because once you lay it down it won’t go away, it will continue to keep your home warm for years and years as it does for those little sheep on the top of the mountain. SheepWool Insulation ‘Comfort’ rolls are ideal for attic insulation. They can be rolled out handled with bare hands – no need for masks or gloves – just 100% pure wool. The beauty of this product is that you can do it yourself – safe and easy to handle. The rolls can be laid down over existing insulation and ideally the attic insulation should have a layer of insulation between the joists and another across the in the opposite direction this ensures that you cover the joists so no heat comes up through them and it also ensures that you keep all that heat down in the living space and that you don’t allow heat to escape into the attic thus keeping your home snug as a bug. These 100% pure sheepwool insulation rolls come pre-treated with a moth repellent, and as the insulation is 100% pure you are sure that it is totally natural and totally breathable. It also absorbs moisture, and provides a clean air environment by continuously purifying the air, thus keeping your home and your family healthy at the same time as keeping you cosy.... and ...the sheep don’t mind!...See MoreE D
