What do other Houzzers think of my lounge room colour scheme?
Comments (82)Ok, don't like the dark cushion, don't like the TV in the bedroom. You could go for pendant lighting using the same 'material' as the mirror? If you went for larger beside lamps while you have that mirror there, they would be fighting each other. In the programs I watch, they say to have 'a hero in the room'. In this case the mirror is the hero I think. Also the extra throw cushion for the bed could match one on the chair, so it ties in (or don't have one at all on the bed). If you did need a TV what about having one installed on the wall to the right of the chair,(looking at the photo) and make sure it can swivel out, so when you aren't watching TV in bed it can be against the wall, out of the way. Then you can have a lovely (glass) ornament or two, or a bunch of flowers sitting on it along with your photos. I love how you have your bed dressed, spot on! (without the dark cushion) I absolutely adore the blue shades in the duvet cover and I would draw those out into the room. Love that you have opened up your windows in the lounge. Maybe a throw rug and some colourful (same colours as in the duvet cover on your bed) cushions on the lounge suite as nothing is really popping! There doesn't seem to be any colour except for the flowers and the photos. Colourful paintings on the wall would be lovely too. Maybe the potted plants could be in coloured (as in your duvet cover) pots instead of white. I know you weren't asking about the lounge and if you are happy with it, then that is all that matters. Well done....See Morewhat to do with brick wall
Comments (17)I realized i forgot to update what i did with the wall.. Now I know so many people said not to go ahead with it, but i am pig headed and did it anyway. It took me 5 days (about 15 hours to fill in the mortar and then 2 hours to put on 2 coats of paint. I am really happy with how it turned out. I understand it is not quite 'industrial' but i was probably lacking the correct terminology for what i was after (in truth i wasn't sure what i was after, it was more about not wanting the wall to stay in it's current state!)...See MoreWhat to do with this 1970s face brick wall with arches
Comments (3)agree with Melinda C to knock out the central arch (check with carpenter/builder for correct structural support) and i'd like the wall plastered and new square opening finished with painted architraves all around both sides as well as the arch into the other room OR what about open and closed options by replacing the brick wall with a new plastered stud wall with double internal sliding glass doors and a squared off door to the other room....See MoreWhat colour would you paint this fireplace wall
Comments (17)Hey Dounia The colour and the way it has been painted is very much what we saw in the late 90's and early 2000's when we all went through the textured paint feature wall craze. But, saying that Paint and design technology have come a long way since then and I would encourage you not to give up on the copper idea and use a modern approach and product. Dulux have recently added their new range of Design Effects, Here's the copper and concrete look. There's also other options available at www.dulux.com.au. You can email them for a copy of their brochure or they are readily available at Bunnings in the paint section. Thanks Paul...See MoreShelley
