Thanks for these great ideas. The quilting in the sofa would be a great reflection of the ceiling. I love the Japanese screen on the Living Room wall. Would something like that need a more opulent frame as suggested by AMN. The current curtains are quite a rich Thai silk fabric in a bronze colour. They seem a bit dark for the ceiling. I prefer carpet in the bedroom for warmth underfoot in winter. What colour would work with this scheme? Should we go lighter to brighten the room or darker?

Go with your gut Tracy..... it is a big investment but I have found that if it makes you smile every time you walk into your kitchen you'll never regret it!!!! I've recently moved into a smaller downsized home with my 3rd black kitchen, with drawers, no cupboards, except for the pantry which we use as the crockery and wine glasses stash. Mine is matt but no handles = no hip bangers! I chose to use snow white stone bench tops, the walls are painted natural white while the floors are pale oak hybrid vinyl.

Ok so after all the feedback I made some changes. After looking at it, I would like to make entry point from garage on the garage wall, so you still enter into pantry, but you dont have to walk through pantry to gain access to the house. I would also like to flip bathroom and bed 3 so bathroom is centred between rooms. Also not convinced I should have entry to lounge from kitchen, should I have kept it entering from the entry. My only issues now is, do you notice how the bathroom steps in? This is because the ensuite is a bit bigger. Will it look ok once built or do I take that 30cm from my ensuite/main room to level it up? If so do I take 15cm from ensuite and 15cm from main bedroom? Also I really wanted the compartment bathroom that oklouise suggested. But its not big enough. Any ideas? My current bathroom is 3100 x 2600.

Kate Recess cabinet, t 90mm frame +6.5 mm villaboard +10mm tile + 2mm adhesive =about 105 mm Leaving about 40mm over the vanity Against 130/140 mm over vanity, and over basin? around 1/4 of basin Centered basin Always work from your finished bathroom back to design implications. Basin dia about 400.?..Vanity 900 . leaving 250 mm clear either side + basin curve on either side and If you are still unsure, draw out a Full Size, mock-up on a piece of thin/scrap plywood or paper, Leave overnight/day or so, discuss Shelves/cabinets over Toilet I personal dislike shelves/cabinets over the toilet, under any circumstances, stuff will be bumped and fall Have you considered an inwall cistern?
