awful pelmets
Comments (9)You can remove the pelmet and hooks and even rod quite easily and store them somewhere safe so that you can put them back when you leave. I wouldn't remove the vertical blinds though as they are easily damaged if stored, are not cheap and will cost you when you leave. Just leave them open to one side would be the safest. Good luck with the landlord, but every tenant wants something different, so don't be surprised if the answer is no. It's a good idea to discuss these things before you move in as they may be deal breakers for you or your landlord....See MoreWall art – which is your favourite room?
Comments (13)None of them – too busy, too contrived and really the 'art' feels dismissed and unimportant (and I suspect that that is probably the case – if it were important to you because of beauty or sentiment or genuine interest it wouldn't be relegated to an over-busy wall just to complete some grid or slightly random pattern). I have a lot of paintings, drawings, etchings and photographs around my house but each one is there because it has meaning and adds to my life and aesthetic pleasure. When they have to share a wall I spend time ensuring that each is still able to be seen, appreciated and respected in its own right....See MoreAdvice needed on my brown living room wall
Comments (21)I'm surprised to admit I really like the brown. I usually don't like earthy neutrals of any shading but this one is ok, it certainly provided balance for the dark furniture the previous owners had. I love the idea of the side table at 90 degrees to the start of that wall to create a reading nook/dining space and redirect traffic. You could get something reasonable tall facing toward the glass doors to be storage/extension of the kitchen so there is a sense of connection. You could then put paint, wallpaper the back of that cupboard and put up the mirror and a little table for keys. Or even have matching bookshelves back to back and use the one facing the front door as a 'wet' room/shoe storage. Ikea sells so many great units that you can tailor the combination of size and shapes open and closed to get just the right look on each side.If you do this you have to screw the two units to each other so that stand straight and appear as one. If you did use the nook as dinning space you could have all the serving/special stuff in that cupboard so you dont have to go far for setting the table and leave the kitchen cupboards for daily use stuff. When I first moved into my big home from a super tiny apartment I just laid out what I had (plastic dinning set and all) as best I could and moved them around every few weeks till I got the combination of how to use the room right. Then I went and bought more/new furniture over the next 6 months....See Moreawful splashback and bench tops HEEEELP
Comments (19)I'm sorry. It's guesswork a lot as what seems obvious to the poster isn't necessarily to the reader. It seems as if there might, might, be potential for 'go for it' to turn into 'expletive deleted this stuff is dirty/discoloured and won't peel off, how do I fix my kitchen, I'm sending my ex-friend the bill for this mess'. I mean we don't know how long you're going to be living there, whether your friend is thinking to renovate longterm, whether preserving resale value is important since the kitchen looks fine as is, whether either of you have thought that far ahead. And something like 'how to brighten' in the title would of sounded better than 'awful'. One person's too dark is another person's cosy and colourful....See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
