Hey,

I hope you are all doing fine. I' m here, because I really need your help and advices. The thing is, tomorrow I will start repairing my house. I really want to improve my living room, bedroom and kitchen interior. Thinking about door colors with light and fast accents. What do you think? Maybe you have seen some nice ideas of such interior? Pictures or links would be really helpful. By the way, I also want to install roller blinds. What do you think about these

? Are they good. I like that they are unique and not so expensive. Still need more options :)

If you install roller blinds, make sure you use plenty long screws into sold wood. That way they won't end up laying on the floor after a year or two...

Roller Blinds, I'm not too keen on. There's no privacy adjustment with the light-level adjustment. But, they're great for an open-in-the-morning and closed-at-night lifestyle. In that case, I'd go for very much cheaper and trouble-free drapes and curtains...if those aren't too heavy or overbearing for you.

Color's a wonderful thing and I presume you're already at the monotone stage looking for a change. However, if your place is small and doesn't get much Sun throughout the entire day, then "cozy" can seem cramped and depressing. Try out an Accent Wall here and there before overcommitting.
