Conservatory help...

Okay, this is our conservatory with horrid-coloured floating floor..we really don't like it and it is now right next to lovely hardwood blackbutt flooring (where the rug is) and a brand new kitchen and all the yellow/orange timber shelf in the middle has also gone (to be replaced with jarrah). The previous owners furniture is in this pic. I can't take a photo now because it is covered with dust and kitchen packaging and appliances...the structure is very creamy and those fabric 'sails' are also cream but can be changed.
We also really don't like the chandeliers. We have just purchased the light below (x2) because it is the only one we found that we both liked (and it was half price).

What would your dream home include (if money was no object)?
Comments (28)I don't want any of those options, I would like beautiful sitting room with plush furniture, classical French inspired (not baroque), I would like a climate controlled glass house to match with orchids and all other exotic plants. A beautiful garden with flowers and fruit trees and a cleaner and a handyman to help me with it....See MoreI need some help updating this room! Please!!
Comments (53)I have not read all of the above. It must be tempting to render and paint the fireplace but if it is decided to work with it then maybe you can find your colour palette in the bricks. The new grey carpet will give you a fresh neutral but grey can be very cold. you might need a bit of warmth in the others colors chosen for walls or soft furnishings. If you extend the tile base in front of the fireplace that will give another opportunity to introduce more impact with the tiles. There are always lots of gorgeous tile options. I am loving some of the Moroccan looking styles....See Morewanting to create new entry & deck
Comments (6)Like oklouise , I'm trying to work out what you are wanting to achieve ? Do you have a handicapped person living there -- its not clear to me . A ramp down the right side is going to look funny IMO -- the section slopes , but a flat ramp back to the driveway/garage would cover the bottom couple of inches of that picture window and the sill .A sloping ramp would just be wrong and weird , angles that would look wrong . It looks like the existing terrace is 2700 deep -- its hard to tell if 'behind' that is an entry foyer ? If the terrace isn't deep enough , I'd tend to try and go IN , not out . I hope you take this as constructive , but the existing doors look more like factory doors than house ones . So I'd go 'inwards' , and do an 'impress the neighbours' double solid full height timber doors , with stained timber picture windows either side . On that theme , I'd also change the 3 picture windows to stained timber frames too , and the greeny grey shiplap I'd try and strip and stain -- if not possible , paint in apricot or lemon or light red , THEN do the fascia boards in a really bright shade the same ( bright orange , sunshine yellow or fire engine red ) . The grey outdoor tiles I'd try and concrete stain ( I probably shouldn't admit this , but I once got a good charcoal oil-based outdoor paint , thinned it ( from a 20 litre thing of turps ) about 2 to 1 , and brushed the outdoor tiles twice over 2 days -- it soaked in well , wasn't slippery , and lasted well -- at least well enough to sell the property a couple of months later haha ) . So $20k instead of $100k , less matching to do , but there is still the problem of the ramp . . . . . ....See MoreFloorplan reno help please
Comments (47)Hi Sue, I thought I should toss some other options at you. Consider the Master in the old kitchen using this plumbing for the ensuite. This room opening up to both North and West views it would be best if the whole fireplace along with chimney is removed which would mean a vertical support beam would be needed to support the ceiling (engineers decision) The small extension for the shower room to have a glass slopping roof, you would also need to add a pergola on the western side of the Master (Vergola pergola) The new kitchen moved into the old office and ensuite once again using this plumbing for the kitchen, opening up walls between these rooms should be easier than others in the house. Large sliders off both the kitchen and "The Great Room" to take advantage of the western views out across the pool Depending on structural load bearing wall I would like to open up the wall between the kitchen and "The Great Room" for an amazing space with abundant light. I have shown that wall with 2 x 1m openings (there's already one doorway to make use of or open that wall to whatever the engineer approves. The Kitchen is now within easy access to the pool and BBQ, plus bathroom facilities. The room next to the new kitchen to become Mudroom/office/WIP. I notice that there's a driveway that ends up behind this room, is this where you mostly access the house from?...See MoreJen

8 years agoHello again! A colour that is used a great deal in these settings in England is Farrow and Ball French Gray. It certainly has a green undertone and would be perfect I think. You could then tone it down to quarter strength for instance in the connecting rooms?
Sorry - shown externally but at least you see the colour more clearly in daylight!
