I need advice on how to disguise the huge unit outside this room
Comments (8)Step one set a budget as that will dictate what can be achieved Step two decide on whether its greenery, opaque or arty. Step three match budget to style and mix in time and you will know what you are going to achieve. Let's start with opaque. The quickest solution. Get your windows tinted with opaque film. Stops the view but let's in the light. If it's greenery then think huge pots full of creepers like jasmine or ivy or clumping bamboo. Screen off the air con unit, attach screen to the fence, place pots strategically and wait a couple of years. If it's arty, paint the fence white, red or yellow, invest in some trompe Leol concepts or hang outdoor sculptures. Arty needs a lot of planning but is great to reflect your style...See MoreAdvice on “Twigs” - lounge room styling advice

Comments (10)Top down view Where your couch is currently just an updated leather look with a small table that slides under the couch, sure u can get them at TK Maxx or Kmart Above Fireplace build shelves for lil knick knacks, really easy and cheap diy until you reno and reconfigure your house Taller thinner table with a open shelf underneath, under the tv with shelf of plants above, also cheap and easy diy if you use pallet wood. Under the table is ottomans for extra seating if needed or use as a coffee table. Also a towel rack for a blanket underneathe. Besides the gallery wall behind couch, Suggest using floor to ceiling curtains to cover the two doors just to have a break and section the room so it doesnt look like a walk through, they are curtains too you can always pull them to the side if you need repeated access to the hallway. Bit of a more clear view of what you would see sitting down, the horse art is actually the samsung tv with preset art. Why I picked that wall colour? Because I like the colour and big or small, paint walls based on what you like, its just paint and it makes the wood and white pop and isnt as jarring on the eye if you had a full white wall with mixed colour art on the gallery wall.i.e if your eye sees colour everywhere Just my 2 cents of whats possible, before buying furniture, check your sizes, if that is your main lounging area having chairs instead of a couch sounds uncomfortable. Everything is cheap diy projects that can be temporary fixes until you renovate your home. Use artwork and paint to make it look more exciting than it is....See MoreHow do I lighten exterior brick work? Stain or Plasterboard?
Comments (8)If it’s an external wall, I would not be using plasterboard. If you wish to clad the wall, then use something like scyon cladding for exterior use. Otherwise the weather will just ruin the plasterboard. The holes in the brick wall are probably weeps holes, which let air into the brick cavity to stop condensation. They should not be covered. I would paint the wall with a good exterior paint. There are many colours and textured paints on the market for this purpose....See More2dogssashatess
