Need help decorating my new flat
Hello,
I have recently bought a new flat, after buying the minimum to live in. I can now start painting and so decorating. I like modern / design style.
I would like some advice, the ceramic tile in the flat is light grey.
I don't have a backsplash I was thinking about ceramic tile marble. What do you think ?
Also I would like to create some space so I can put my books.
I will upload more picture later but here is the floor plan and a view of the kitchen which is in the open space.
The blue wall will of course be changed with the new painting :)
Thank you very much for your help.

Kommentare (1)Hi yoursra dodo, a lot of children love yellow. Yellow with a red pigment makes a room friendly and cosy. And when it is dark, rainy and grey outside, yellow cheers you up. if you select the colour, hold the sample next to the door, the floor and the blue "sky" above the bed. Look at it in dayligth (sunny and cloudy) and in the night with electric lighting....mehrUnique kitchen layout
Kommentare (11)Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH...mehrSpace solutions
Kommentare (25)Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards...mehrNeed help brightening my therapy room
Kommentare (9)Hey Alice, Yes I know, it's so hard to pick one as there are so many beautiful ones! Yes, I would definitely choose one that's shorter than the sideboard! You could go for something white and simple or something made out of the same wood as the table legs or something that matches the metallic thingy over the desk. I think I would choose a simply white one or a metallic one. Or you could also just put a picture ledge there and then put the artwork on it and maybe a nice candle or a small plant. Depending on the shelf and the size of the artwork, I would put the artwork on it :) Also you shouldn't hang it too high, it shouldn't lose look disconnected from the sideboard. I would say about as high as the grid over the desk but it also depends on the shelf. But I guess you will see it when you chose one! :) I added a few examples but of course those are my taste but I hope you'll find something you like! golden shelf - Urban Outfitters (maybe you can find something with only two boards) Round metallic shelf - Lionshome Picture ledge - IKEA...mehr

vor 8 JahrenI can't find the EDIT button so here are more picture of the flat.
Thank you for your advices !

vor 8 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 8 JahrenLove your sofa.
Some ideas for you:
- would it be possible to move the sofa a little to the left? To give it a bit more 'breathing space'?
- an option for book storage would be on the wall where your TV is. You probably don't need the depth of your current cabinet. I wonder if you can find something that's less deep and more vertical that can hold your TV and books and other things that you want to keep in there. You could cover that entire wall in storage really. Is Ikea's Besta less deep? It's 40 cm deep. Billy is 28 cm deep. Great for books, but you'd have to be creative to get your TV in that . These people used Ikea kitchen upper cabinets to build this bookcase/TV wall.
- I think your coffee table is a bit too large, would replace it with two smaller ones.
- your rug is a bit small and bland. I'd go for something completely different and a bit larger. I would also change your curtains for simple white ones.

vor 8 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 8 Jahrenbigger rug definitely better ! it feels that the room is bigger ! I will look into besta and post it when I have created it. what kind of software do you use to decorate the room? it looks really good.
I will try to move the rug a bit so it looks bigger. like on this picture.
I think we get this sensation because the table is way too big!

vor 8 JahrenI agree with Patricia Colwell. You need artwork to give the place character, soften its angular appearance and provide some texture. You can check here for inspiration: http://www.houzz.com/pro/pamelaq/pq-fine-arts-antiques-and-decorating

vor 8 JahrenI second the wallpaper idea! We have wallpaper on an accent wall, and I think it can add interest without overwhelming a space. We have different carpeting now.

vor 8 JahrenJust came across this Besta example, thought it's fun to add the open boxes. Just showing them to you for inspiration maybe :-)
