I've always wondered what is the correct way -- I have ( 2 or 3 times ) cut 'slats' out of the plasterboard ( say the holes are 150 x 200 , I cut 2 slats about 40-50mm wide , 250 long ) poke through the hole and use really good adhesive bond ( the stuff that comes in a tube that you load into a 'gun' ) to stick inside the hole , using C clamps and leave for a day . Then the next day , cut a piece of plasterboard as close to size as you can , stick the 'monkey muck' ( adhesive bond ) on the back and stick to the slats you've stuck there at least a day ago . Leave another day to dry , then get that brown plaster tape , do all 4 sides of the insert , then plaster over , adding a bit of height . A couple of days later , get the palm sander and smooth and level it . I wonder if thats anywhere near what the experts suggest haha ?

I like Sue’s wallpaper idea, or you could try something structural. The metal ring screenshot doesn’t do it justice, I’m sorry, but I’ve seen something like it irl, and it looked great. You could do something similar with plates/hats/your collectibles… Google search the wavy wall, if that interests you, as there are companies that create the material they’re made from. The timber wall could be as fancy as this one, or even a diy with battens, planking or even timber trim. You could use finely sliced stone, too. And depending on space, narrow floating shelves would also look great. Good luck

However, the rubber square stoppers..... they can look like a wart on a wall. When the door covers them great, but for instance, I have one at my front door, when the door is closed, it is very noticeable. A floor mounted stopper for a door that is mostly closed, in my opinion would be better. And the floor mounted stopper would not be a tripping hazard, unless someone is walking along the wall. Use the square rubber wall stoppers for private rooms.

It's a lovely small new kitchen which doesn't have much available space to add accents like julies beautiful examples, Is it an eat in kitchen, ie: with table and chairs which will add to the space, or as dreamer mentioned adding a moveable timber Island/trolley. I would consider changing the Blind to a different colour, or timber/white venetian etc. Spotlight has a great selection. This is a temporary fix for your rental period so any change of blind would need to be installed as per the original as it would need to be returned when you leave. It's a blank canvas waiting for you to add your personality.
