A similar problem occurred before. There is no problem with voltage as it is the light bulb but the installation needs to be done by an electrician or else your fire insurance might not cover it.

I would do a few things. Firstly, the kitchen area is nicely enclosed but lacks overheads, and this back wall has the potential to really impact the kitchen, so I would consider overhead cabinets across this wall, or at the least, floating shelving..which Fiona_ab has some great tips on I've read! I would address the tiles beneath, by installing simple overheads not to the ceiling, and a new splash back, you not only will improve storage, but also lighting and meet the regulations on having a proper range hood. The cabinets would be inexpensive, shelves even more so, and splash back choices can be also. I suggest looking into a product called metaline by laminex, an acrylic, fire rated product that appears as a glass splash back, but which can be cut onsite. S easy for DIY ers. Secondly, paint it out in a light neutral with a pink base, as your kitchen cabinetry look like mushroom and oyster linea laminex, with the standard flecked top, which has a grey tone to it. I'm suggesting going with this, as the kitchen is the single most permanent installation in your space, so work with it, and it will feel unified and cohesive. Directly behind your island back, this naturally would fit a dining or small meals space, position your table lenghtways to extend your room, and help allow it to be divided down the middle, so a sofa can be placed back to it facing toward the internal tv corner?.. The two windows would become a focus in your new meals space, so consider pai ting this wall, which sticks out thanks to the kitchen recess, in a slighted darker shade of your wall colour. And in-between your two windows, either a large mirror with a dresser or console below, or a gorgeous abstract artwork, that fills the wall with exaggerated scale, and introduces a colour palette for soft furnishing for you. And zone your space. Build layers in each spot, a rug just placed under your sofa, ambient lighting in each zone, and perhaps a statement pendant above your dining table, address window dressings, as it's an open shared space, I think keeping them the same will be best, so I'd go a shutter so light is maximized but privacy and function can still be sectioned off.

Choosing a real estate agent can be a difficult undertaking. Several elements played a vital influence in my decision-making process when I was choosing mine. First and foremost, trust was essential. I sought out an agent with a strong market reputation, one with a track record of successful transactions and great customer feedback. It provided me with an opportunity to assess their professionalism, communication style, and general approach. By the way, has anyone ever worked for COBALT CORPORATION PTY LTD? I've heard good things about their commitment to clients and real estate market expertise, but I'd love to hear your own experiences or observations.

Check out your local $2 shop/reject/hot dollar shop/Lincraft/Spotlight stores for big blank canvases (no frames) and vases etc that you can make your own. Create your own abstract art or cover it with a stunning piece of fabric to fill the space on your walls and horizontal surfaces. Do get some table/floor lamps - any room will feel far more homely and cozy with them rather than overhead lights (just remember to use warm bulbs!). If you can get your hands on a sewing machine - if you're creative and love to change your décor as cushion covers, lounge covers, curtains can be super expensive to buy and you can make your own unique ones - or individualize ones that you've bought to give them a designer feel) For ideas on looks, tips and tricks and diy décore craft check out Robeson Design and How To Live Your Style on Youtube.
