TV Placement dilemma
Comments (3)The only option really as Emily says is the the bottom left side wall of your plan. I wouldn't suggest putting it in front of the balcony - that's just not good circulation. And any ways you'd probably have a problem with electricity and plugging in your components and have wires all over the floor in front of the balcony. Put it on that wall and use a swivel mount so you can angle the TV around as you need to. You could also use a lift cabinet if you want to conceal your TV at times......See Moreneed help to dress up my teakwood daybed to comtemprory look

Comments (1)First of all, your floor shouldn't constrain you. You can resolve its impact on the room by placing a large rug on the floor. I would go for a soft shag cream rug so it is textural and literally soft on the eye and feet.Then, with your bed and furnishings around the walls, you can "break" the join between floor and wall and paint your teals or greens... a soft green that veers more to olive than lime could work, as could a soft teal... hard to say without photos......See MorePlease help me with 2 questions on this bathroom!
Comments (13)I take it this isn't your bathroom. The glass could be handmade lead light which means bespoke by someone who makes lead light windows or it could be a transfer applied to a plain glass window. Check on ebay or online sticker/transfer stores for similar. I've never seen a piece like that in Australia so I'm thinking this might be an American antique. It's not normal to put an expensive antique piece in a bathroom and if you did it would be best in a bathroom that only has minimal use. And you would want to have a lot of good exhaust extraction to get rid of moisture. If you picked up one of those repro Indonesian mahogany pieces you would be spending a lot less money and might regard the piece as expendable. You can buy wood hardening sprays that resist moisture from the hardware store and spray the carcass (all the unstained pieces inside) with this stuff to resist moisture. You'd still need a good exhaust system however and keep the room well aired....See More

11 years agolast modified: 11 years agoI like where you're going with this. Artsy and eclectic. I think I'd replace one of the mobiles with a cluster of hanging lanterns - very fun and super inexpensive.
Also, what about some candle lanterns? Indian or Moroccan style comes to mind?
Lastly, would you consider replacing one of your fabric wall hangings with a collection of mirrors? They're easy to find at thrift stores, garage sales and the like. They're a fun wall treatment when different sizes and shapes are grouped together. Very bohemian. You could even paint some of the frames in golds, plums, silvers and burgandies.

11 years agoToo much of the same colour in the same places. All burgundy on the bed, green on the walls and then shots of purple with the fabrics. Need to mix up the colours and then throw in some neutrals to cool it all down.
FIrst thing I would do is change the comforter to one like this one at West Elm. Or anything that lightens and provides contrast for the other darker colours.

The wood blinds dominate the back wall and are not in a colour that works. Can you spray them a lighter softer tone? Or use bamboo tones like Mathomson5 mentions above on that window blind wall.
Take the filmy voile drapes from the sides and swag them over the rod at the top. They are too light and not wide enough to give the sides the weight a regular drape would have. It's hard to tell but maybe the mirrored piece would fit across the width of that window over the blind and then softly pulled up in the centre might give that window better scale or maybe made into curtains? (I know, it's devastating to cut such a piece!)
If someone could build or you could find a metal or steel frame of sorts to lift the rattan side pieces off the carpet it would give them the lift they need. Then a couple side lamps with some height would help. Or again as Mathomson5 notes turn the bed and use the tables as a way to make a desk (if there is room).
If you could get someone to wire a central fan in the room using a tropical looking style with blades that have a palm look that would be great.
I would try to remove the chair rail as it cuts the room too much. If not paint it the same as the bottom colour and remove the white. Or try to paint the wall behind the bed the dark green including the chair rail and leave the sides as they are, again painting the dark rail the bottom colour. Or try to add an additional element of bamboo or lauhala on the bottom part of the walls on the window blind wall.
Stick with either grey neutrals to balance some of the heavier colours or bamboo tones . Whichever way you go good luck. This room has great potential.
