Thanks - this is our living area - it's a l-shaped living area comprising lounge, dining, playroom & kitchen. I want to highlight the outside (it's basically an l-shaped room with the outer area mainly windows leading out to 2 tiled balconies. It's elevated amngst tree tops. Currently interior paint is a ale green - but it doesn't work withthe natural meranti wood (seems to exaggerate the honey hues of the wood). We like a "fresh" environment. Thanks for your help withthis. (BTW we currently have aubergine furniture which we'll change also).

Definitely requires wallpaper or paint. I would probably go a textured wallpaper like a bronze /gold weave wall paper. It will give the area deapth and frame the space to make a statement. You have the furniture and space for it. Large art or a mirror. I would possibly keep it rectangular or squarish. A rug would soften and fill the space but would have to be selected carefully to ensure no tripping hazard. Maybe something patterned (replicated through abstract & lines like the legs of your table, with a pop of colour and upgrade the vase of flowers to reflect this colour. Basis of design is replication whether it is colour, shape or pattern.

Hello Of course it depends on the 'mood' you wish to create in your living spaces Colour is returning to home decorating now to add interest to neutral spaces I wonder if you would be brave enough to try a beautiful pastel turquoise to your spaces??? Like this I especially like the last one as it has grey in it

Hi Louise, I did a little mock up for you. I would look at using some more greys and whites and brightening up the room. I mimicked your lamp and just "sprayed it gold" and changed the shade colours to draw your eye up to the artwork. I liked the bedding so played off that a little and added more textures and I love black, white, grey together, super chic and glam. It's amazing what a lick of paint can do. You would need to get permission to do anything to the woodwork, if you're a tenant its maybe best to leave it as is. I dont know what colours the other walls are but if theyre neutral enough you could leave them as is. Hope you like my attempt and happy to answer any q's. You're welcome to follow me too, more projects coming up soon! Amy
