Comments (6)Jodie, Dr Retro is on point with comments/advice.....this goes for all decision making in building/renovating/design/interiors etc...it's about balancing and identifying what is the feature and being consistent/appropriate to the ideal direction. If you want to keep your furniture then great but you need to work to it an it will to a certain degree define the project direction - so be clear/confident about this and let the feature elements "breathe" and not be over taken by the secondary aspects - it's actually really really hard to do in this day and age with so many "on trend" things being pushed in your face from all angles. I try and advise clients to be true to themselves and learn to understand/clarify with confidence what they like and why and this can take time to educate/gain knowledge/understanding in this regard.....I agree with Retro - try and go for finishes that are offsetting/contrasting to the significant timber furniture feature as otherwise you'll risk having timber overload ;) Hope this helps, good luck :) PD...See MoreHow should I style my entry table?
Comments (49)Personally if I were to put a runner down the area I'd keep it either plain or a very soft muted colour palate maybe with the grey and natural colours as right now it looks quite classy so you don't want to make it to bold or in your face just soft and calming for the area to enhance it all as one look. I don't really think you need one at all as I love the softness of the area as a whole as it is, sometimes less is more but it once again comes down to personal taste....See MoreWhat tiles to put on our entry?
Comments (14)siriuskey Yes I really do :) I did a rough idea of what the tiles could look like. I'm pushing my luck as its not going to work but worth a try. I am going to go with what people have suggested as its more appropriate....See More

I like you're magazine pile, although the idea might not work as well for us since our lounge room is in a separate space. Otherwise I'd go for it!
Maybe I'll try the basket idea, though - I like that a lot.
Here is ours, it's not quite right yet but we're happy with it as a starting place :-)
