I'd go with his choice, because even if it wasn't 'my' style, I'd rather feel like he's taking an interest and equally invested in our home together. Plus, if I'm being completely honest, I think his taste is probably better than mine. ;) He rarely has an opinion on anything house-related, so when he puts his foot down, I go along with it: and on each occasion, it's been exactly the right decision. Example: I wanted the whole house painted out in ecru and antique white because it looks awesome with oak floors and I'm kind of a minimalist. Hubby insisted on painting the lounge room in yellow. YELLOW. I thought he'd lost his mind... but I went with it, because I get my way 99.9% of the time, so why quibble about the 0.1%? He insisted that 'in Winter, you'll be glad we have this warm, cozy colour'. And you know what? Every Winter, I love that room. It's an odd duck compared to the rest of the house, but damned if it doesn't actually work surprisingly well. It'd definitely be too much to take as a house-wide theme - but contained as it is, it's pretty great.

Hi, Love the artwork. Because they're so small, how about putting them vertically, side by side on the wall where the bookcase is. I'd either take out the bookcase, or paint it white. If space is an issue in the room, you could maybe replace the bookcase with a small ottoman/ pouf in a textured plain fabric. This gives guests a place to lay their clothes at night or to set an overnight bag. You could consider a LARGE, maybe hectagonal grey framed mirror over the bed to echo the lines in the bedding. The bedding has a lot of pattern and a mirror may be all you need. Most of all, don't rush. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Hi Pallavi! Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. We're loving how your living room is coming along - you have a nice neutral base to start with, and those cushions are adding some colour you can really work with. We'd suggest adding more aqua and pink, to really make them the accent colours of the room. You can then pick artwork that integrates both, which will tie the whole room together! Some ideas for a large artwork using the pink and aqua tones are: https://bluethumb.com.au/bytanya/Artwork/here-comes-the-sun-print https://bluethumb.com.au/dianne-delandro/Artwork/busy-life https://bluethumb.com.au/april-lockwood/Artwork/the-coathanger https://bluethumb.com.au/jillbryant/Artwork/harbour-noise-1-2 https://bluethumb.com.au/monnica-marwick/Artwork/rose-monnica-marwick https://bluethumb.com.au/monnica-marwick/Artwork/blue-monnica-marwick https://bluethumb.com.au/judy-button/Artwork/sensual-scent https://bluethumb.com.au/missym/Artwork/the-peaches-blushed-pink-extra-large-abstract-study-series-2017 https://bluethumb.com.au/dianne-alchin/Artwork/into-the-deep-dianne-alchin Or you could add three framed prints, such as these by Marinka Parnham, one of our most popular print artists: https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/rosella-s-in-the-flowering-gum-182882 https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/homeward-bound-lino-print https://bluethumb.com.au/marinka-parnham/Artwork/kookaburra-and-banksia-lino-print-189190 Another popular choice is Angus Martin, who reproduces each drawing, which means ever edition is unique: https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/ballerina-a2-black-frame-v2 https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/entrap-a2-black-frame https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/embroil-a2-black-frame Angus's work has the option to come framed or unframed. These are all suggestions, based on the knowledge that you have a budget and what our other collectors are drawn to. Let us know if you'd like a different selection based more on your personal taste - we can create a curation just for you, at no cost. Cheers, Megan

I'd echo most others views -- personally , I could live with the aircon and the lights , but the furniture and the mirrors would go ! Again , just personally , I don't have a problem with the mirrors sizes , it's the silver that doesn't suit . I'd go approx 20% smaller mirrors , BUT with really nice wide sculpted dark wooden frames , and lift them a bit -- they almost look like they are sitting on the mantlepieces at present -- lifting them would show more balance IMO . Lounge suite I'd go big , boxy , good quality bright red leather . A modern corner suite would probably suit , or one with a moden interpretation of a chaise , but in big boxy red leather . Or maybe a more classic looking buttoned leather suite , just not in brown -- that would be too much brown . Red or white would work well . The dining suite could be a large 8 seater wooden table in darker brown ( that mahogony one clashes to me ) , or glass top and stainless if you want to be more modern , and modern red chairs -- several styles would work , depending on what table you choose , and how modern you want to be . And for a more modern twist on the windows -- wooden slat blinds -- I have done very similar in my own 95 year old place , and it works well ! My place is similar , although it doesn't have those higher picture rails -- my place has carved rails approx 1.2mtr above the floor level , and Rimu panelling ( a NZ wood ) below that -- has that 'gentlemans club' feel . I did the walls above that in a mid steel blue in some rooms , a grape colour in others , english cream in a couple , and an earthy orangey-brown with white gloss tiles in the kitchen ! And in most rooms , I did a feature wall , wallpapered in complimentary colours to the other 3 walls in that room ! Strange sounding I know , but it works ! In the larger rooms and entrance foyer , I have large gold waterfall chandaliers , the other rooms I have gold curved light bars with 4 to 6 led spotlights -- all with crisp white ceilings similar to yours , and art deco inspired ceiling roses and architraves . I love the mix of classic and modern , with a twist of class
