Opinion on exterior -australia
Comments (4)I quite like the concept of the garage timber thingy but the style you show is too 'colonial' for your house. You could have something more contemporary made to suit however. You could also put a modern pergola in front of the garage that joins onto the pillar outside the front door and grow something over that. The garage door looks lighter than the render which makes it pop more so I would paint the render the same colour as the door. I might even render the bricks which I'm not in love with but you only need do this at the front. Plant something low and bushy along the front where the gravel is. I planted lavender bushes to soften the front of my house and keep them well pruned. It made an amazing difference. Replacing the garage door with one with windows would cost about 4 grand and would make a little difference I guess but not substantial....See MoreTrying to find chrome traditional kitchen pulls and knobs in Australia
Comments (9)Yes- that is a very good question!!! I've been trawling Australian suppliers for months for something different. I also need Appliance Pulls (for integrated DW and Fridge), which there is very limited choice of here. Everything here is same-same China made mass imports. I literally ordered my hardware last night from: www.knobbrands.com They do ship to Australia. At least I hope so!! I've ordered them and paid! Without knowing your budget, you could check out www.englishtapware.com.au They stock some high-end UK brands. I did go and view them in store and they are beautiful handles/knobs and fabulous quality. I couldn't justify the $500/each for appliance pulls when I need 4!. It was a real dilemma, I hate it when I see something I love and absolutely can't have it!! I tried some on-line vendors in the UK, and had no luck with them either. I can update you when my handles arrive....See MoreWhat colour should I paint my walls? HELP!

Comments (4)One thing to remember about colours like this. That colour works so nicely there because of the 10ft plus ceilings and all the dark wood and low light in the room. Dark wood furniture and trims swallow colour, low lighting also makes it look warm rather than garish. Paint a similar tone in a well lit room of modern proportions and it's not going to have a similar effect. Rather than trying to match a colour made for a particular room, try and get a similar feel in the room you have. Traditional, high ceiling rooms can take a far more dramatic colour than a modern room can. The scale and detailing make strong colour work in that kind of space. The taubmans red which I think is closest is....Rum Punch. Both have very similar orange hue, similar depth of hue. In the oranges [taubmans] I would pick Cappricio or Orange Flash. In the browns I would pick Fragrant Cloves. The only problem with the colours you have tried is the hue isn't saturated enough. It's tempting to pick a lighter shade of the same tone thinking it will look darker on the wall but that isn't always true. I've painted what I thought were extremely saturated colours on furniture and walls only to discover it wasn't saturated enough. I've just used the paint visualiser with a traditional and dark room and Capriccio seems to come the closest the effect you want out of all those colours. It seems to have that orangey earthy hue with a warm glow you are looking for. For a slightly more vivid colour in near identical range you could also try Orange Vermillion but is just a tiny tweak more saturated....See Moreecl24
