It depend on the room and your decorating style.

In my opinion it’s a good call for lots of modern houses as without coving there are no decorative features- in this case I prefer a chunky coving (as opposed to the DIY store staple of plain small cornice).

If your house is Uber contemporary or has different ceiling heights or lots of visible beams or there are other dominant architectural features then coving can sit uncomfortably in the room

That wall paper doesn't go at all.. and you don't need wallpapers.. how about a cream shade on the fireplace part of wall with oxblood coloured (from your curtain flowers) horizontal band below mantel, while the rest of the walls be lilac? Ever considered stoenwork similar to your fireplace on that wall? Also lower the hung photographs.. should be at least four inches below the windows' top edge.. Your sofas are quite dark. they seem aubergine.. is there any way you can at least place one of the sofas across from a window so that light falls on it? right now it is in the shadows backed against the windows, therefore more dark (does it seem so when you're in the room too?) The mirror (though nice) is too solid and thick for the mantel. can it go on a clearer stretch of some wall? fourth wall? What is the fourth wall like? idk how the fourth wall is like but how about angling large sofa at 90 degrees to the window with the single seater also angled in the corner where the lamp is.. and place the side table with lamp infront of the window (i-e at the corner of the 'L' made by t he sofas).. If possible get lighter lamp shades (cream).. Love the cushions.. place two of these cushions on the single seater to relieve the large sofa.. Please turn the rug lengthwise along the length of the sofa.. get a glass/metal table (if tots allow) or cream ottomon as center table.. The TV is too large for the rack, no? The vase is being wasted under the tv.. Florals and stripes can be mixed depending on print.. but if you bring anymore florals in this room, it would be best to match the flower shape to those in the curtains. I find the curtains too short...

Laminate wood flooring throughout? Yes or no

Hi Cherry, we went with the laminate throughout the house and it turned out absolutely stunning. To be honest it's such good quality I don't think of it as laminate and everyone who visits thinks it's solid wood. It won't look like laminate if it's a good quality brand and you use a thick underlay. Using it throughout the house makes the rooms flow and makes the spaces feel bigger. It's also really easy to maintain unlike shiny glossy tiles! Good luck!

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

How we raised the value of this property beyond everyone's expectation

[quote] It takes a clever property owner to realise that investing in their property before going to market can see real dividends. It doesnt matter what you think, your opinion does not count. We are tired of listening to the same olde excuses. ah sure they are going to change the Kitchen anyway, yes that may be true but they will offer less than the cost of improving it. Tax consultant near me link site company Your Books On Time. Lets weigh it up here! If you paint your house with Magnolia versa painting your house with colours that are currently trending then you are going to raise more eye brows, if you do the things that potential buyers can live with for a longer period of time then they will pay more. The subject property is a clear example of how you can get the numbers through the door and encourage a bidding process among interested parties. the brief is as follows: Our advised market value before refurbishment was €165,000 (AMV) Total spend was €38,500 ( tax deductable sum) SEAI Grant obtained was region €2,500 Sold for €270,000 [/quote] good
