I'm not sure what you mean?I think that would be difficult to do well. Contrasting panels would break it up better I think.

You could also go in the other direction and remove the mouldings and paint all one colour so it looks more like a wall than cupboards.
I think the ideal is to keep the gap. It’s pure Victorian brick work if you insulate it allows the potential damp in bricks to track to the plaster boardWhy not do insulation-backed plasterboard while you're at it?
If its going to be an office/sewing room, you could remove every other long door and have open shelving.It's another "what should I do with these cupboards" post.
What should I do with these cupboards? This room is destined to be a combined office and sewing room when I've finished clearing it, but was originally a bedroom so has a lot of built in cupboards. I was tempted to take them out as they rather dominate the room but actually they will be useful in a sewing room.
I thought of painting them, with some kind of decoration in the currently hessian covered centre panels The hessian definitely has to go.
Also, talk to me about floorboard sanding...

So it does,,I have vacuumed walls before nowIf sanding the floors proper, be mindful of the dust that will collect on/in the hessian. It gets everywhere.
I really like open shelving but it gets so dusty.If its going to be an office/sewing room, you could remove every other long door and have open shelving.
I'd probably paint the rest all one colour.

Not everyone agrees whether the gap is needed or not. But you could just put insulated plasterboard onto the battens. The type with 25mm insulation on the back often isn't much thicker than the thickness of lath&plaster taken off, so might still match up with window surrounds etc.I think the ideal is to keep the gap.

Ultimately I just need it to last a year and needed it fixed quick. Sure there are other things I should be doing with the whole place but I’ve got a wallet full of moths and dust at present
My interior design required some work, unless the brief was
“Corridor in a psychiatric hospital”
I need some colour perspective advice

It fits a double bed in the middle on the let wall. I just need to make the place less “long”
It’s a big wide room just looks fucked
Darker colour on the end walls will draw them in.
I have no more decorating or fluffing up in me
I’ll level up the net curtains in May
Putting the bed in sideways like that has made the room look less long, but the biggest obstacle is the picture rail, because that performs the visual trick of elongating the room, as does having walls painted green either side with white at the end.
Maybe full-length curtains in a dark colour might have a similar effect to painting the far wall in a dark shade?
Not yet, maybe but….Sigh. I can't just bask in the warm glow of achievement and start picking paint colours.
Ooh well done! I tried to get rid of stuff before I moved, but most of my sewing/craft stuff came with me and is sitting in boxes taking up space.Progress report on the spare room clearance and conversion to office/sewing room. I've amazingly/eventually got all the crap sorted, packed, charity shopped, awaiting final rubbish collection on Friday. Gave a ton of stuff away on Olio and sold a few items.
Also taken up the carpet. The boards are not in very good condition so I'm going to have to think if I want to try and restore them or ignore and recarpet or whatever. One is broken, some are quite gappy, there's quite a lot of paint, and a piece of concrete in front of where the fire originally was, also cracked.
There are also some cracks in the walls round the bay window which I'm pretty sure were there before... Probably... Half decided I should get someone to look at them in case there are structural issues Regardless I think I need to get a plasterer in.

I believe the new lino flooring is really great.Proper linoleum isn't plastic. Or you could use cork. No need for plastic, just depends on your budget.
