http://stratco.com.au/products/solar/types/solatop/solatop.asp How the panels look depend a lot on the orientation of the house, the type of roofing and the qulaity of the installation. Panels on the front of a house with terracotta tiles, not so great, but around the sie or back, with a neat and tidy installation, not so bad. I had solar panels on my previous house, a victorian terrace, thin film, flat on the scallion roof and unless they were pointed out no one knew they were there. My current house, Federation, has a red painted corrugated iron roof, the panel are at the back of the house, but don't look too obvious. The long term savings are worth it, so function wins over form for me in this case.

Sue, congratulations. You've not only identified a colour you feel happier about, you've actually created it. I suspect you'll now be able to create a pleasing mix of warm greys, plywood browns, stone tones, coppers or bronzes, warm whites, etc; maybe with a bit of yellow added come spring; and you'll be able to live with the brownish sofa until you're ready to update or reupholster. I have some KAS cushion covers from a couple of years ago which show how this kind of colour mix can be done. One has stylised flowers (a la Mexican) in grey, brown and caramel with a touch of burnt orange. (You mention liking ochre.). Another is lighter grey, brown, taupe and bone-white on a natural linen. A third (less subtle) is warm greens with brown, taupe, yellow, white and a little aqua. I'm not saying go for styles that are a few years out of fashion. But do be confident enough to resist a harsh, hard-edged option if a gentler one is right for your temperament and household and the room's aspect. Robyn

The other showers throughout we are just keeping the same tile with the niche so wanted to change this one up seeing as it's a big niche and make more of a feature of it. Am thinking a herringbone type tile or even small hexagons but it's more colour that I'm not sure about. A lot of those tiles are marble like colour The style of home is contemporary/Scandic if that's even a style ha ha!

Hi Ttella, I'm in Perth. I got them from. Myaree Ceramics. But I have googled and found this tile place that stocks them. Not sure where you are in Australia. https://www.marbleceramiccorp.com.au/subway-tiles/1610-spanish-handmade-super-white-gloss-subway-ceramic-150x75.html?gmc_currency=4&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI29OOvPPG3gIVwTUrCh2-twoLEAQYASABEgJmzvD_BwE
