have you ever try Wall Mural, it will colorful your room , and extend you vision.

I used it onanodised aluminium though. Do a test patch first.

Dr Retro, you are a designer after my own heart! My triple fronted brick veneer house was built in 1965, extended in 1970 and I try and stick to furnishings and influences from the 1950s to the end of the 1970s! I am its third owner, but have discovered its history via my elderly neighbours. I also have lots of antique vases, crystal and fine bone china, as was popular in the 1960s and 70s in my lounge room. Cannisters in the kitchen are all straight from the 1960s purchased by my mother, then handed on to me. Meanwhile my sun room is an explosion of plants , cane, colour and knotted pine feature wall. Whilst I have double glazed and slightly tinted the lounge room windows for privacy, I try and maintain the period integrity and hope to heritage list my property. So many glorious homes of this era are being knocked down for building town houses and macmansions, especially those on huge blocks, like mine. It is an easy house to live in and I am grateful for my separate kitchen, with easy access to the open plan dining room and lounge, as it keeps my dog out of food preparation areas. I love the cosiness of my kitchen in a home of otherwise vast spaces too! The separate living areas and kitchen have at times, made it easy for 3 generations of the family to happily coexist here, which in a totally open plan home would have been difficult!

Everything that is yellowy beige , I would do in monument or similar charcoal ( well , I'd leave the gutters in the short term , I'll explain in a sec ) . Yes , including the window frames . Maybe even especially the window frames . The render -- Vivid white , Natural white , even something a bit different like Handmade Linen . Nothing blue tinged , or yellowy creamy . Oh , not grey in any form -- look at how uninspiring the render looks now ! So 'almost' black and white , with an earthy reddy brown roof . A new letterbox ( or paint that one , but me I'd go a $100-150 one with style ) . And don't forget -- the gutters are still that yellowy cream . Now to me , you have 2 choices -- do them charcoal too -- the whole place is sharper and cleaner , the disadvantage may be the roof looking tired and aged ? Or go a really vibrant red and take the focus off the roof , but within that spectrum . That would be my thinking .
