Definitely requires wallpaper or paint. I would probably go a textured wallpaper like a bronze /gold weave wall paper. It will give the area deapth and frame the space to make a statement. You have the furniture and space for it. Large art or a mirror. I would possibly keep it rectangular or squarish. A rug would soften and fill the space but would have to be selected carefully to ensure no tripping hazard. Maybe something patterned (replicated through abstract & lines like the legs of your table, with a pop of colour and upgrade the vase of flowers to reflect this colour. Basis of design is replication whether it is colour, shape or pattern.

Hi mitz. The first thing I would do is add a slim timber console table to just inside entry, to serve as a place to drop-off zone for keys, wallet, mail, etc. As there is an electrical outlet there, a table lamp would be useful and provide pleasant lighting. You could hang a mirror over the table or a wall hanging or artwork, if you prefer. Just be sure to keep size in perspective to the console and entry area. A woven basket under the console would add texture and provide a bit of storage. By using an electrical power strip you would be able to tidy up the TV, etc. cords and contain them to one wall outlet. You certainly have the wall space to accomodate a large artwork, perhaps something abstract and colourful? I also love wallhangings. Etsy has a number of artists who will custom create to suit your colours, and also size. Whatever you choose, take your time and be sure you really love it. You could also add a potted plant in a raised pot stand and a basket or two (vary size and shape) for greenery and texture and baskets make great storage containers. A grouping would help fill in wall space as well as be practical. At some point, you may like to add an area rug to ground your lounge area and help delineate it from kitchen/dining space. Take things slow and have a good look around before committing to purchase. I check out our many local op shops for used baskets - I've found some lovely ones to hold magazines, plants and throws in my house. Best wishes!

Get a cabinet maker to custom build a work station across the entire width of that blank wall. As it is on full show I would recommend incorporating mainly cupboards and drawers so you can hide stuff away. Consider using a coloured polyurethane and nice stone bench top and cabinetry hardware, as it will be the first thing guests see when entering your home. Contact me if you would like further design suggestions.

I love the look of the house ! I love the glass bricks -- there is no way I would change them . I love the angled glass . I love the round garage window . I could even live with the colour . The 3 things I would change initially is -- 1 -- the front doors . I understand why they are done in charcoal , but I'd be more whimsical -- maybe a bright lipstick red to soften the pink tones , maybe 2 big stainless handles to tie in with the balustrade , maybe rich stained wooden doors with long narrow frosted windows -- the 'ship' look ? 2 -- the front 'fences' . Either they are wooden , or extremely poorly poured concrete . Do them in solid plastered concrete painted/rendered in the house 'pink' -- classy and ties in with the house . 3 -- the plants -- they literally look like those creepers that grow over rocks that haven't been looked after . In my eyes , I imagine a huge ceramic pot at least 1.5mtr round and similar height , filled with several different cactus , on the left hand side . And 3 palm trees planted on the right hand side -- maybe 5 , 8 and 12 metre tall . Miami Vice all the way haha , along witha $500k capital gain !
