May I suggest contacting the interior designer to request information on the tiles?

I've just been looking at your colours, I think the Dulux Dieskau would work the best with the other colours you have to work with, choosing colours is such a personal thing and I know it can be really hard to choose and hope you make the correct choice. Oskuee is right, a paint job can look terrible half way through so you need to make sure you finish to get the proper look of colour. But the biggest thing to remember is it's only paint and it's the cheapest thing to change so if your not happy with the colour you choose you can always try something else. Happy redecorating :)

Wow, that house is WAY to big. How on earth do you clean it? Why not have outdoor entertaining on the back deck? This would incorporate flying fox to a cubby and play equipment down the back yard. In the summer perhaps a collapsible awning for during the day but at night just candles and the stars to keep you company. If the weather is too cold you could provide a pile of crocheted lap rugs or fur or old blankets to get the cottage or french look. I suppose then your dining furniture would need to be a style to suit - maybe more relaxed or boho. Anyway sounds good fun - oo I forgot to allow for the outdoor fireplace (stone or brick) preferably. I notice you said any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I will press on regardless another day.

Hi Natasha, I think you are heading in the right direction with your arrangement of spaces. I think bedroom 3 where the laundry is makes better use of the outside window wall and just down the hallway from the bathroom. Also as you suggest, having bedroom 4 on the other side of the house is good for shift work sleep arrangements even if there is no extra powder room. Have you thought about making a small entry lobby from the courtyard where the master bedroom door is and moving the master bedroom door nearer to the ensuite, similar to Oklouise's plan. You could put a good coat cupboard from the entry backing onto the master bedroom wall. Open up the wall from the new entry to the kitchen/living space, where you have shown a cupboard. I also think having the TV area, dining and a small study room in that one area will make it feel too small. I'd make an office/study a deep cupboard that can be shut off when not in use. Perhaps create a full joinery wall between the living area and the media and bedroom 4 that works both ways and includes the study, B4 robe, TV units and entry to the media room and B4. In terms of the kitchen and laundry, I would make a nice deep laundry cupbd facing bedroom 2 in the hallway. Make sure it is big enough for all the stuff you need - ironing bd storage etc. The kitchen would be similar to what you have shown but move the island down to the outside wall to make it a peninsular. This would stop the kitchen being a walkthrough and as the laundry would ocupy the wall end near the entry, it would make the kitchen focus down the other end of the space. You can use the corner cupboard at the outer wall where the peninsular joins the bench for dining stuff storage facing the dining side, not the kitchen. Dining and living could be interchangeable and it depends on the relationship you want for both with the kitchen, back yard, front entry and media room. Cheers, Christine.
