Comments (21)You should have a professional installer in your area take a look at your home so you can discuss what end result you are wanting. You may need to use an engineered wood. This is still an all wood product and is much more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This is a huge advantage if you are in an older home or in the midwest where humidity levels can drastically change from season to season. A solid wood will cup or curl if humidity and moisture levels are not managed. Your installer should do a moisture test before installation to make sure the installation does not fail. All warranties will be voided if this step is not taken. Also, your transitions will need to be considered. Is the new wood floor going to butt up to tile, carpet, or vinyl? The height difference in the two products will need to be taken into consideration. You will have a greater selection of thicknesses in the engineered woods. Engineered wood should be several plys, all wood. If you choose a solid wood, the hand scraped versions are fantastic for a high traffic area with children. Hickory, Red Oak, most Brazilian Species, and even Bamboo are hard enough to take everyday traffic and still look terrific. Good luck!...See MoreNeed help with curtains for family room.
Comments (1)What kind of 'wow' were you looking for Dorcas? Colour, Fabric, Pattern? We also sell curtains though Curtains2Go, and we specialise in made-to-measure designs. These Pandora curtains definitely make a statement and the colours should add vibrancy to your grey (http://www.curtains-2go.co.uk/curtains/5896/pandora-lime.htm), or we have a beautifully bright collection of stripes and checks (http://www.curtains-2go.co.uk/stripes-checks.htm)....See MoreBathroom issue guidance needed please?

Comments (22)What a wonderful hall looks fantastic. For the carpet I would (budget allowing) use chrome or brass stair rods on each stair would look brilliant in there. You could always get an old or cheap console table & paint it yourself in silver or bronze etc....See More

4 years agoLovely hall and the chair is cute. To my untrained eye it looks a bit askew because the wallpaper is a cool shade in an Art Deco style, whilst the floor, chair, rad cover and stairs have a more a relaxed country vibe, if that makes sense! Do you want to keep the wallpaper? If not, then something in a rustic country style would look good, or even just paint the walls a warm neutral shade and let the warm wood do the talking.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoPanelling is lovely, but might it make the hall rather cluttered? Will you go up the stairs too? As Marina has asked it depends whether you want light and airy or a moodier look. I think warm neutrals such as off whites or something like F&B Skimming Stone or Elephants Breath or Dulux Egyptian Cotton in the walls above the cladding and paint the cladding white. Something like this

4 years agoI wouldn't go for panelling in here personally, maybe save it for another room? I would change the wallpaper and paint the railings on the stairs. I would swap the radiator cover for a radiator table (paint the radiator to blend into the wall) and add a large round mirror, lamp/s, flowers etc
