Ideas for a summer feel all year round for a utility/conservatory room?

My house is open plan and there at the back there is an area which is very warm due to the sun trap i have in my garden so i can sit in a chair there and feel the warmth coming through the windows. I have glass doors also there so its a very nice room in the house. Thing is i want to paint it and refloor it and i want to do it with a summer theme so even in horrible rainy days etc the little bit of warmth can still come through the windows and brighten the room. I dont have an unlimited budget so it has to be something reasonable. what colour of paint? its cream just now and the living room is cream and chocolate on the arch seperating the rooms. The floor is an old stone floor which is terrible looking coz we lifted the laminate due to my dogs tearing it up. I would like to do something temp on the floor as i cant afford a proper floor until next spring & i would like to have something in place for this month as im starting a new job in october. Painting it myself is cheap.
I cant believe that i check back and find only 2 answers and they are from ***** wanting points for answering.
Good, yahoo must have removed the timewasters, its nice to see they do remove the edjits on occasion.

A blonde painting?

This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid, so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.

He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is ok. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing. She replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house.

He then asks her why she has a ski jacket and a fur coat on.

She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said "For best results, put on two coats."

What can I wash the walls with?

My living room walls are magnolia and are quite grubby (baby hand prints etc). I live in a rented house so I need to know what to use to not cause any damage. I don’t want to repaint! Would sugar soap do anything? It looks like normal house paint, I don’t know the difference between emulsion or any other paint. Thanks

My house is always cold, even in summer?

It can be 25 degrees outside, brilliant sunshine, and yet when I step foot in my house it’s chilled. It’s really depressing. In the winter the central heating is on full almost all the time.

The walls are painted plaster and there are two large rugs covering the centre of the dining room and living room, the floors of which are wood laminate. The sun doesn’t pour into the ground floor, but it’s not exactly a dark room. Any suggestions how I can warm it up?

What rates can i expect to pay a painter & decorator?

I’m after having my home painted from top to bottom – each room.

So that is a large hallway, a box sized toilet room, a box bedroom, two double bedrooms, two average sized bathrooms, a large and high ceiling kitchen/dining/living room.

A couple of coats of paint.

I’m just wondering how much i might expect to pay for the labour in the south of England?

Thanks
