Its a really lovely room! what a great place for kids to share. I like kids sharing rooms. I think you need another colour to tie it together. I would suggest a blue tone.... teal, navy blue, duck egg blue. to tie it together. Its a little to pale and looks sparse, but actually isn't. I would leave everything exactly as is, BUT, paint the back wall behind the bed teal and find a simple navy blue wall decal that is fun and kid- like maybe one with a sillouette of a boy and girl playing. I would paint the wall behind the sofa duck egg blue. Then I think it would suit both kids more and look more kid friendly. the blues will balance the pink and cream, but because you have a pale carpet i don't think it will look too dark. don't worry about making it totally kid like, its a room they will grow with, not a kindergarten, and it also needs to peaceful and restful for sleeping. besides with their art on the walls and bright toys everywhere it soon looks bright and kid like. Good luck!

I feel the room will look even smaller if we went with option B because of the heavy furniture. Do you think the wardrobe wouldn't look pleasing with option A? Also, I can get the whole wall to decorate in option A.

Coffee tables are the focal point of your living room. Whether its a small family gathering or a house party, everyone will end up using it – eventually! Styling this standalone piece of furniture can really help you create an impeccable surface that every guest appreciates. Stuck on how to style your coffee table? Here are some steps to follow and you’ll nail it like a pro. Define your style Choose a theme that matches the overall decor style of your house. It can be contemporary, modern, vintage, eclectic, bohemian or any other. Use a tray, bowl or a stylish plate You coffee table can’t look too pristine or too cluttered that there’s no space left for mail, documents or afternoon tea. Instead, you want to go for a beautiful yet practical aesthetic. Trays are excellent way to make a stack look clean and confined. Use rule of three to group items For decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. The easiest way to use rule of three is by creating three stacks or grouping three different items together. Make a personal design statement We tend to save objects like family memories and souvenirs for bookshelves or console tables. Items like a family heirloom piece, your DIY project or even a memento from a memorable trip can have more impact when placed on a coffee table, where people congregate. Don’t be afraid of throwing in a few unexpected personal items – especially ones with interesting backstories. Living element Plants are a great way to add some nature to your interior decor, and coffee tables are one of the best places to show them off. Add a dash of green and contemporary style to your tabletop with some of these plants (or any other) – succulents jade plant money plant aloe cactus moss baby rubber plant spider plant string of pearls Play with heights One mistake people often make with their coffee table is displaying too many objects of the same height. Play with the heights and scale of objects to give structure to your composition and make it more dynamic. It also adds visual interest. Stack books Books make for excellent decor subjects. Each has something awesome and unique about it. It’s definitely something to draw inspiration from. Using books as raises for knick knacks is actually visually pleasing and organized. The book stack also adds height to the display. Lastly, they add character and a personal touch. Coffee table styling is a bit of an art. Above all else, consider how you use your coffee table before you choose how to style it. A table may be expertly styled but it wont be functional if it doesn’t serve the purpose that its owner has in mind. P.S. – Hey people. If you find this useful then do like, comment and share.
