I rather think the last comment is moe the point, it really depends on the style and position of the home as to which colour would work better, than simply deciding if you should go bold or subtle. The first colour by the way is a mustard not yellow but a nice colour all the same however, I'm not sure if I would want such a bold colour greeting my guests, although I do understand that sometimes if your front door isn't set in a way that draws people to the right location that a bold colour can be helpful!!

Hi there! I love your sideboard and pendant light, very cool! The print you have is lovely but it's too small. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce either colour or boldness to make a statement, go for a square or rectangle piece that is relative to the length of your sideboard, but don't go longer! The length of the runner on your sideboard would be a good guide - measure this length as well as the sideboard and take the measurements art shopping with you, have fun with it and just pick something you love!!

Thank you so much everyone for your great ideas, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, long weekend and my grandchildren staying over. I loved the idea of a statement pendant Cooper design, and the glass console, I get a bit confused with my style(lol) and I have to keep in mind the continuity as you have mentioned, so I don't have a mish mash of different things. Big reader I have had the console in the lounge there when I first bought it, it looked good but I needed it in my lounge.. I'll put a photo of the clock I think it's a bit old fashioned. Nik star the end wall looks really good and your right it draws the eye, there is certainly food for thought in all of your suggestions.

The hall table is easy on where to put it . Under the stairs . So you ( or family members ) can leave dirty or even security items , out of sight . Did you consider doing something in the hall -- an abstract painting or 2 ? It's a relatively new concept called colour , but some more courageous people are finding it looks slightly different to white , or white , or white , or even black . Haha . The one thing that shows some thought -- the ( almost certainly imitation ) wooden floor panels -- you know you need something when the most positive thing said is about the floor ! A painting on that large white wall can be bought probably as cheaply as painting or wallpapering that whole wall ( especially with the 'challenge' of having to continue upstairs , or making some kind of differentation -- basically two-toning the wall ) . You may even make money on a painting ( you probably won't ) ; you look a bit cultured ( although it hasn't worked for me , and I must have 50 ! ) ; and real easy to change if you get bored or even change your lounge suite , kitchen appliances , a rug or whatever is in surrounding rooms .
