House makeover
Comments (2)I love the sound of teak, timber garage doors and bluestone roof. I suggest teaming it with a warm neutral, such as Dulux Camel Hide, which is a rich beige with a hint of terracotta. Alternatively, if you want to go even more terracotta and earthy, Dulux Cuddlepot is a great rich colour! Just make sure you do a test patch first before committing, as colour can change depending on it's surroundings. Good luck...See MoreHouse makeover
Comments (28)something like this would be simple and easy to do over the front porch (btw the strong colours are just to male it easier to see and i haven't included downstairs and the steps to make it quicker to produce an image for you) any other changes to the main roof are very expensive options that don't necessarily change the quality of living inside the house but removing the ceiling in the living areas can sometimes be worth considering to enhance the feeling of space provided the insulation is upgraded to compensate...See MoreWhat do you think of my home makeover?
Comments (15)Shazia you're a brave woman indeed to invite "all opinions" and fortunate that houzzers tend to be helpful not hurtful. Your opinion is ultimately what counts of course. Whilst difficult to judge without seeing the room in it's entirety this is what I'd try if it were my home. I question the location of the dining area and wonder if you've tried or considered moving it nearer the kitchen? I'd move the elaborate mirror to end wall on it's own where the a/c - security box are (they may need to be moved across a bit, I've done it, it's easy), with the dining suite there. The mirror won't fight with the Chesterfields then and would work well with the dining suite. I'd move the dark corner bookcase next to the stairwell, it looks like it would fit and make the room less busy. Bring the wall unit up to it moving the TV unit down where I'm assuming the wall unit ended before. Then you could arrange your couches into an L with space enought to walk between window and couch facing the kitchen and space to walk behind the other couch facing the TV to walk in and out of the sliding door creating a cosy nook. The cow rug would work a treat. I'd place the Moroccan table with the Tiffany lamp in the corner void created where the couches meet. It would create defined areas whilst still looking open. That's my taste of course and know that my ideas usually takes hours, days, weeks of moving and shoving things around until it feels right. If it feels right it is right Shazia.

Comments (3)I second Rhonda’s comment - Feast Watson are widely available and have good tints. If you take a pic to the paint shop, you could ask for help with choosing a colour. One tip: try a small sample first somewhere inconspicuous if possible. Look at it over a few days/different light conditions to help decide if it’s right for you :)...See Morearcmaz
