Hi friends I need ur help to decorate my new house we buyed recently pl help me :))
Comments (2)If you have some furniture to start with, I would just use the basics for now and live in your home for at least 6 months - 12 is better - and get the feel of the house, the lighting, how the rooms are affected by heat and cold, decide how you are going to live in each room and what your needs will be. This will also help you determine traffic flow, which ultimately affects how your arrange your furniture. It is amazing how many times you can change your mind during this initial period. Most importantly, create your home for YOU, not to impress others, you are the one living in it and happiness comes from the peace and contentment you feel in your surroundings. In the meantime, look through photos on Houzz for ideas, save them in your ideas book for reference and use this to build your decorating....See MoreHelp, help, Decor help!

Comments (25)Hi everyone, I'd like to thank you all for your input. Have been a busy spring and summer, but now I'm back and able to focus on the living room. Couple of things have been done/removed since lately: 1. Leather lounge set: I've (luckily) sold the leather lounge set - absolutely great piece with great quality, but not my taste at all. It made a world difference to the living room and even dear hubby, who liked the set, did acknowledge that the difference of less furnitures is great. 2. The rug 3. The white cabinet 4. New curtains with pelmet I love the pelmet although it's old style and yes, the curtains are too short! Will amend this at later stage :) These changes have made a huge impact on the room. Also, I'm also open to change the dining table with chairs for another nice option in an attempt to make this more interesting/cozy/inviting. So, these are the only things that I won't be able to change (we may (note on may) also move house by the end of this year/early next year) # Blinds # Colour of trims and built-in bookcase # Camel back sofa - I'm happy to reupholster it though and change the fabric. This will cost $2000 but I think it's worth it since they are really comfortable and are of good quality. I'd like to integrate the white frame with the gold poster in the design - an idea is to place 3x posters on the biggest wall of the air conditioner. I'm aware that a brown frame may suit the gold poster better, but I'm so tired of the colour brown at this moment. --------- So, I now feel I'm able to adjust as per your suggestions and recommendations much easier now. Appreciate every response and idea (And sorry for the mess of papers on the desk and floor! We're busy professionals and sometimes I have to let my husband have his creative space despite my OCD when it comes to decluttering and keeping it tidy)...See MoreHelp please help with side hall table and desk

Comments (12)IMO the picket fence is at odds with the plain and fairly timeless house. Nothing wrong with corner windows per se, however if your climate would benefit from it you could enquire about replacing them with a more modern and energy efficient style. I don't see the need to spend on painting the bricks or roof tiles with possible maintenance issues down the track, unless you genuinely dislike the existing colours and have a clear vision for what you want instead. Sure they're sold as modernising tricks but the results vary and if not well done the house can look like nothing more than 'an old house, modernised'....See More

7 years agoSo dilema with lounge rug after playing around with the area today. I think the smaller rug is a little too small following the rug rules the bigger rug will cover most of the area leaving about 50cm wall to wall, windows to bedroom door if I centre it.
Is the bigger rug the best option? Rug man is bringing them all down next week & hard to gage with the temp lounge I have.
Beautiful soft beige Hufflet Rug.
Lounge area
295 x 395
Modula size
286 x 108 x 182(chaise)
Small rug
160 x 230
Large rug
200 x 290
Think i might leave the rug for dining table atm. Will have a look but smaller rug will fit dining setting larger rug might overtake the space.
Thoughts please be as honest as you want I need it :-)

7 years agoThanks Trib I see what you mean now I have added that painting into the mix.
Either I add those colours in or I leave that painting out. Loving this enlight app layering photo upon photo really helps

I found out i have manchourian pear trees in my court yard that are really pretty but getting them cut back 1 is already 2 stories high other 3 not too bad but need to keep them maintainable.

7 years agoYou have a mixed colour palette & an eclectic range of
furniture which means that you will end up with a very interesting room indeed.
First suggestion: reposition rug so that all of the sofa sits on it equidistantly.
At the moment your main colours are: chocolate; white; tan and grey from your
sofa, entertainment unit, dining table, kitchen etc. These colours always look great
together particularly if they are teamed up with black. So I think if you
choose the right artwork with these colours; add copper items to top of your tables
and choose cushions in these tones the whole room will come together. You will
successfully mix old and new & it won’t be too bold for your taste. Note: artwork should be purchased first & be landscape in orientation. Could your
existing artwork hang in the kitchen or hallway as it would be seen
from the main room? To give you an idea of what I mean see pic below. Not
suggesting that these items are what you would personally choose but focus on
the colours and how everything is tied together. PS you could put some of your
ornaments on the coffee table.
