could you get fabric with the wallpaper pattern ? sometimes the wallpaper company has the match ? if so do one cushion to go with one of the grey ones, otherwise, I would try and match one grey with one of the other colour in the wallpaper. 2 cushions is enough for the size of the bench. Try another arrangement for the rug, put it right to the door (it is not big enough for central use in that space) , move the table to the back near the wallpapered wall, add an armchair (like a bergere) beside it. Nothing on the left of the entrance wall, what is there is the wrong scale and too high . I would also try a long circular tablecloth in an off-white on the table, it would give substance to the arrangement. I love your wallpaper, but I think the other walls would benefit with a darker tone imitating the wallpaper background colour. It is almost there keep going.

Hi Blufitch, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The four coffee tables are lovely, but I would probably opt for one of the two top ones. That being said, check the measurements first as these round tables might be significantly larger than your existing Ikea table. Re the potted plant, a taller one would be better, or you can put this one on a plant stand or even on a ceramic stool. But if you feel a mirror would be too much due to your mirrored splashback, leave the plant as it is and hang a framed print above the plant. It doesn't need to be big, but it's important that it s not too small so it doesn't look too "lost" on the wall. It's hard for me to judge the size from here, but a 70x40 frame might be ok. You could have only the yellow canvas above the couch, but you would have to bring in a few more brightly-coloured cushions or throw onto the couch, to compensate for the empty wall. Alternatively, you could also hang a large mirror above the couch. If you decide to do this, I think it would be best to move the canvas back to where it was, and hang the mirror in front of the window, so it reflects the natural light around and gives more depth to the room. The large Ikea Stave mirror (in white stained oak) is very reasonably priced and would work great. Just double check it fits first (it's 70x160)! Tell us how yo go! All the best, Nelly / Twinkle and Whistle

Do you want to resell it? If not: buy it, when it is worth 50 Dollars to you. You must like it. And if you say: "Hey, I'm happy seeing that pillow 365 days a year, and it's worth for me economise 2 dinners at pizza hut, so I can afford it" - do so. And if anyone says: "OMG, you gave so much money for that cheap junk?" -> if that cheap junk makes you happy, it's worth the money. You have to feel good in your home, your home is not for impressing people.

I've seen some cute house/cottage-shaped cushions that incorporate those sewing techniques. I don't have a photo to share but you should be able to find some images online
