Sandra’s sofa corner……
Sandra, what I’ve done here is cosy up this corner and make the whole room feel more connected. The raspberry sofa is gorgeous, but it’s quite a strong block of colour and, at the moment, it doesn’t relate to very much else in the room. I did try bringing more raspberry into the rug, but it became too dominant and made the corner feel overcrowded. I think the better approach is to keep the rug light and simple, making sure it’s the right size and easy to clean. I’ve put the television onto the wall, as you said you were planning to do, and added a wall-mounted base unit underneath for the Sky box and any other TV controls. I’ve also shown a warm LED light beneath it, which should be very straightforward to do. If there isn’t already a conduit behind the wall for the television cables, you’ll probably need a panel behind the TV to conceal them, but that’s easily done. On the wall behind the sofa, I’ve shown two options: painting it in the Caraway green or keeping it the same colour as the other walls. More importantly, I think the focus there should be the artwork, as this can pull together the raspberry, green, plum and warmer tones from around the room. I’ve shown something quite fun and broad in style, but artwork is very subjective. If you have any ideas about what you might like, I can help guide you towards something that works. I’ve taken out the floor lamp because I don’t think it works with the new arrangement. Instead, I’ve shown two small glass table lamps with black bases and raspberry, ruby and plum-coloured glass. They’ll give a lovely pop of colour at that end of the room, both during the day and when lit in the evening. I’ve added a plant at the window, although we’ll need to choose that carefully depending on the aspect. If the window is southwest-facing, for example, it could become extremely hot. Finally, I’ve added cushions that pick up a few of the colours elsewhere in the scheme, along with a black tray on the ottoman. That gives you a practical surface for cups, while also allowing for a few accessories and another layer of detail.

September always feels a bit like a new year to me.
Everyone is back, routines start again, evenings begin to change, and you suddenly start noticing the house properly again. So, very simple question for today: What is the one thing in your house you’d really like to sort out before winter? Could be something small. Lighting. A room you never use properly. Storage. A draughty window. A bathroom that annoys you. A corner that just doesn’t work. Put it below. I’d genuinely love to see what comes up, and I might pick a few and give you my thoughts.

O lovely Eily I like the 1st one and as it’s such a small space I think I could do the wall paper myself
