Period living room
really need some inspiration for my living room/guest room. It’s been like this for over a year as i really don’t know where to start! what To put either side of fireplace? What colour should the furniture be? Dark grey? Black? Or dark oak to match the sofa legs? Shutters or Roman blinds? Initially wanted to keep it neutral with different shades of grey but now thinking it needs a pop of colour. What do you all think?

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave
Commentaires (84)bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!...

Commentaires (0)If by chance any of you is planning to move from your actual city, village or country straight to London, well, what can I say; it’s a very good choice. London is the most important political, financial, cultural and artistic center of the United Kingdom and also one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s a bustling and ever changing city, a mixture of old and modern architecture, that abounds in cultural riches and all kinds of concerts.The Great Britain’s capital offers its guests and residents a variety of temptations for London apartment for long term rent the more interesting the more…expensive, from impressive museums and palaces to the typical English pubs that complete the charm of the city on the Thames. So whether you are moving to London for study purposes or you’ve grown tired of your own city or native place and want to be part of the London dream, you must be occupied with trying to find a London apartment for long term rent. In the first instance, it’s important to know that London is NOT a cheap city at all, and even if you’re aware of that, you must acknowledge this fact and be prepared to fork out a quite significant amount of money from your pocket. If you’re financially secure, then it shouldn’t be any problem for you to find an apartment where to live, but if you’re not, finding a London apartment for long term rent might be a little bit difficult. London apartment for long term rent Generally, the level of apartment rent in London depends, as everywhere, of the area in which you want to live and the quarter of that area. An apartment with three rooms outside the center costs around £1500 a month. In case you want to purchase one, expect prices up to £5500/sqm. Zone 2 is, for example, a typical area for those who want to commute in zone 1 (the center) and attend social events a few times a week. In the North-East area, about 8 km from the center, the rent for a room with double bed in a house is around £450 with all the other expenses included. If you want a place only for you, you need at least £600 a month except bills payment. When renting an apartment in London, it is also important to check the distance between it and the closest shopping center, hospital, pharmacy, supermarket and so on, and how far it is from where you are going to work or study and from your point of interest. A better option would be to share an apartment with a friend, in case you already know one already living in London or one that wants to relocate there as well. This means halved expenses. As a conclusion, London is certainly a fascinating city to live in, but don’t let yourself get fooled by its charm, and forget about all the other aspects that you have to consider before relocating there, because this could get you in trouble....

Commentaires (13)Bonjour, un petit schéma pour vous proposer la quatrième chambre. J’ai réduit la Salle de Bain de la chambre parentale et déplacé la deuxième salle de douche à profit d’une chambre (dimensions à vérifier pour qu’elle soit d’une surface convenable et, dans la limite du possible, d’au moins 9m²). Cela pour profiter des deux petites fenêtres aujourd’hui dans les deux pièces d’eau (la création d’une seule fenêtre est, peut-être, à envisager mais cela demande des démarches administratives qu’on n’a pas toujours envie d’aborder, surtout en copropriété). Pour cela faire il sera nécessaire de réduire la surface de la cuisine déplacée près du salon. Si mes calculs approximatifs sont corrects, elle aura une surface d’environ 11 m², donc plutôt correct. En fin, j’ai opté pour transformer le recoin près de la cage d’escalier commune en salle de douche avec WC et de prolonger l’actuelle cuisine dans l’entrée pour la transformer en chambre (la aussi, surface à vérifier). Voilà une petite idée qui aura, évidemment, besoin d’être travaillé dans les détails et, surtout, vérifié dans sa faisabilité. A priori le déplacement de la cuisine ne devrait pas poser de problèmes tout en raccordant les évacuations de l’évier à la descente qui aujourd’hui dessert les salles d’eau (emplacement à découvrir !). Un handicap est, par contre, d’avoir un seul WC que, de plus, n’est pas indépendant…. A’ réfléchir Bien à vous Sara... Voir plusAvant/après - Rénovation d'un appartement à Lille
Commentaires (15)Peut-être que c'est une belle réalisation en terme d'espaces qui ont été revus et corrigés mais je me sens mal dans ce salon : les teintes sont tristes , cela assombrit cette pièce qui dites-vous est au nord....Cela ne me semble pas très logique ENTRE COULEUR et SITUATION GEOGRAPHIQUE!!!...

il y a 6 ansI think i might remove the sofa in the bay and put in a window seat instead.
Turquoise or mustard, even both together work well with grey.
I too love the calmness of the room, so I think less is more. I'd go for a rug like this one
Has the grey, but the taupe and the turquoise add a little warmth. If you don't like that one, then something like these could work also
or for a more modern look, this one:-
mustard and grey on their own work well too
Your clock is beautiful, a large over mantle mirror would show it off even more:-
coffee table in the middle??
For your windows i'd go with quality rough silk roman blinds with long dramatic curtains either side.

