hey all,
I'm new to renotalk.. joined as my parents are rebuilding the front extension of our inter-terrace house, and after 20 plus years of having a bland living room, i'm taking charge and have decided to incorporate the rich, sultry colours of India/Mororro to give that cosy look.
I'm wondering if anyone has gone down this path before? I've been seeing very sleek, contemporary themes here, which are really great, but don't suit my family's personality. I'm looking at warm yellow, rich maroon coloured walls, lots of intricately designed cushions, ornate dark wood furniture, mirrored/stain glass light hangings etc.
However, i'm clueless on the ceiling lights, e.g. downlights- yellow or white? White would be too stark, and yellow wouldn't be suitable for the times we want to sit and read there. What about ceiling fans? How would i incorporate that? Also, the flooring is an issue. I was thinking neutral homogeneous tiles, with a mosaic border or something. Any suggestions please?
I've tried googling but if anyone has any resources that you could point me to, i'd be really grateful.
Many thanks!
