Hi, I’m Kelly Hoppen, welcome to week 4 of Room Rescue!

This week’s room is Jo Greenwood’s sitting room in Chiswick. She moved in recently and is eager to start decorating: “We want to stamp some personality onto the blank canvas.”.

Take a look at the redesign created by the mydeco 3d tool…

My goodness where do I start! The idea of using Moroccan influence does not give you a license to use every colour in the palette, colours should be considered carefully. The fireplace has to go, it’s just wrong for Moroccan theme, it’s the wrong period and it’s too tall. I would have removed it leaving a recess in the wall which could then have been accessorised. The seating needs to be much rounder and naturally textured and the lighting should be within the bay window and hung much lower.

Think you can do better? Put your design skills to the test and redesign next week’s room. Or to enter a room in your house for a redesign, email a high resolution photograph to roomrescue@mydeco.com.
