Don't think the lounge is working...?
Comments (8)I think your original idea to put the TV on the wall between the sliders was correct. I don't think a TV ever belongs in front of a window. After you move the TV, put the two chairs closer together under the window with a table between them, and rotate the sofa to face the TV. You may have to angle the TV (but not the TV cabinet) toward the seating for viewing, but I think it will be a more satisfactory arrangement for you....See MoreColour experts, I need your advice.

Comments (3)Hi Angela, this space has mega potential. For starters it has fantastic symmetry. However as the space is very long I would recommend you break it down into 2 zones. The front zone as the place for bride and bridesmaids to get ready and the end wall zone as the sleeping area. Divide the space with a set of luxurious pooling drapes, and keep the lighting in the sleeping zone dimmable wall hung bedside lights and and a conversation piece chandelier. Go for warm colours and a touch of gold. A high oversized shallow tufted bedhead will add luxe. A upmarket Bohemian theme could work well. The bridal preparation zone needs to be well lit, (daylight) bars, with floor to ceiling opposable mirrors, (side lit also). Remember this is a functioning space, there needs to be ample hanging for dresses/clothing, clear space, formalish seating (no bride or bridesmaid wants to get stuck in a low lounging sofa and need a hand-up. Have sideboard space for jewellery, flower holders etc and keep the colour palette very neutral, a blackwhite, and mid range neutral grey will work with any bridalware. If you would like any further advice you are welcome to contact me. As an interior designer I often work alongside a styling company that specialises in weddings and other events....See MoreHouse Reno - stairwell advice
Comments (2)I have no idea what the relevant building rules are for your area , but I like your 'jailbar' idea , timber ( I'm guessing you'd need to get good solid timber -- no knots that may crack when someone runs into it playing indoor rugby haha ) stained dark -- it would contrast and compliment the lighter honey stained timber . It looks like your idea though is to take it straight across to the window ? I'd follow the existing L shape -- it would make the room a bit darker , but the stairwell would be as light as at present , plus there'd be no extra problems with taller people or furniture up the stairwell ....See More

4 years agoHang A large artwork above the lounge. The Georgian lounge suite is dominating the room. I would remove the dark cushions and add white and cream cushions to soften look. Also a light coloured floor rug, the carpet is competing with the lounges. Put a white or cream throw rug over black lounge. It seems your trying to go with a Georgian hunting lodge look. These rooms were layered with lots of textures and colours, books and general stuff. And we're always moody and dark. My suggestion is to keep the room light and interesting. Source gold accessories, maybe a gold drinks trolley. With white, gold and green this could be a wonderful eclectic room. But I'm sorry, I do not get any good feelings from the animal on the wall. I hope it is not real. Replace with a gold framed mirror. It would be very expensive to refurbish lounge, so try and work with it.
