Typically, three panel doors were used throughout bungalows, Edwardian bungalows and Californian often had 3 panel doors, two long rectangular and one on the top, federation often used these or 4 panel doors, with three vertical rectangles, even the occasional 4 panel vid doors were found. the deco bungalows were often closer to the Edwardian bungalows in that the 3 panel or single panel doors were used. black Japan featured heavily,although using an mdf reproduction would work if you paint them. i successfully found my Edwardian doors on gumtree, driving two hours to get them, so it's worth a try. I have seen some as recent as yesterday with three panels and glass top inserts, which help if your interior is dark. can I ask what suburb your in?

Hi Sim that is very minimal looking, even a bit Japanese inspired. Whilst you can do that of course, it won't inject a lot of colour or pattern in. If you do go that way, I think the pelmet is a bit unnecessary. I was thinking you could use pattern or colour on the blinds, something beautiful like Ink and Spindle's fabrics (Abbotsford)and they have so many wonderful designs to choose from! Your light is nice, albeit a bit small. If you do swap it out, try and use it elsewhere in a smaller room like a bedroom or hallway, especially if it is in good condition. You've already got some blues and greys with the art, sofa, rug, so I'd build on those shades with more blues, linen/neutrals and warm them up with basket weave textures in your lighting or accessories... that will tie in your timber trims to the blue. http://inkandspindle.com/window-furnishings/ That's one approach, of course!

I'd echo most others views -- personally , I could live with the aircon and the lights , but the furniture and the mirrors would go ! Again , just personally , I don't have a problem with the mirrors sizes , it's the silver that doesn't suit . I'd go approx 20% smaller mirrors , BUT with really nice wide sculpted dark wooden frames , and lift them a bit -- they almost look like they are sitting on the mantlepieces at present -- lifting them would show more balance IMO . Lounge suite I'd go big , boxy , good quality bright red leather . A modern corner suite would probably suit , or one with a moden interpretation of a chaise , but in big boxy red leather . Or maybe a more classic looking buttoned leather suite , just not in brown -- that would be too much brown . Red or white would work well . The dining suite could be a large 8 seater wooden table in darker brown ( that mahogony one clashes to me ) , or glass top and stainless if you want to be more modern , and modern red chairs -- several styles would work , depending on what table you choose , and how modern you want to be . And for a more modern twist on the windows -- wooden slat blinds -- I have done very similar in my own 95 year old place , and it works well ! My place is similar , although it doesn't have those higher picture rails -- my place has carved rails approx 1.2mtr above the floor level , and Rimu panelling ( a NZ wood ) below that -- has that 'gentlemans club' feel . I did the walls above that in a mid steel blue in some rooms , a grape colour in others , english cream in a couple , and an earthy orangey-brown with white gloss tiles in the kitchen ! And in most rooms , I did a feature wall , wallpapered in complimentary colours to the other 3 walls in that room ! Strange sounding I know , but it works ! In the larger rooms and entrance foyer , I have large gold waterfall chandaliers , the other rooms I have gold curved light bars with 4 to 6 led spotlights -- all with crisp white ceilings similar to yours , and art deco inspired ceiling roses and architraves . I love the mix of classic and modern , with a twist of class

Your apartment looks like it may have some Art Deco cornices, and with your beautiful gold drinks trolley and coffee table, I would use those pieces as your starting point. One large print/painting above lounge, with some gold in it, may look nice. Take the picture off the entry half wall, and place it on the slim wall opposite. Maybe in a new gold frame. I would put the gold drinks trolley on other other side of door, so it is a feature when entering home. With that wonderful bright art work above it. Is that a printer on the floor. If it is, it's probably a wifi printer, which can be placed anywhere in the apartment. Purchase a small Solid bookcase, to put this printer on. You could put your books and mail in this bookcase as well. Remove or items from the entry wall. Find a gold vase or sculpture for that wall, nothing else. You have to be strict with yourself in a small apartment. Do not leave things on dining table, or on the floor, find a home for them. Clear surfaces = clear mind. (Well, that's how I work, anyway)
