Master bedroom is now ready for carpet which is being fitted on Friday.
Managed to find some curtains to match the wallpaper (they need taking up) and we've chosen wardrobes/new bed so will get those ordered in the next couple of weeks.
Also picked up a cheap picture from Ikea to brighten up the hallway:

Looking good! I think I'll get something similar to the PAX system myself, I like the one you went with.
What bed did you choose? I'm having difficulty choosing stuff for my new place to be honest so definitely up for any inspiration!
We've kept our old divan and added a new headboard (cheapy Argos one) but we quite like the look of one in Benson's for Beds (Oppulance on something) but until i've decorated the spare room we're going to keep what we haveWhat bed did you choose?

What LED lights did you use for behind the TV in the bedroom? I was thinking of a similar effect for our bathroom ceiling? Were they from Guy?
LOVE the picture lighting too!
All the LEDs and picture lighting was from Guy and his team. Had one issue with the connector cable (too thick to go through the light arm) but they sorted that our very promptly.LOVE the picture lighting too!
To be honest we use the LEDs more than the pedant lights now.
Wow! Top job. Really nice touches with the lighting etc.
I'm trying to make out exactly how you've done the bedroom wall/lighting thing. Is it a band of raised wall? How so, stud work? What lights does it use? LED strips or something?
Cheers.
Edit to add. How do you switch the lighting on behind that pic. Switches at bedside or near door? Is it wired into ceiling light or just on its own? Sorry for the Spanish inquisition.

Thanks for the tip, will check it out.Incidentally, re the lighting, is Guy a PHer? I actually wouldn't mind having some lights in the various rooms above pictures, if there's someone on here who I can trust to sell decent stuff then I'd like to know

No problem. TV is mounted on the wall, then is a frame around that and across the wall (approx 3" deep from memory). Then a couple of sheets of mdf were mounted with a cut off for the TV.

The recess is approx 4" from memory. Eg the studwork is overlapped by the mdf sheet and this creates the channel for the leds to be stuck too.
Lighting is from Guy on here and are the warm white led strips (circa 3m).
They are controlled from a switch by the bed which also controls the main pendent light. So switch by the door is a single (two way I believe) and the switch by the bed is a double.

Ok, thanks for the info. Like I say, really good job you're doing. Well done.The recess is approx 4" from memory. Eg the studwork is overlapped by the mdf sheet and this creates the channel for the leds to be stuck too.
