Need help with window dressings for living area
Comments (18)Thanks team. Here's another idea - what about white wooden blinds? I actually like having no coverings on the windows for most of the time. eg. We have great views west and east, so the doors/windows are normally open 6 months of the year. They still need to be dressed, but with something that doesn't hinder the view. They could be up for most of the summer, and only let down if I need to keep some heat out or in winter to keep the cold out. I'm concerned they would be too heavy to operate being most of my window/door widths are 240cm. I've never worked with a consultant before... should I get someone to come in and give me a professional opinion?...See MoreNeed decorating help to brighten up my small living area - looks dull

Comments (7)It is all very safe and conservative. I would look at introducing some lush indoor plants, some additional lighting and a colourful rug with lots of texture to finish it all off. Having a mixture of table lamps, wall lights and pendants mean that your living space can have so much more ambience than provided by your harsh downlights. Using different lights can give the room different moods. I would consider engaging an interior design professional to help you bring some of your own personality into the room. Less neutral serviced apartment look and more like your own home. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits...See MoreDecoration help open living area
Comments (16)A console with shallow drawers can be both simple and practical. And that works with full length curtains behind, not too bulky and cluttered, though I'm still a little concerned about how that works considering your first view is from side on as you come in the door? It depends on whether you need storage or just somewhere to put things down as you come in and then you move them elsewhere. Another thing which can be an occasional 'where to put' as you come in the door is a wet umrella, unless you leave such things outside?...See MoreDeanne Scott
