The Construction of a New Home from Start to Finish Part 4

38) Flooring

The rest of the floor coverings throughout the house are large Persian rugs on top of a sisal look wool carpet.

Once again that earthy feel through the flooring but still maintaining the luxury of a modern wool carpet.

39) Entrance

The main entrance with double doors and shuttered peepholes.

The arched ceiling running the length of the entrance helps create that feeling of movement towards the entry or the living area.

40) Bridge Beam

This is a close up of a bridge beam lintel set into the wall.

This blue is also in the sand effect paint and is used as a feature colour of the conservatory.

 

41) 42) 43) and 44) Plasterwork

The house is nearing completion with the second to last coat of the plastering being finished.

Note how the polystyrene corbels are now gone and are plastered as part of the building.

45) 46) and 47) Bedrooms

Three different rooms with the same colour to the walls and finish to the floors but with dramatically different looks through the use of the soft furnishings.

Traditional fabric to match the bed ends.

Fun and colorful fabric provides a fresher more modern look.

Note that although it is fun to paint each room with a totally different scheme it is often a great deal of work and not practical to do so.
Soft furnishings can change each room while keeping the paint color system similar if not the same for each room.
It is very easy to give the room a new look with soft furnishings.

To view room 46 in different colorways
