Hi Houzzers!
It's my Mum's birthday this weekend and I need to buy a last-minute-yet-amazing present!
I want to get something for her house - she loves constantly re-decorating, but I'd love to get something more timeless.
Her style is quite eclectic, Eastern-inspired (Photo's from her house below) SO Do I go for statement art? Smaller accessories? Furniture? What would you buy for your mum?
HELP!

Comments (2)If you have some furniture to start with, I would just use the basics for now and live in your home for at least 6 months - 12 is better - and get the feel of the house, the lighting, how the rooms are affected by heat and cold, decide how you are going to live in each room and what your needs will be. This will also help you determine traffic flow, which ultimately affects how your arrange your furniture. It is amazing how many times you can change your mind during this initial period. Most importantly, create your home for YOU, not to impress others, you are the one living in it and happiness comes from the peace and contentment you feel in your surroundings. In the meantime, look through photos on Houzz for ideas, save them in your ideas book for reference and use this to build your decorating....See MoreWhat colour do I paint my roof eaves?

Comments (11)What an amazing house, almost looks like a church inteiror and you are blessed with incredible amazing space,use it! No pun intended. Architecturally this has so much potential, however to reign in the era a litel I would unify it in colour or material. I suggest rendering our the bottom walls up to that solid plaster line around the entire space, and keep it 'white', whichever shade you use. I would then play up that ceiling, and line the top portion of walls in a vertical lining board cladding sheet, which is easily adhered right onto face brick. Again, I would paint it white, with tones and texture creating interest rather than introducing a busy colour palette. Furniture can do this in your own, flexible Tatar without overpowering the interior. The light fixture is fantastic, and suits this space well, use other structural elements perhaps vertical sculpture or mirrors, art ect on the gallery like walls to make it feel more residential and less of a chapel. The marble floors are expensive, and therefore I'd work with them, they have been at some time a real investment, so consider the colour palate and tile geometry in your scheme such as rugs or upholstery....See MoreWhat should I do with my mismatched bathroom tapware and door handles?
Comments (9)Personally I would always go for a consistent style throughout the house if at all possible. Expensive if you have to make a lot of changes to achieve it. I guess it comes down to how much it bothers you....See More
