would it be a bad idea to post photos of my house on here, will you lot rip it to death?

[gingertabby]

i was thinking of poting so photos, i the hope some kind soul would give us some decorating ideas.
but i think it might ripped to death

basically its all wooden floors and white walls minamal in style which was fine as a couple but its not really working as a family hime iyswim.

i want to add colour in the acesories.
and still have alot of white and wood in the back ground
any ideas how i can do this.
ive thought of art work, cushions, rug, vases etc.

i like duck egg blue

dark pink with lime

any other colour ideas welcome.

It sounds as though the worst that someone could say is "it's a bit bland/dull/minimalist" which I'm sure you're tough enough to take.

Or am I just nosey and therefore underestimating the mumsnet trolls honesty in a bid to see your photos?

Rugs and cushions are an easy way to add a splash of colour. Is there an alcove or fireplace you could paint a bold colour?

Post them, no one will judge.

I'm into duck egg with chocolate here. We have wooden floors and neutral walls. Lots of cushions, rugs, pictures etc. No clutter but the odd nice pot or bowl. We're quite coastal though, so I've kind of gone with that look.
I like the Laura Ashley catalogue for ideas, and it's not all chintz in there, they do simple too. Or John lewis?

[gingertabby]

there are no alcoves or fire places. it white and light wood only.

[llareggub]

[gingertabby]

like this but no black chair plants or lamps, but that is also what are sofas like although its whiter.
very very plain

[harpomarx]

stop harassing her, people.

We do not think you live in a brothel gingertabby. We think you live in a wood and white minimalist oasis.

we just want to see it. NOW!

[gingertabby]

well it was an oasis pre kids!

[Pannacotta]

Is this a pic of your actual sitting room? If so am v impressed/amazed given you have DCs.....

[mazzystartled]

wallpaper is good idea. reversible, changeable, cheap
a few cushions
a fat boy bean bag in a strong funky colour and a few cushions
go to habitat

[gingertabby]

what sort of things by block prints?

[childrenofthecornsilk]

Is that your house?

[gingertabby]

not my actual house, but this is what it looks like, but even blander/duller.
white sofas white walls light wood floor.

[harpomarx]

how old kids?

how about a blackboard wall? That way you can have it bland classy minimalist when you like but also really colourful when the kids want.

great big colourful rug, hard floors not so great for crawling, playing on hands and knees.
