Help! Staircase + Matching Flooring Hello! I could really use expert advice. Our main floor has cherrywood hardwood floors. Our staircase is slightly less red. However, our upstairs flooring is all carpeted. We are going to remove the carpet but we don’t know what colour floor to put down that will match the staircase. In the picture, the little strip of wood is our hardwood floo…

Would it be a bad idea to ‘close concept’ our house? This is our secondary living/dining room. Currently the official dining area is used as an office, and our table is in the living space. We rarely use the space because we eat at the kitchen island, but eventually (with kids) we will use the table and I’d prefer it be directly off the kitchen for easy access. Originally we were going to add Fre…

Who’s fault? Building a home and hired an interior designer. For the flooring in one large area the design team selected a specific tile. They showed us a sample of it and we approved it trusting in the team. The tile was laid on the floor and it looked horrendous.

I was thinking of going for an ivory or cream patterned rug. I am not that great at getting colours to compliment, so would be grateful of any advice. I want the rug to go under the coffee t…

Layout where to put the desk (1, 2 or 3)? I’m about to move to a new apartment and I’m struggling with the layout. My furniture for sure fits in the new place as it’s bigger but I can’t seem to figure out where to put my desk so as not to divide the space in a strange way. So far my options are: as in the picture (best option so far) the desk in the upper right corner against the wall….
