what i it about this house that I like so much?

[PrettyCupcake]

and what can I do to emulate the style in my (boring) house

I like the fact that I have the same sofa!

ah well hat is a start, where is it from?

Oh God, what if it is a MN'er house?

I am not stalking you if it is your house!!

Try throwing everything out..including people. Who has a real family and has so much clean white??

carpets have a beige hue to them though,
I already have totally white bedding (except for kids rooms)

It's the sofa, from Habitat.

That is four years old! Shabby chich!

erk- that should read 'Scala sofa'...

I like the natural colour scheme, and it looks clean yet comfortable.

I know, I was trawling house prices in areas I would like to live

The light from the shutters in the living room and symetry probably appeal, colours are easy on the eye. I love the dining chairs and table.

may be that is it, it is stylish but gentle

picture 19- Ikea have a very similar white metal daybed (also comes in black)
this is a v similar bedspread

This place also does a lot of toile de jouey

pic 9- wallpaper - v similar from laura ashley bedding looks like White Company childrens range

the table by the front door is called a butlers tray table (I think), available in lots of places.

pic 21 - the black wallpaper is by Laura Ashley, looks like Erin...

youare amazing! thank you!

That house was owned by someone very into interiors or a professional, even the lighting for the pictures is styled. look at the door picture and symetry there, again in bedroom, very well thought out.

It's decorated like a holiday home, rather than an actual home.

May I suggest www.notonthehighstreet.com as your first por of call when trying to copy the look.

oh god, if I try to emulate it will I look a bit aldi to her harvey nics?

The plantation shutters throughout the house are lovely, but they're very expensive to fit.

The ikea daybed I think is called minnen btw... here

Oh it's luvverly isn't it? To have a house like that I would have to remove my 3 dc and the dog. There are no personal bits at all are there? Just gorgeous furniture.

The general clutter we have is kids toys and homework. Without those my house would be amazing.

It's all very soft, neutral and textileyisn't it? We have a lot of wooden floors - perhaps I need more beige fluffy rugs?
