Ok, don't like the dark cushion, don't like the TV in the bedroom. You could go for pendant lighting using the same 'material' as the mirror? If you went for larger beside lamps while you have that mirror there, they would be fighting each other. In the programs I watch, they say to have 'a hero in the room'. In this case the mirror is the hero I think. Also the extra throw cushion for the bed could match one on the chair, so it ties in (or don't have one at all on the bed). If you did need a TV what about having one installed on the wall to the right of the chair,(looking at the photo) and make sure it can swivel out, so when you aren't watching TV in bed it can be against the wall, out of the way. Then you can have a lovely (glass) ornament or two, or a bunch of flowers sitting on it along with your photos. I love how you have your bed dressed, spot on! (without the dark cushion) I absolutely adore the blue shades in the duvet cover and I would draw those out into the room. Love that you have opened up your windows in the lounge. Maybe a throw rug and some colourful (same colours as in the duvet cover on your bed) cushions on the lounge suite as nothing is really popping! There doesn't seem to be any colour except for the flowers and the photos. Colourful paintings on the wall would be lovely too. Maybe the potted plants could be in coloured (as in your duvet cover) pots instead of white. I know you weren't asking about the lounge and if you are happy with it, then that is all that matters. Well done.

Not so much a room as, well, windows. We have secondary glazing so opening 2 sets of windows is a pain. Double glazing here we come! Plus when we reno next year these rooms will have very little done to them so better to do it now then when all the hassle is going on.

Hi there, I really like what you have there. You have many options that will require little work to make this space wok beautifully. Agree with Brilliant Ideas and Kerry - changing the mirror position and adding a hanging feature like a pendant will make a lot of difference already. From what I can guess looking at your image, even a slim table would fit better under the mirror on the other wall. In addition, you can include another hanging feature higher to make the ceiling look more interesting. E.g. 1 or 2 spotlights, hanging plants as simple as a Spanish moss. After that, is just dressing the furniture with small decor. Personally, I like clean, relaxed and easy to maintain spaces. Not sure about the correct colours, but here are some ideas for you: Light pendant to match your mirror colour and dining set style. Spanish moss can be hanged with a small hook. Minimum care required. Slim table - you can use a chest of drawers like this one... Slim table - or go for something a little different if you don't need extra storage... To dress the furniture and kitchen bench - That's where my products can come handy :) Please let me know if you want more help!! Love doing this! Ana

By the way, first and foremost, you have a positively beautiful home!! The point of the pilar is support, due to the very large open plan you have and the roof needed this support to make the building safe. Our daughter has a steel pole in the middle of her home like this for the same reason and as suggested by a few other people, she plastered it and it is painted the same colour as the walls and I don't think it is really noticed much at all. I think it has been suggested that you could build a book case etc.. but then you would lose the ability to watch tv for example when eating your meals, if that's what you already do. I see you have allot of exposed brick work too, well that's my pet hate like you hate the pole and I would have to dispose of this look entirely and plaster it if I lived there BUT It looks good in your style of home and I think you simply need to focus on everything else in this gorgeous home and simply try to embrace the pole if that's possible however, if you really can't do that, then please make sure you get a good interior designer to give you the best possilbe outcome if you eventually redesign the area, as the pole can NEVER come down but in the interim, I agree to perhaps paint it like the third photo supplied by 2 Find and Design, as it has the cathedral ceiling like yours, so I would imagine you could relate to how it could look, even though I suspect the pole is probably a beautiful type of timber and to me does already look quite nice just as it is. Good luck with whatever you do. Cheers, Barbara
