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...

Hippy Style, Okay. Add beaded curtains over the windows with a pull down shade underneath for privacy. Bright colors will work. On one feature wall paint a background color and the do some hippy graffiti.....Add words like Love, Peace, Groovy, Beattles, Rolling Stone, No War, paint bold flowers and a peace sign of course!

What about blinds which raise up from the base of the window, partially or totally raise as suits? There are some gorgeous lace panels around (NOT talking nets here!) - try Anthology perhaps, or even La Redoute who have some 'v' bottomed ones amongst others? Bee

Hi all We are interested in a terrace house with a full width extension to the rear, half two story (flat roof) other single story flat roof. Attached pic shows it and dimensions. I have north & south drawn on. There is no roof windows to let any light in. I think replacing the single story with a glass side extension could be great. Attached is one that spiked my interest. Would it be pointless getting on considering it is north facing? Or should we look at extending the second story at the shower room and bedroom 3 for ensuite and walkin closet? TIA
