Hi, your home looks pretty good, you have done a lot on the interiors. Coming back to the question, yes, you can add a wallpaper behind the television, go for a textured wallpaper as it will create a compliment to your television. As you have decorated with wooden elements, you can go with a bookshelf on the wall. And, there is one more thing which will be a simple addition but will look perfect and that is an antique wall clock. An antique wall clock will make your wall look great without any fuss.

There's a pre finished product called DecoWood, aluminium substrate with a wood look finish. This is from the web... The advantages of using DecoWood™ cladding instead of timber include: Easy installation: aluminium is lighter than timber and therefore easier to manoeuvre in the installation process Low Maintenance: aluminium never requires painting or staining like timber does, saving time and money Durability: DecoWood™ aluminium is more durable and dimensionally stable than timber meaning no warping, twisting, splitting or rotting like timber. Plus, it won’t need to be replaced as often. DecoWood™ is a powder coated wood grain finish based on photographic images of real timber. It has been tested for its durability in international extreme exposure locations where intense UV radiation, salt spray and industrial pollutants combine to create the worst possible conditions, and complies with all relevant Australian and international standards.

Not being involved in kitchens, apart from cooking dinner, I think a waterfall is lovely either side of an island. I don't see any benefit apart from aesthetics. Price may come into it. I think you'd have to be careful if it is a smaller kitchen, as depending on the size of benchtop, it could take up valuable space, but in a bigger area they look great.

You have a lovely traditional looking home, and repainting it in today's fashionable, contemporary colours may look a bit odd. In addition you have that large expanse of terracotta red brickwork to the side, which you haven't mentioned, but will still impact on the appearance of the house from an angle. I would be looking at colour schemes that work with colours that you are not going to change such as the stone and brickwork. The scheme that you currently have complements the existing architecture, and there are other traditional schemes that will work, that aren't green and cream. As always the only way to assess the suitability of a colour is with samples. A professional can source A4 sized samples which will help you assess the suitability.
