We have a collage of 19 prints, originals and photos on our space of about 7 metres width. There's a mix of canvas prints, black frames and champagne (not gold or silver but somewhere in between!) it sounds like it could be bloody awful but in the reality of things it looks great! Only two sets of canvas prints are the same size, two smaller B/W old photos while the other two are larger coloured ones. Some are landscape while the rest are portrait shape, bigger and smaller they all work together to make one oversize grouping which was not planned but plonked according to instinct ;-)

Hi Sunaina More than happy to offer some ideas if you can do a rough sketch of the existing floor plan with room measurements. Cheers Liz

Hello Congratulations on a tidy renovation job The colours are really nice In small spaces you need to keep the line of sight open to give the illusion of spaciousness Go for light colours rather than heavy black & use see-through furniture - mirrored surfaces, rattan or cane pieces, open-backed shelving Ideas: *use the area near the front door as a reading corner Place book shelves against the wall & use the occasional chair there with a small side table & floor lamp *move the living area to the other end of the L-shape with the TV against the solid wall - that way you can watch it while you are in the kitchen Place your new sofa facing the TV, in the centre of the room with walking space near the windows & kitchen area *place a round dining table in the space where the sofa used to be Have it close to the windows so there is a view to admire at meal time *use plants, side tables & lamps to fill corners & add personality *add art pieces to the walls Cheers Let us know what you decide

So many good ideas on lights. I have someone on the hunt for nice fittings here. Locals love chandeliers (cheap ones, not necessarily nice) and over-wrought creations that just aren't me nor would they suit the house. I love some of the suggestions here. In a win I actually found someone who has some imported carpets. A very small range of mostly plain colours but hopefully I can find something big enough to fit under the couches and keep our feet warm. We were also thrilled to find a single furniture shop with some reasonably modern furniture. They have this round table and chairs in a 6-seater combo, in stock. With the chairs pulled out, like in the picture we would have clearance of about 50cm behind each chair. Our dining room is 3.75m x 3.9m an there's a photo of the dining space in the very first post. Thoughts on this shape versus the traditional shape we currently have? Alternatively they also have this lovely traditional long table which we also liked, which made me think we could just get the existing picnic table re-finished and then perhaps buy these chairs to go with it. So that's our Christmas break blown, as we will be driving all over town (nothing closes here) looking for house stuff!
