Thanks LouieT I love it! You're so right, it's the first thing you see. I want it to be warm and welcoming. We are going with the floating shelves with heaps of plants and a few personal items. (We actually have a walk in wardrobe so the clothes hamper is hidden in there). Thanks for the beautiful items and ideas. We have small children who often like to explore our bedroom so we want to keep the floor as clear as possible at this stage. I might put a lambs wool on the floor with a nice looking box for toys or books. I'll post pics when it's done.

I love the colours you suggest and they would really make the corner pop. Make it personal. Be brave. Options; Wall mounted boxes or floating shelves to display some colourful treasures above toddler height. Pinterest search 'Wall display Boxes" The next 2 sound a bit hippie but you can do them with your toddler and if they get pulled down noone gets hurt. - Fabric collage on a sore bought canvas with pieces of velvet, satin, silk in your favourite colours. Finding some vintage fabrics or op shop clothes to cut up is a cheap activity and add you can even add some bling or go with a geometric art deco style.Again Pinterest has great images. - Patchwork quilt style wall hanging eg.https://www.instagram.com/jenkingwell/?hl=en

Hi Marie, The ‘cascade’ is beautiful also have a look at the ‘waterhousia’ it’s a weeping Lilly pilly also and the foliage is gorgeous, both would look great with the new dark colours of the ‘loropetulum Chinese fringe flower’ the leaves are a dark plum and the flower bright pink, mass planted in front of the Lilly pillies would look stunning , then with a pink weeping cherry it would be a showstopper, we are spoilt for choice these days, the range is fabulous

As you guessed , I just express my opinion . Some agree , some don't . Some houses which I have sold 20 years ago are still in the same decor , other people may not have purchased . I prefer a planned colour pallette and something that has a Wow , and I definitely won't have the same colour walls and ceilings all through a property . Some fast food restaurants do have the same colour all the way through , but even they tend to have white ceilings or similar . I do have a ( small ) stainless deep fryer that does great chips though ! As far as texture goes , I 100% guarantee I would have more texture than this house , to use the obvious comparison . That is why , if you go back up to my original post , I suggested a feature wall of wallpaper , and a painting -- texture and colour . I don't like grey or beige as primary colours , and in fact don't consider them pastels either , but thats pointless arguing semantics . I wouldn't have that combo , the OP would -- good on her . If houzz only had people that agree , it may be very boring .
