You could add a narrow shelf below your mirror, add precious pieces in your niches or leave as is, a large artwork, keep it minimal to highlight your features, don’t overcrowd your lovely space.

I see a nice warm timber ceiling panel that needs echoing in this space. This may be achieved in your niches or by a warm rug
I see hard single colour space with 2 rectangular niches and then the oval mirror sits at odds
Does the mirror have a purpose here?

They are beautiful flowers fabulouspink but I see three tall items competing with the mirror & my eye can't rest on any one thing as the yellow distracts my eye. For me it needs a low item or bowl, it could be mirror tone or silver to create a connection to the mirror. I would keep to the silvers & blues so the the whole look reads as one complementary picture. Light & shade without filling the whole space & less is more...try the blue tall vase in the middle with the 3 smaller bottles to the left or right. A low square mirrored decorative box echoing the mirror style would also finish it off nicely :)

Hi Tania, Congratulations on getting this far, It can be so baffling to take a project on by yourself, furnishings and design. I believe a monochromatic colour scheme is always interesting when pairing black, greys and whites with different textures. Black is one of the few colours that actually matches with everything, It is the most versatile of colours. Any style, including scandinavian, industrial contemporary or mid-century modern can incorporate black into the colour scheme so whatever style you choose will work fantastic and timelessly. If you so wish, have a peek over on my page. It is a sanctuary to black and white and prints of most works are available. Q1. Recommendation on artprint/artwork (of course I'll suggest my own works ;) they work equally well in both living areas and bedrooms as they have no loud colour scheme, however the 'Spheres' work are particularly soothing in a bedroom area. http://www.houzz.com.au/projects/1700859/contemporary-black-and-white-large-scale-charcoal-artwork http://www.houzz.com.au/projects/1967180/new-series-spheres-grids Q2. How many art print to hang above the couch or bed? depending on the size of the works you choose, one in a landscape layout above the bed of a series of three may work equally as well. Q3. A suitable colour scheme (pillows for sofa, prints) monochromatic, greys, whites and blacks like I mentioned above mixed with various textures and a soft pastel pallet for cushions etc. Good Luck Tania and be sure to post photos afterwards! Miriam :)

The hallway is bright and welcoming. Forget a mat as you have dogs as well as elderly family. Unless the chair is serving a purpose, I would remove it and add a full-length wall hung mirror which will reflect light and make the hall look an indeterminate length and you can used it to see your reflection before you leave the house.

Ok, I see ...one possibility would be to retain the unit as shelving where it is and wall mount the tv on the adjacent wall so that you can optimise seating arrangement. Otherwise I think you are on the right track, a circular rug would work, maybe a couple of mid century chairs might look nice, you could put some trailing plants up high away from your little one, maybe a basket or two to keep toddler clutter in check would go with an eclectic kind of look. If you move to a larger space in the future, mid century chairs would be easy to pair with a couch.. I think try and bring as much storage as you can to keep the space manageable.

The shiny floors and many many downright make for quite a stark environment which needs softening.

The mirror may be functional but it does add another harsh reflective element.

The space needs softening with texture. If the niches could accommodate this it would be good. Art on some kind of fabric. A hall runner would be good but I think the bend in the hall will make that hard work.

This hallway is the first thing you see entering the main entry door..I placed the round mirror and initially placed a bench under it.. But as it was narrowing the space more, i removed the bench.. Probably I should remove the mirror too..

I am not a fan of the niche.. So i am not sure what to put in it..

Agree that the floor is too shiny..But it was already in this home.. I may not be able to change it..

Maybe run artwork along wall opposite niches, leave niches the same or add a lining to match entry ceiling , you could always change the lights for pendants, that could look fabulous and look great with the floor.

Remove the mirror, the hall is already too shiny and clinical. You don’t need to change the floor, Add a floor runner, even just along the first hall before the bend. A jute floor runner would add texture. As others have said change the pendant lighting to something with texture and interest. Hang artwork that is full of texture and colour. I like Julie Herbert idea of filling the niches with the same as the ceiling. Especially if you have nothing that is suitable to go in them.

I think Julie's idea of art opposite rather than in the niches is really clever.

If you don’t like the niches have them removed. They will always be difficult to decorate around. You could re-route the lights to have highlights for artwork, which would give a higher end look.
