ADVICE

My living room walls are off-white and one of the walls is green. What kind of curtains should I choose?

ADVICE

Reader's question

"I'd love it if you could recommend what colours I should choose for the new curtains in my living room. The walls are all painted in an off-white colour except for one that is a light green. The couches are beige and the rest of the furniture is wenge. The curtain will be hung on the green wall where the window is.

I desperately need your help, cause I don't want the room to end up looking either too much or too blant and everyone I ask seems to have a completely different suggestion. (The general style of the house is modern in earth tones.)"

Reader's question 

"In a past article, you have mentioned that a kitchen countertop's typical height is at 90cm. However, I am quite tall for a woman (at 1.80m) so I suggested that my carpenter builds the countertop a bit higher (at 95cm). I am not quite sure about that decision and I would appreciate your input on the matter."
 
   

The sofa is dark, grey and large in measurements. What rug to choose?

ADVICE

            

Readers question:

“The flooring of my apartment is white marble with light veins. The walls are light beige. I am planning to purchase a dark grey sofa, quite large in measurements. The style of the sofa is modern. What color to choose for the rug in the living room?”

Fireplace, marble, flooring grey, sofa, leather

Our advice:

The sofa will probably work as the focal point of the living room due to its large measurements and its imposing style. The dark grey color and the leatherish texture of the sofa make the furniture look quite austere. So our opinion is to opt for a lighter rug to make a modest contrast with the sofa.

   

What colour should I choose for a teen bedroom?

ADVICE

Reader's question
“I'm considering changing my bedroom's colour and I need your help. I am 16 years old and my bedroom has brown furniture and an irrelevant black TV unit that my parents won't let me throw away. Patio doors take up one wall almost completely and opposite that wall is the TV unit and a chest of drawers, so that leaves very little surface of wall uncovered. My bed and my desk take up the two remaining walls. Regarding the colours, I would like to have a two toned concept and this is where you come, because I need advice on some colour combinations. Thanks in advance”
