Lovely sofa - traditional with a modern edge. Will look gorgeous. I think you need to balance traditional with modern but don't be afraid to incorporate the odd special antique piece which will give your rooms a nice ecclectic feel and make them look as though you have collected things over time rather than rushed out & bought them all at once. For example, most entertainment units are pretty uninspiring however if you could find a gorgeous antique cabinet & convert the doors to slide inwards you could end up with a lovely unit that disguises the TV when doors are closed which will also make your small room appear larger. As your rooms are small, if it was me I would keep it simple with clean lines as you have done with your sofa and also soft in tonings. Try to minimise the heaviness in your pieces through legs on cabinets etc. so that they float above the floor. Some ideas in pics below & some shops to visit. Don't rush - take your time & do one room at a time & it will come together beautifully. Choose big pieces first. Good luck!

I got a floor sander in to sand this and coated it in Organoil uv red decking oil and it came up a treat in comparison to how bad it was.

We have really unique product; https://www.forteflooring.co.nz/product/catalogue/millboard-decking https://www.millboard.co.uk/ It's more stable than plastic composites, doesn't fade as much as them, is more realistic, last longer, more stable against the UV, the lighter colours don't heat up as hot as WPC decking, and Millboard has the highest anti slip rating of any decking on market (that includes timber). Flick me an email if you would like a sample and to discuss further carlo@forteflooring.co.nz

Hi helke, how different we all are, I think your door is fabulous, by adding clear glass to the side, you will look at your door in a new light , to have such a unique door, you are very lucky. Also by adding decking and landscaping you will love the contrast the render will give to the overall look,you will love how the different textures will blend together to give a beautiful look, but we are all different and you should do what makes you happy every time you walk up your garden path to your home.
