There's a fab thread on here called Your setups where lots of geeks have put photos of their rooms on, great for inspiration. Do a search for it and enjoy! Xx

Aw thanks for the nice comments ladies and about the website too- good old moonfruit!

Best thing i would suggest is get all your furniture in and flooring and then have a look at the accessories you can add for some colour, the silver I find just lightens the theme a bit as black and white can be a bit plain- i do love an accessory!

I have the wood laminate flooring in my salon but in my bedroom with the same colour scheme i have dark grey almost black carpet, the dark flooring really does look nice, so your idea of the black laminate flooring would look ace i think.

Have a little look on the thread posted above, there are lots of lovely ideas on there.

Aw thanks hun i did the website myself, based it on a template on moonfruit and went from there. Ive spent hours on my site lol had so many different ways but finally decided on this one which i tweak and update regularly, which is no bad thing for your position on google

The video i did was on picasa, its a free download where you can crop, resize and make photos into collages and also videos. Then upload to you tube add music and post on your site
When im on big pc ill post the picasa link if you cant find it, another lovely geek pointed me in the direction of it (thank you bluerose).

Just remember when you have wallpaper that it has to stay for a while, unlike paint lol. Get some swatches and get an idea. I personally like dark flooring and i think if your walls are white that lifts it.

Aw is he, kents a big place, where abouts is he from? X
