Elderly folks require carpet and paint colour advice.
Comments (25)That is true alright, though even with a patterned carpet they usually keep a mat for people to wipe their feet on by the door, or if people like to remove boots or shoes when entering ( not that common here) but great idea. The trouble with the patterned carpet was if anything fell on the floor you could hardly find it !!...See MoreGuest bedroom decor advice needed
Comments (3)As the rest of your house is decorated in muted colours with the exception of the bathroom), I would stick with that. Duck egg/pale blues and pale greens or chalky pink would be very restful for bedrooms. Or navy blue looks smart with a neutral scheme....See MoreAdvice on colours to bring a room together
Comments (2)I think it looks very nice! It is lovely fireplace and room. These are just thoughts because I actually really like what you have done so far. Just my opinion. ... 1) Would you think about hanging the mirror above the fireplace, about 6 inches and horizontally? You could dress the mantel then with a few items to the side (eg. tall vase, etc) 2) You could add some funky cushions to your sofa with some strong tones, picking up on the browns and greys (don't match but just use lighter or darker tones or brown or grey) or even add another colour. I just see you have red light pendant, maybe you could mix and match. 3) Will you be adding rug? Again you could bring out some colours using a rug. 4) Something about the shelving looks like it needs adjusting. Are the shelves adjustable? In which case can you adjust so they are not all even size shelving? Try adjusting the items - something looks out of balance. Maybe try books on their sides (some but not all) and moving items into groups of similar colour/ theme. Good luck - Im sure you will get lots of ideas from the community.....See MoreAdvice on re-design of Kitchen/Diner/Living Room?
Comments (4)Hi minnie101, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Great to know what colour that grey is. It may be a little dark with our floor. We will definitely update the handles - I hate the current ones. We'll probably go with wood to keep within budget. Your non-tiles pic is lovely. We'll probably keep some tiles and try to keep the kitchen a little more modern than country kitchen, which might be a challenge with wood. The room faces south. I like your idea of dividing it with paint. We probably will go with white in the kitchen and then 1/2 slightly darker tones in the tv-couch area. The 'other' entrance into the dining area is narrowed by a non-structural wall, so we should remove this to open it properly or like you say, close it off. Maybe not close it off entirely as we'd lose a lot of light, but maybe put in a counter or breakfast bar if space allowed. I love your pendant light suggestions over the dining table. Details like this and a rug in the couch area will really help divide the room as at the moment it is one big cavernous space. I really can't decide yet what way the couches should face - into a tv in the corner, or out into the room like you suggest. We'll have to draw out some chalk outlines on the floor and see how much space there actually is. Colour-wise we like the idea of keeping walls and cabinets quite stark, the wood counter will add a bit of warmth, and then adding colour with couches, rugs and possibly dining chairs. I've attached a couple of pieces of furniture I like. Some may not work, but we'll figure it out....See MoreSonia
