Photos would help us a lot but mint and grey usually goes well with charred oak.

I have plants all through my home and yes most certainly plants work in bedrooms. Go for some thing that adds a statement whether it be a small violet plant, a succulent that produces masses of flowers, a fern to add grace and movement or a taller statement plant - or be like me and go for all types - especially those that flower. I am in my late 40's and have been a plant fan all my life. I have had to let some go over the years but I still have one plant from when I was 12 and it is massive - people do not understand what I mean when I say I spent hours pruning my indoor plants. Plants indoors and out are fantastic.

I love trunks! Add such character..hope you can keep yours. One of mine is a military chest brought out with my great grandfather when he emigrated to South Africa, all he had was in it..in 1892, age 19. He had 10 children. We emigrated to NZ with it 20 years ago..our history with it. Could never sell that one!!! I found an example of what I think would work under the tv..now to afford it ha ha!.

We are renovating our home later this year and at the stage of picking the final elements to incorporate. I need a quick poll on colours please … the patterned tile is our bathroom floor, the light grey our walls. For some reason I am completely torn between which colour melteca cabinet to have, ‘french oak’ or ‘sea fog’??? Oak might be too dark and don’t know if I’m a fan of the white wood look… Any advice welcome!
