After seeing the front of your lovely house I can see why it’s not centred. I do love things to be symmetrical but I don’t think it’s as bad as you think. I have just finished building and had these problems that seemed big but Once a house is painted and furnished you forget about them. If it’s something you don’t want to make a feature of, then just paint the whole area in the same colour palette as the window frame. Then once your all settled you probably won’t even think about it.

This renovation involves a old 1970s brick house being transformed into a contemporary Australian home. The living and dining areas to the rear of the home will be opened up dramatically through use of a double height ceiling with floor to ceiling windows. A tiered outdoor entertainment area will be introduced, with decking and a series of steps leading to a pool area. More Info Before After Before After

I have heard some bad reports about exhaust fans being installed directly over showers, too much moisture can sometimes harm the bearings in the fan. If it is becoming a major problem I would look at putting a wall mounted exhaust system to pull the air out of the shower to an external wall???

We have a small two bedroom double brick house in Preston, VIC and we have a major humidity issue especially in two built-in wardrobes. Now I must point out that this house was built around 1925 and where the wardrobes are located use to be a veranda that fronted the master bedroom. This was built in before we purchased the house and we replaced the old wardrobes with the builtins in 2008. There is no obvious sign of mould, however we are having to empty out two tubs of damp rid a month of extracted humidity. We have central heating through the rood space and vents, and feel that the combination of humidity created by the heating and the rapid cooling due to the location of the builtin wardrobes (front of house) near the external walls maybe the culprit; but we have also noticed that there doesn't seem to be any subfloor vent grill where it was bricked in. As you can see from the images, the window on the left side behind the tree, is the room in question, and I recently removed a whole bunch of plants in the hope that it would provide a dryer and well ventilated area around the window. Not yet sure if this will make any difference. I am in between employment and my wife works in retail, so money is tight and that's why we are reaching out to the Houzz community in the hopes that you can assist us in addressing this humidity issue with an affordable resolution.
