Does anyone have suggestions on landscaping my front yard/home entry?
Comments (10)What a great space and big opportunity. Firstly, it looks as though your soil is fairly sandy and possibly hydrophobic soil - before you decide on actual plans start working at improving your soil so that you're setting yourself up for success (think about a good dose of organic matter, worm compost tea, organic aids like Natramin (a personal favourite of mine) that will help get your soil working with biodiversity, structure and creating a nutritional environment for plans and micro-organisms) and then think about going with natives as they're a bit hardier than cottage/tropical garden plants. Depending on your budget, you could pull out the fence all together or paint it a lighter colour. You could add a fence opening for pedestrian access further towards the middle and wind your path with steppers and gain a bit of privacy with arbours covered in climbing vines,. Don't hold back in putting in low growing plants in front of your fence either if you like (afterall your council ensure that you're responsible for it's maintenance). You could also soften the edge of the driveway using curving edging - taking away the harshness of the straight lines. I'd also look at doing something tall along the fence to balance the pencil pines on the driveway edge. Good luck!...See MoreBlank wall inspiration
Comments (3)Your long wall room. Scandi look is lighter timber .. If you can swap your dark furnitures to lighter pieces . The room is already dark. For your dark floor boards may be get in a light rug? It will zone it a bit? As for the wall what about wall paper panels? ie not the whole wall ..that way you can take them off when you're sick of the design? something fun similar to this? still Scandi and will brighten up your room? bottom photo is an example of what panels look like . It will help define the areas . The different floor covering would help with defining kids' area from adult area too....See MoreHelp! What to do with my blank walls?
Comments (27)Love your house! How quirky are you? I love houses that reflect people's personality and souls and don't just look like pretty pictures from a magazine. I also think it is cool when people use 'found objects' to create a look. Wallpaper? Can be expensive and in your face. Vertical gardens? Require maintenance, water and light. Can get messy. Purchased art work? Can be pricey. Do you know anyone who works in a cinema or are you good at chatting people up? Ask if you can have one of their life-sized cardboard standup adverts for a movie (one you like, of course) and put it on the narrow wall in the kitchen! For example. Easily changed when you get tired of it....See MoreFilling large blank wall
