This is the top level of a house that does not exist yet. While looking at the floor plan, we are assuming up is north and down is south, then the sunrises at south-east and sets at north-west. But my views are to the south, which is why I prefer a balcony to the south. Note: the balcony must be inside the footprint of this floor plan not outside of it. Thanks guys

The furniture will not make any difference to a real estate appraisal. They will be looking at market suburb history. The size of the rooms, the kitchen and available bathrooms and their condition. A real estate person can look at an unfurnished home and evaluate correctly. If you are going to sell, then neutral colours are best when you have home opens.

View from powder room with door open is looking through the hallway section into an office / spare bedroom built in wardrobe (if the door is open). Not too concerned with that as door to room is usually closed. I definitely think I'd prefer to save that money and use it on something else, like maybe popping in a little basin over the top of the toilet.... I think it also creates easier access to the toilet when in the main part of the house instead of so another turn... Re the measurements: 930 x 2130 for laundry external door including trim. Also, I am currently just having a look at revamping the toilet room and am in process of painting the walls antique white from a very dark purple (don't worry, going to add interest in there somewhere won't be all white haha) and now figuring out how to embrace the tiles I have with some design and colour choices with walls and window trim or resurface them.. I have a photo below if anyone has ideas but maybe this warrants another post in a different section.. (also note i had to paint on the top of the wall tiles in a line as previous painter had done a shocker of a job...) I am contemplating a toilet/basin unit to save space and putting a kind of inserted custom shelf and frame option in the window to hide it (ugly old window with old paint marks all around the outside) to put plants and some small glass vases on but still have some light coming through. (Also, can't remove the window as I can't match the bricks outside (80's mottled brick) as directly in front of entertaining area. I also can't afford to replace at this stage).

Definitely enclosed shower. Sometimes I like the idea of a giant shower and other times I think it is ridiculously excessive. There is a linen cupboard, 2m wide and 600mm deep on the other side of that wall. I have toyed with the idea of increasing the depth of the linen and reducing the shower but not sure how deep I would have to make the linen to allow for shelves to be installed along the side walls. Would 1m be enough or would that be pointless?
