We have custom made blinds from Spotlight in our bedrooms. On the tall narrow Windows I put dual roller ( that is privacy & blockout) on the large windows we put roller privacy then Roman block out over the top. While they all look lovely & I am more than happy with the quality they do restrict the breeze. It is difficult to have privacy and a fresh breeze. Which I never considered at the time of purchase.

Both colours would look good with the flooring you plan Is the brick wall staying? The darker shade would balance the strength of the brick colour The white kitchen will make the whole room blend together as it will 'clean' the colours consider how you intend to decorate the area - is the green going to feature heavily elsewhere? (like living spaces?)

hi there A custom designed kitchen can come in many shapes and sizes. Throughout the years the fashion and trends have changed. Different styles of kitchens are popular in modern homes. The four most popular types of kitchen finishing are a painted kitchen, a vinyl wrapped kitchen, a laminate or melamine kitchen and a timber kitchen. Each type of kitchen has its strengths and weakness. Budget, personal taste and the time which your kitchen was designed all play the biggest roles in impacting the type of kitchen your home might have. The durability or laminate makes it the perfect base to be turned into a painted kitchen. This way you give your kitchen a new life at a fraction of the cost of a complete kitchen renovation. You can easily remove laminate and melamine cupboard doors, draw faces and side panels. When you have removed them, bring them into the workshop to be prepped and painted. Once they are dry they are ready to be re-installed into your kitchen. It’s a simple process that typically only takes two weeks and will leave your outdated kitchen looking like new again.

You say this is a 1990's house . Its made to look like a 1930's house at present . To make it look 'modern' would take a lot of work , and IMO destroy the character of the house . Embrace what it is , tidy it and change the focus slightly , but personally I wouldn't take off the scrolls and those little posts , or even the walkway roof . Just my opinion , but if you want modern , you sell what you have and buy a modern place in grey on grey on grey , with charcoal -- there are more than enough unique points on this house that you either embrace it or you sell it .
