Help please.. Dark grey carpet and dark grey couch!!
Comments (4)First thing I'd do is throw the grey carpet up onto the sofa. Meaning it's colour. Introduce a thick grey throw, loosely folded over one of the seats, up over the back then layer your cushions in front of that. Building up onto it will scatter your colour palette around and start bringing it all together. It will be softened. However keep your colours to a minimum, perhaps 2. This does not include tones of colour, as many as you like will add interest and sophistication. In a chocolate and grey interior, it could be luxe, but I am thinking shades of salmon and mustard up against creams and greys. You also need to link your walls to the sofas, as the floor area looks heavy in comparison. To correct it you either introduce the wall colour down onto the floor, or the floor colour up onto the wall, it will balance it out. I'd place large black frames with rich colours of chocolate with perhaps gold leaf or metallics. Keep it abstract to be modern, or even go the opposite with some classic charcoal pencil sketches in a pair of large frames. The images will start to personify your space, so choose the context of the image that you can continue a theme from, like architecture where you can place related objects on a side table, even coffee table, I love tables with reference books that on a Whim you can pick up for inspiration. It shows who you are and what you aspire to. Or it may be floral, landscapes, paintings whatever, find something that works. Don't necessarily go looking for art, you can make it, save an image online, print and frame to suit you and your budget. Even an a3 image can be framed in a larger frame to make a bold statement, just add a frame Matt that you get from a picture frame shop. Ikea also have ready made large frames too. For some reason emerald green keeps popping into my mind when I look at your room, maybe some plants, foliage can liven a space but also, slight little traces of it around can freshen a space. Maybe thin picture frames, or spines of books can bring this in....See MoreHelp! Which colours go with these bathroom tiles?
Comments (78)That is a hard one with those tiles. I would have to think if you did a white, it would kind of work with the colour of your tiles. At the end of the day, they do need to be replaces, but as you said, due to budgeting reasons, you cannot, I can pass on this photo of a nice bathroom with those tiles for you though for inspiration... : )...See MorePlease help me choose which tiles.

Comments (2)Option 3 has a terrazzo-look tile which references the previous and original bathroom. The concrete look tiles will date, and look quite daggy in ten years time. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreShould bathroom floor be dark or lighter than walls
Comments (16)The first question -- you are asking about the bathroom ? Not the ensuite ? Just clarifying . And if it is the bathroom , what colour are the hall carpets ? If it was 'near' the lounge , looking at the laminate flooring , I'd prefer lighter flooring in the bathroom too , but right now I'm assuming it is the other end of the unit , and so I'd like to know about the immediate rooms surrounding it ....See Moremelisa mitchell

2 years agoLove the wallpaper! I would stick to a deep green/teal subway tile for walls…..the wall paper is the hero of the space so you don’t want to add to many more distractions and patterns to the space. The floor can be a charcoal larger tile to keep the space deep and lux. The brushed gold tap ware will look great.

2 years agoIt depends what timber runs thru the home……and what era your house is…..I like everything to connect throughout the home but here are a few ideas without knowing what else are your homes key features…….You could do a deep warm timber oak vanity to really compliment the tapware….or you could do a a dark almost black oak to connect to darker tiles on the floor….or go for bespoke marble and brushed gold features as per pics below…..but no storage in the marble one!! And I love storage.
