Living room wall with tv
Comments (24)Doh! Just saw your BR study pix! I wouldn't personally want to repeat the same area, but if you love it, you can. I'd want art. Even black & white art or photos. Something that speaks to you personally so your home doesn't look like a showplace - but like your Home! lol My only other thought is that you don't want it to look too safe - like you couldn't make any decsiions so you just did everything in either black or white. You want the design to look purposeful. Search Houzz for black & white living rooms & you'll find lots of inspiration (which you probably have doen already!). Just for fun, I've attached a couple of pix of an arc lamp we have in our apartment. The globe is glass & my DH hit his head on it & broke it once. That's why it's not really properly placed but is too close to the wall! lol Live & learn! That's the only way to make it in life!...See MoreNeed help decorating this wall
Comments (51)Unfortunately, you have made the television your focal point, the television should be on the wall where the art is. So put the art where the TV is and put your three seater lounge under it. the two single chairs go directly opposite the TV, also the ottoman should be a rectangle and the white chair should go to the other side of the room near the large window with a small side table as a reading nook. The furniture can float in the room and does not have to sit right near the walls. Also I would mount the TV on the wall and have a full width timber floating shelf (ideally with storage in it) about 30cm top to bottom. Hope this helps and the room appears more open and inviting.

Comments (9)Sesame, I used to have a granny flat-type office separate from the main house, so I can empathise. What do you intend to do in the office? It's a different thing if it's just to pay bills, vs studying, vs work on client projects all day, ie how long do you spend there? (the lack of windows is a concern). You might want to think in terms of zones: eg, a reclining chair to catch up on reading, separate from the desk, separate from the filing area (ie filing cabinets acting as divider). Maybe one wall painted with whiteboard paint. A little refreshment station (kettle/urn) to make a cup of tea might be welcome if the office is far from the kitchen....See MoreKnock down walls for a more open plan, or renovate as is??
Comments (39)Hi Bec, sorry for taking so long to respond, I have been trying to find a way that could work for you I finally decided to do what I would if it was my house. It may seem extreme but for me it simplifies the angles, giving you a kitchen/dining/family/living The new Kitchen retains part of the old wall between the kitchen and living if needed to perform as load bearing, the island butts up to this, The rear southern wall of kitchen cabinets extends across the dining for extra storage or pantry and takes advantage of the French doors to the Alfresco. Moving the kitchen plumbing to the external southern wall should be achievable, having two plumbers in the family is a big plus I came to this idea after checking out the link you provided which is posted below which shows the whole floorplan and how it would flow and work for you and family when they visit, you can add doors between the family and dining if wanted. Again looking at the link ,your Spanline alfresco appears it may have been done in two stages, the first part has a gable roof which I would keep along with the brick wall and add white shutters above that and full height bi fold shutters across from the brick shuttered wall to the wall of the house. By removing the flat roof section but retaining the slab will help lighten the South facing bedrooms and open up the house to the lovely rear garden you mentioned https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/5981026/inviting-suggestions-update-demolish-a-spanline-style-addition...See MoreRachael Crowther