il y a 6 ansAlso do you guys think the patterned fabric would work for blinds? My sister seems to think it’s too modern looking

il y a 6 ansIt's a beautiful space. What exactly are you going to use the room for? When you say guest room do you mean occasional bedroom or formal sitting room? Will there be a TV? Will you use the fire? I would consider adding a mirror above the fireplace, matching sideboards either side of it with matching vase/plant/lamp etc to add interest and symmetry. Then a coffee table (I think the dark wood would work well) and curtains. I would also add some art to the wall.

il y a 6 ansLovely room. I like the fabric on the right for blinds. You could place a small sideboard, chest of drawers, co sole table on either side of the fireplace. Either matching mirrors above those and a painting on the mantle, or the other way around. Paintings on the sides (not matching though) and a mirror on the chimney breast.
Adding pattern would liven it up. I like the neutral colour scheme, but you could add a little bit of colour if you like. A touch of black always works well. And some cushions.

il y a 6 ansThe grey room is lovely (as is the other!). I agree with the other comments, it just needs accessorising. I'd try pulling the sofa out of the bay and just pull the sofa opposite the fire away from the wall a few inches. Would you consider orange as an accent colour? I think the patterned material would work for a Roman blind, have you considered adding a pelmet ( but in a plain material not as shown in the pic!). I'd definitely add plants and flowers. The coffee and console tables are actually in wenge, a couple of piles of books would add warmth on the lower shelf with lamps on the console (Pooky have some nice shades). A soft throw draped over the arm of the sofa would also look great. I'd go for the same style mirror as the other room. You definitely need art but it's hard to choose art for someone as it's so personal. A floor lamp next to the sofa opposite the fire would also add some height

il y a 6 ansI don't think there's too much duck egg in the other room but I'd add an accent colour, I think coral would work well and flow with the orange. The coral cushion is also from Oka and I think the gold will lift the room. The weathered oak tray table is also from there which should work with your existing furniture. As with the other room I think it just needs accessorising with art, lamps, plant etc. A brass floor lamp would work in here

Add some pops of colour. Love the grey walls, but why not add jewel coloured sofas and a chandelier?
PROAngell Welding & Fabrications
il y a 6 ansPerhaps if you would like to maximise space and heat efficiency, an angled bay window radiator may work behind the sofa. There are many styles available that would be to be custom designed for the particular space including column or a standard double pane radiator like the one below we recently fabricated.

il y a 6 ansWhat a lovely space! I'd definitely pull the sofas away from the wall, and add some art and maybe cabinets either side of the fireplace to create symmetry. Add a nice rug & coffee table and I think that the room will feel much more 'put-together' and cosy. As far as pops of colour go, I'd keep it to the accessories - they are much easier and less expensive to replace if you change your mind 2 years later -cushions, vases, artwork etc are ideal for this.
Some ideas below:
Hope this helps!
P.s. If you are really wanting to change things up here's a picture I've been loving for ages - it would suit the style of your property.

il y a 6 ansLove the space and agree with many of the comments above - it lends itself to something dramatic and opulent like mirrored or black furniture. It may not be your thing but oriental style furniture would work perfectly. I'd probably stick with new, clean lined black lacquer rather than introduce antiques but there is plenty of choice - one of our ottomans, for example, would be great next to the fireplace and has the advantage of adding extra seating as well as storage.
PROLumen Designers Limited
il y a 6 ansFrom a lighting perspective you need some occasional lighting either side of the fireplace as you don't appear to have any wall lights. I would suggest something with a bit of texture and style - perhaps some crystal to link with your central pendant or a striking design piece. here are some of my suggestions:

il y a 6 ansSo I thought I would update you all on the progress for this room. Its still not complete, but managing as much as I can with 2 small children!
I have taken all your suggestions on board. Just wanted some help re: coffee table. The one in the picture is my old coffee table and Im not keen on keeping it. I was thinking of an ottoman style table in the grey similar to sofas but dressed with a deep blue throw and pretty silver tray/accessories. What do you all think? I have attached photo of cushions to give you all an idea of colour. I will definitely be adding more blue at some point in the form of art and accessories.
minnie101
il y a 6 ansIt's looking great. It looks as if you're going for a transitional look? They're not cheap :( but I thought this art over each console table? (They are the same size!). I'd maybe look at an ottoman like this with a shelf for books. I can find a rectangular one but not the right colour ATM.. I probably wouldn't add any more grey though personally . It looks as if a tall palm could go to the left of the sofa in the bay?
