Help finishing off the main bedroom
Here we have the master bedroom. Its not massive but fits a queen bed in there.
Im keeping everything thats there (in other words I dont have funds to change doona covers etc or furniture) but I was hoping to finish this off so its "complete" but I don't know if the walls are to bare behind the bed? I feel it needs something to add to this room. I am planning on curtains down the track as it only has a blind that opens onto the street...
I like the black, gold and beige theme .. Not wanting to add anymore colour.
I was wondering about a wallpaper or something? Maybe need to change the lamp shades as well?

What to do with fireplace in main bedroom,which was previously kitchen
Comments (24)By viable I mean workable, functional. A chimney sweep or a builder adept in chimneys will give you a report. Certainly enquire about a future gas fitting rather than logs if possible. I say this as a fireplace anywhere is delightful and, if downstairs, it could heat upstairs through the house, to a certain point too. If you look at the quality of the brick laying, you will see that its not meant to be a feature which is why it was rendered, but that is choice only. Certainly seal the bricks. Good luck and stay with it if you can. Everybody loves the romance of a fire....See MoreEn-suite or not in main bedroom ?
Comments (55)I think you should explore the idea of getting a Pod on the deck. its like a mini granny flat / cabana with toilet and small multi purpose room. You might have the space for this. Your layout looks fine as it is, and if you have a covered pergola, a second toilet in a pod will works well there. I am a bit against adding plumbing and moving walls to your house. First its a mess. lots of putting pipes under the flooring, fixing the flooring again, also ceiling and conrice works, and you end up with smaller bed, tighter layout. Too much sacrifice and not too much to gain....See MoreCan you help this bedroom? Lamps especially
Comments (24)How exciting for you to have such a clean clear slate to work with. Your room a somewhat like mine in a house we have just renovated and I had some great advice from our project manager/designer. We also have a huge window with an amazing outlook, one we didn't want to hide but needed covering at night. She helped us choose full sized curtains in a sheer texture that softened the room but even when the curtains are closed, still allow the outside view and colours to show. They stack back to either side of the window. Of course the roller blind is ideal for privacy and it is so well hidden when retracted. When your curtains are open it looks like you have the beautiful piece of art with that view. When our curtains are open we have a lake and huge jacaranda outside so I placed a piece of Indigenous art on the opposite wall which bought in colour, particularly the mauve of the jacaranda, to the room. Not sure what your fourth wall is like but would there be room to put your existing green based art on that wall, to reflect the outside green. The chair in the room is probably a little large but there is no sense putting it in the other corner unless your are ready to drag it across the room when you want to watch tv (when everyone else is watching something on the other tv). What about moving your plant into the corner beside the tv on a raised stand. With a smaller chair and the plant moved then two large freestanding lamps would look great. Can't wait to see your new artwork and where your room goes from here. I hope my photos help with my explanation, note the jacaranda was at the end of its flowering. We have since finished the room and introduced a little more colour....See MoreIdeas for teen bedroom/s downstairs.
Comments (39)My daughter ran her business from her bedroom until they could afford a 3 bedroom house, their 2 bedder with two boys and no where else to fit an office was a very difficult time which thankfully they all survived. Having your office in your bedroom should be avoided at all cost, as you never leave the office behind as my daughter found out. Your bedroom is where you go to relax , I certainly wouldn't give up my sanctuary for anyone, even my kids. You are there full time so it makes sense. Your house already has enough rooms, except for making a small change to allow for another bedroom albeit small next to the bathroom as per my suggestion, Both of these rooms have space for the boys to have a desk (they don't need a lot of storage being part time) The desk in the living area can be built in to hide an office. This is a low cost solution and won't damage resale value. If down the track you can afford the new deck, try to work out to fit a room underneath as a hang out (media) area for the boys. not sure about WA but rooms like these in some states can have ceiling height at 2100, depends on what name!! you give them. My son is in a similar situation to you, except he now lives in a Studio Apartment in Sydney, so when he has his two kids 50 50 they make do in that space and seem to manage very well....See More

I need to pick fabric for the curtains ...
this is the wallpaper going behind the bed
as you can see its light and natural as I didnt want something dark to close in the room.
I'm wondering about Dark coloured curtains? Im hoping to get rid of the blind and put sheers behind the curtains for practicality sake.
Do you have any suggestions about the curtain fabric? the rest of the house is done in Zepel Luxor Pearl Fabric which is light and airy.. however this dosent have to be the same but IM a fan of silk curtains that puddle nicely ..
