"While renovating my bathroom I faced the issue of finding an elegant way to fit the laundry machine in my almost square bathroom. The dimensions of the bathroom are 1.95 x 2.10 m and there is a 0.80m door on the side of the 2.10m wall. To help you further picture the space I've included a rough sketch. Thank you in advance for your consideration and I'm looking forward to your ideas."

"We are renovating our bedroom and I am confused about what kind of hardwood floor matches best with the wardrobe and the doors, that are wenge in color"
Our answer:
Choosing the kind of hardwood floor that best fits your bedroom is a crucial decision to make. There are issues of both substance and style that need to be taken into account.
The basic elements in your bedroom (the wardrobe and the doors) are wenge in color. Wenge is a tropical timber, an African wood, very dark in color with a strong wood pattern, warm in feeling and suitable for formal settings. Usually, a black streaking is present throughout the surface. It is also a hard and heavy wood, ideal for flooring, furniture and staircases and dark enought to be used as a substitute for ebony.
Since, wenge wood is dominant in your bedroom we suggest you to choose for the flooring a light-colored wood or in other words we suggest you to think of the flooring as a background that will make a contrsast with the dark surfaces and at the same time will high light them. Preferably, choose a wood variety with yellow, gold, red or honey shades.
Suggested wood varieties are:
Though, you should have in mind that the finish is what gives the floor its final color and luster.

"I have an old armchair which I would like to renovate. I have painted the arms and legs with silver spray paint. I am thinking to place it in my bedroom, but I do not know what kind of fabric and what color to choose for reupholstering it! The room is done in white tones-white curtains, off-white color walls, gray upholstered bed with high headboard, and white lamp shades with polished nickel details. It would be most helpful if you could give me some ideas! Thank you in advance! "
