Those faux flowers and foliage pieces were lucky to have someone like you come across them and give them a new home, Mr C.( A reminder to anyone wanting to get rid of their faux flowers and foliage: University theatre departments and school theatre clubs would probably love to have them to add to their props and scenery.) If you're still having a difficult time deciding on a colour, I would suggest keeping the wall white and just putting up artwork in all those colours ( I personally felt like a striped wallpaper in all of those colours plus white would have been very much in line with your personal aesthetic, but I'm not sure it would vibe with the room as is or lend itself to seasonal decor changes). It would give you time to just live with the space, but still have some visual interest. You could even hang up decorative textiles, baskets or even some of the embroidery that you've learned to do. Hope you are well and safe, Mr C🌷.

I vote for Yellow #01 and Green #18. I have 3 wrought iron chairs, 1 vintage chair with floral needlepoint seat and back cushion, some wall art work and various this and that in basically the same green. That and teal kind of seem on trend right now, but I've like this color for years. It's refreshing and calming. I'm sure that whatever you choose, it will look fabulous! Have a great weekend!

I think the green 18 or 7, or yellow at the top or the yellow at the bottom. Take off the ones that are definitely a no and spread the other colours away from each other. Light colours will push the wall away and the darker will bring the wall in. So a feeling of space go light, or a cosy feel go darker. If you choose a darker colour you could always get some thin batton and make a couple of rectangles on the wall and put some of that Libery wallpaper in them? Or get some pieces of art which will stand out on the dark wall. We have a neighbour opposite who often puts things out the front for free. We recently got some plants and a folding lap desk. We have also had a couple of large wooden display shelves and a lovely mirror which I upcycled. It would be good to see some of your upcycles Iwan. Soph.x

I was given a couple of bin bags of faux flowers and foliage almost identical to yours. I use them to fill in spaces in my roof garden in Aberdeenshire where it is very windy and cold during Winter. It’s great to fill out tubs when plants go over or die back. You can hardly notice they are not real and stop the sun from evaporating rain etc. I’m not keen on seeing bare earth in my tubs. The silk flowers are easily washed. Hang them upside down to dry.

Hi Iwan thank you for the video. Love the two panels you have put up in your roof garden. I was thinking if you attached two door knobs in the middle, that might look interesting, almost like doors to a secret garden. For the wall colour I am Liking green 05 or one of the yellows. Love the yellow flowers and pink and green arrangement in the glass vase. Its going to be such fun choosing a colour for your bathroom, I was thinking a soft seude rose pink, with fluffy green or grey towels might look good, so looking forward to see what you will choose.

For watering your roof garden I have an idea for you. Get a length of hose pipe just long enough to reach all your pots, then attach to outside tap (we love an outside tap!) then place the hose pipe IN the watering can and water from can. Saves going back and forth to tap and no spilled water on your boards, works really well. Pipe can be neatly looped over tap when not in use.
