Beautiful image. As it's so large, I'd place a timber hall stand underneath it, and lean it against the wall rather than hang it, then I'd place a collection of relevant objects on the table. 1. A lamp, perhaps a ceramic base with native American colour and shape, or simple pottery base. With a simple calico shade. A pottery or timber low tray with some tactile collectibles, like some river pebbles, different rock, a piece of and old timber branch, thats been smooth by touch, or timber carved balls. ( I know you're probably thinking what?) And lastly, I'd hang it above the picture, or rest on a table a feather headpiece. You can get these online, even I've seen them around Melbourne in odds and ends stores. Maybe if it's on your table, a timber head that milliners use for a display. You could continue this look with an Aztec looking rug or cushions to break up your leather couch. Mohair throw might look good too.

Hi Rob , You are entering an exciting time with a new home, good luck with it all . Just a couple of suggestions : (1) Any reason you are note considering an architect to be involved ? When chosen carefully they can be very cost effective , plus they will create the unique custom one off that you are after. Their design concepts will go far beyond just what the exterior looks like Rob, they will also consider ( for example) how a skillion roofline has other functional benefits like incorporating high line ( clerestory) windows that will bring fabulous light into the centre of your new home etc. They will also advise on orientation and wind etc etc and lots more . (2) Regardless of whether an architect is involved, I would suggest that you seriously consider getting someone to create a 3D walkthrough of your new home so that you can walk through and around it before you spend your money on construction. It really does let you see the visual effects, plus because the 3D is to scale , it will help you sort out any potential issues with design and /or construction in advance( i.e. saves you time and money during construction ) . The 3D's can be created once you have your plans and elevations completed. You can get the 3D's created fairly cheaply ( a few hundred $'s ) on www.freelancer.com where professionals from around the globe compete for your project . It is money well spent , and you can see the colours and textures in lifelike scenarios , so it takes away the mystery and what if's . Good luck with your project , and sorry, I don't like the dark blue at all :-) . Cheers Glenn

Thanks Jen Osborne!! Will have to check out this photo shop thing!! Many thanks for everyones input!! My main dilemma, which I should have explained before, is that this area of the house was actually added on im guessing about 20 years after the main home. So the main home is about 50's style architecture and this bit is retro 70's . The old part of the house has alot of beautiful ceiling roses, cornice, and chandeliers. I want to try and blend the two a little. I am thinking I might change the walls back to white and do the french door black. I am hoping to decorate around the mustard yellow window, by bringing that colour into the room via a rug etc. Please see photos added of other parts of the house to show the style. Im also thinking I will remove the cowhide cushions and see what it looks like.

I think a small round table is a good use of the space. I have a feeling the kitchen/meals could start to feel cramped very quickly. A table with 120cm diameter will seat 4 and 5 at a squeeze. Example table Regarding bar stools, I think you need to find something that slides under the bench to keep the space as open as possible. Finding a seat at 70cm might be a tough thing. Good luck
