I believe it needs to be repotted, but only to a pot the same diameter as the girth of the plant's leaves. Having said that, this palm can grow enormous in the ground, so if you want to restrict it to only another metre in height, I would choose a moderately deeper pot that is 1-2 sizes larger than the one it is in, and place a layer of pebbles in the bottom to aid drainage. I think it will be a case of trial and error to see how it goes, and if you find it is growing too large too fast, then you can always plant it outdoors (depending upon your location) and choose a different plant for indoors. It is a stunning plant and will look very attractive in your room. Best wishes!

Hi Mark This rug from Bayliss could work. I agree with many other comments made about side tables, lamps etc. however if I was you I would get the rug first & then go one step at a time from there. You can then get some darker coordinating cushions, bigger side tables etc. You art is hung too high & is too small for the area. However, as I said one step at a time. Finally, your rug should allow for the front feet of your sofas to be on it as a minimum. I suspect you might need a bigger size rug. See this link for measuring for correct rug size. http://blog.templeandwebster.com.au/how-to-choose-the-right-size-rug/ http://www.baylissrugs.com/collections/contemporary/franklin.html

If you like round rug then go round rug. Will suit your gorgeous chair. Just make it large enough for legs of sofa and chair to sit on.

Note - This is what I think of the concept in general. It's not a criticism again the OP - I think Butler's pantries are better idea's in concept than practice. I've not understood the rationale for a kitchen thats separate to your kitchen, unless of course you are prepping all your meals in there in which case what is the kitchen for? I think it's a sign of the times that we have more space and more money than we know what to do with when we start installing two kitchens in the same space. Of course I understand the rationale for a pantry. A place to store food items that may not be used frequently and the same for appliances. In the days when food was only available in season and the only way to preserve certain foods was to pickle and bottle it then a large space to store those supplies was necessary. We live in the modern age now where any food can be gotten easily and cheaply all year round. So these spaces are housing mostly appliances that we rarely use. And if we rarely use them you have to ask yourself why you are holding onto them?
