i love bamboo, giant bird of paradise etc but do NOT put next to your pool. In our last build we used Zanadu. Big leaves that do not drop and bullet proof. Perhaps find another way to cover the fence other than plants that almost always drop their leave and have invasive roots.

Absolutely agree with blueskies60 ! Remove the artwork/bench/plant that's on the left and replace then with either a bookshelf or a tall chest of drawers. Perhaps the plant can be repositioned into the corner on the floor where this troublesome niche is (there seems to be more than enough light there for a plant) and just place something calm and simple in the niche itself - perhaps a Japanese style scroll or pen and ink art work set off with a more rounded object sitting in the left corner of the niche; a gorgeous rock, a lovely candle, a calming statue... If you have (my preference) a chest of timber drawers on the left where the current art work is, you'll break up the symmetry, have more storage and have another surface upon which you can place a changing display of objects. This is the area that I would utilise for a mirror.

Hi Alyaa just confirming a few things for you. Definitely pull the sofa and pair of chairs away from the walls approx. 20 cm. The current trend with rugs is to run them 20 to 30 cm under the front legs of the main seating so any rug needs to be much bigger. I like your use of texture and self pattern in the current one so a new one that's similar just larger would be good. Your colourful, patterned scatter cushions are fine for adding some pattern as well as colour but I think you need a block coloured one in your green tone to sit in between each pair. See Oskuee's scatter suggestions above. I like the block coloured green one, second from the top. A large piece of art as suggested by Gallery 360, positioned to the left of the sofa that is against the 3 tall narrow windows will add more personality. On the side table, a table lamp would add ambience. Either of Oskuee's drum pendant light fittings would be perfect. Avoid any light fitting that is mid-century modern in style as this does not suit your design style. On the coffee table, create a single grouping (vignette) of three pieces of varying heights rather than four separate pieces that crowd the top. Lastly if you were able to get a second matching side table for the opposite corner between the two sofas that would be great, as I would describe your style as modern classic and pairs work well.

Hi Rellish, The ‘emerald lustre’ doesn’t have a flower but the new growth is a pinky colour, gorgeous, the one planted around the fountain has large whitish pink flowers and the long hedge in front of windows is similar to yours, they are all viburnums, if you google them and go to images you will see the full range, they are a fabulous plant.
