Bland and monochromatic - landscape ideas needed
Comments (13)You have a great home. Don't paint the fence - natural is always best with this style of home. And once you paint, you have ongoing maintenance. Look at the big trees on the LHS of the photo. These trees are above the height of your home and are helping to frame your home. I would suggest using a tall tree on the RHS behind the fence and if you have room in your rear yard, tall trees here. Then your home will be fully 'framed' from the road. Many will cringe at the suggestion of tall trees. People need to get over this attitude - we need more trees in our gardens and tall trees help with creating microclimates and assisting the hydrological cycle. People also whinge about leaves in the gutters. You will get these from the neighboring trees anyway. Cleaning gutters is part of home maintenance and shouldn't discourage people from growing trees.And there are now numerous gutter protectors that modern homes now have in place. Annuals in pots wont work if its too shady. You could use big pots - and they need to be big due to the scale of your home, and plant strappy plants like Liriope in them. There is a great variety called Emerald Cascade that you could consider. I would use dark grey pots as they are untrendy and will last indefinitely. Another great pot plant is Pittosporum tobira 'Miss Muffet'. Both would look excellent in the big grey pots....See Morebland colour palet
Comments (13)These are just a few rug ideas with blues and black. If your current rug is in good nick, it might be worthwhile looking around for some artwork to tie the neutrals together, and inject either navy or other colours into the room. There are some beautiful walls hangings which would add some texture and interest. A potted plant or two perhaps? i would not go to the expense of having the pool table re-felted unless you feel it really needs it....See MoreAdvice on a rug for our living room
Comments (23)WE got rid of our curtains when we repainted, BEST decision ever and now have plantation shutters, they are awesome, look clean, modern yet as we have a Bluestone villa it so doesn't have to be just modern homes, still looks great with the cornices etc will go any where and look great, I liked the Temple and Karari rugs as they won't date then you can add pops of colour such as teal and navy or yellow and navy or really most colours go with the soft blue/navy it would be whatever your taste is in the pop of colour, red or burgundy....choice is endless really, We did have full window shutters....See MoreHow to overcome blandness
Comments (9)We agree with the commenters above - that wall is perfect for some amazing art! The little hints of mustard and mid century details that you've already incorporated would pair great with a graphic rug - a few suggestions: https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/bleux-neighbourhood/berlin/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/id-collection/emergence-by-louise-mcgregor/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/bernabeifreeman/folk/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/greg-natale-carpet/milano/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/dinosaur-designs-series-1/the-kiss/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/designer-collaborations/dinosaur-designs-series-1/sticks/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/in-house-collections/saffron/aztec-summer-azure/ https://www.designerrugs.com.au/rug-collections/in-house-collections/browse-all-in-house/eden/...See More94236633
