I'd probably echo a lot of the other comments. The bathroom seems quite large and could be smaller or even split into two smaller bathrooms (ensuite and main bathroom). I'd also consider just including the laundry in the main bathroom. I don't see the need for a separate laundry sink provided you have a decent sized bathroom sink (although your needs may vary) and it would potentially be a much more efficient use of the space. The kitchen seems particularly big to me. I don't really see in the value in having such a large return with bar stools, etc. Surely in such a space, it would be easy enough to move to the dining table to eat, socialise, etc. I think it would be better to place the kitchen along the length of the wall (scrapping the "corner" bifolds, but maybe utilising a window splashback to retain natural light) to really open up the living area. I don't think a bench is necessary. If you position the dining table appropriately, it could double as workspace if necessary, but a long, linear kitchen should provide you with plenty of workspace (and, at one end, potentially room for a built-in study nook which would probably be valuable for a growing family). Ultimately, I'd do a lot of research. Houzz has a bunch of great examples about terraces, for example: [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/6-inner-city-terrace-renovations-that-conquer-common-problems-stsetivw-vs~52479198[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/6-inner-city-terrace-renovations-that-conquer-common-problems-stsetivw-vs~52479198) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-renovated-victorian-terrace-with-lofty-appeal-stsetivw-vs~69162741[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-renovated-victorian-terrace-with-lofty-appeal-stsetivw-vs~69162741) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-modest-terrace-impresses-with-a-bright-cheery-interior-stsetivw-vs~74631928[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-modest-terrace-impresses-with-a-bright-cheery-interior-stsetivw-vs~74631928) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/houzz-tour-bondi-terrace-reno-captures-light-stsetivw-vs~26541297[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/houzz-tour-bondi-terrace-reno-captures-light-stsetivw-vs~26541297) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/5-city-terrace-houses-that-surprise-inside-and-out-stsetivw-vs~27642618[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/5-city-terrace-houses-that-surprise-inside-and-out-stsetivw-vs~27642618)

Hi Jenny, I'd suggest popping into your local nursery (not big box store). Often they will offer a consultation service where they can come out and help suggest plants that suit your aspect, climate and situation. The other option is to have a consultation with a local landscape designer or horticulturalist who specialises in planting. Check your local landscape association or AILDM for listings in your area. An outlay now could save you $$$'s in the longer term, as well as making sure that what you do spend your money on is going to give you the most bang for your buck. They'll also have local knowledge as to what can potentially become weeds. Just remember you can't plant anything against the fence that can be considered climbable - this can include hedges. Have a look at the link I included above as to what the definition of climbable is. Look for lush and green to link in with the background. Some pops of colour; maybe foliage (eg alternanthera) or flower (bougainvillea or mandevilla) will also help to lift it and make the green more green. Small growing varieties of lomandra may be better than the large one you have there - this could easily be moved, divided and used elsewhere.

I would definitely remove the animal on the floor and cushions. And the Italian pedestal and floral display. Try the deer print on the black wall in the lounge area. Try it on the right hand side of wall at eye level, after you take the pedestal away. Put your tall table decoration onto the white buffet, where the deer was. Can you remove the shiny light fittings that are in the dining room space. They seem not to work. Install led down lights. As the existing lights seem not to be where you have your table. This is my opinion. Everyone's tastes are different.
