Hello everyone, thank you for your comments. It is my first time using Houzz forum so I'm pleasantly surprised by the responses. My furniture: I have mainly neutral tone furnitures (white B&B fat fat coffee tables, B&B Solo couch with light grey textured upholstery, Eames LCW chair in birch, an opaque glass rectangular dining table with black metal legs, Starck Lizz white dining chairs, and light brown leather bed frame, Cassina Utreche dark brown leather armchairs, etc) and I spice it up with red/colorful accessories (red Vitra elephant stool, red Vitra ball clock, orange smeg fridge, etc). Hope you don't mind me going into details on the furniture. I hope to give you all an idea of how my space looks like for better advice on the curtains. I prefer curtains to blinds because I find blinds difficult to clean (I prefer to be able to wash my curtains). I agree that grey may not be a lasting colour. My current curtains are off white/beige. I have my day curtains in organza with some designs on it and night curtains in 100% cotton. However, I realize that I do get tired of the print on the day curtains so I want to try a plain one for my new home. In additon, I want more light to come through the day curtains. For the night curtains, I'm trying to avoid cotton since I realize that it shrinks easily (even dry cleaning). My curtain maker says polyester has less shrinkage and are easier to wash and does not trap dust unlike cotton. I'm toying with the idea of the linen like fabric for a slightly different feel but I've not seen this in actual curtains before and I'm worried it may not turn out well. For organza, I know it will be a safe choice. I'm torn between being on the safe side (but almost everyone else will have similar day curtains in our condo) or trying the linen. What do you all think? Will you go for safe off white/beige organza or slightly different off white/beige linen-like fabric? Sorry that my comments are so long.

I have to say that well made Roman Shades are not cheap, they are the higher end of the market. Secondly the thing to consider is that they are an all or nothing product, they are either open or closed. What part of the country do you live in? What direction do the windows face, and how often are those doors used? Drapery that can not be moved completely out of the way will get caught in the doors all the time, so while I hate taking out a window for any reason, removing it might make sense as it seems rather redundant. Don't do any type of venetian if this door is used a lot, and if you do, make sure you do an outside mount, allowing for the stack to go above the frame of the doors when they are open. I suggest that you look into Hunter Douglas Polysatin Shutters, they are great on french doors, and the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Vertiglide is perfect on doors, they also come as a duo light, meaning you can put two blinds into one product - so a sheer and an opaque or semi-opaque product. Just some thoughts to consider.

Hi Ken, I am not certain still as what you are really want advice on, as the picture you attached does not show the rest of the room. Looking at the picture, i can only advice you to shop for a new set of bedlinen and duvet which hopefully comes with 2 pillowcases. Once you have decided on a colour and pattern of your choice, you could add an accent scatter cushion if you like. I hope that answers your query? If not feel free to contact us and we could come around and help you.

Hello, In 3 years time, you need to put back the wall since u have a 9 yrs old Son hitting teenager and expect own space or your girl would prefer her private space as girl and part of build self-respected lady. Beginning putting them together helps build bond and family strength. Best to start building independence early, makes your parenting easier. Build a home rather than a house. A space is meant to build relationship. With your family size, I would not suggest breaking wall. Extend living room, best is extending into balcony by creating same levels as living room. Now got zip blinds which seal aircon space within balcony open to living. Having glass showcase is good for your toys display. See idea from Ikea. For your new home starting, get basic done prosper. Basic means the essentials. For other parts, take your time and enjoy finding more ideas and shopping around till the great feeling comes to u. If not sure, I think Ikea has many combinations so if u do not like after few years, easy to do make-over. Expensive furniture is too painful to change. Ha! More space for bedroom? use the folding type beds and double as study table. I use platform bed like Japanese room. For Long dining tables, there are extendable type when guests comes. Ikea comes cheapest. There are premium in other Malls. Get extra chair that is stackable not foldable, hurt kids fingers and takes space. Have fun!

We were pleasantly surprised by the choice in Furniture Village. We moved last year and had to get a temporary storage ottoman king size bed as we have absolutely no storage in our new house.

Luckily there was a sale on and we got a fabulous bed for about 1/3rd of the original price. We are so impressed with the quality that we are going to keep it. It’s got a mustard tall cushioned headboard and base and I love it!

I recently got a replacement bed from Dreams and I am so pleased with it. I already had a recently new mattress and the two together made a very comfy bed.

The Simba Hybrid Pro mattress seems to get really good reviews. My brother got one last year and because of them mentioning it, my dad got one too. i would try and test a mattress though if possible.

Re beds, personally i think I’d buy one with a company whom offers an installation service or maybe it’s just me! We bought a pretty expensive bed last year and the slats do not fit together (design error not DIY issue in this case!). We also bought a dear 4 poster when we moved in and had to get a joiner in! Luckily the company refunded his costs but even so. Ironically I also had a cheap bed from Argos and one from ebay, no construction issues with them!

Button and Sprung who used to be on here get really good reviews and they have some lovely beds and i believe they construct the beds

Dreams deliver to the room of your choice and assemble the bed. There is a charge for this but worth it.
