When you render the bricks I would consider leaving some of them exposed here and there - that reminds me of old Tuscan buildings! I would include some large terracotta pots with olive trees or lemon trees, also as others have suggested some brightly coloured geraniums in hanging baskets against the wall or in terra cotta pots. Here are a couple of shots of my back deck (which isn't looking its absolute best) but to give you an idea of the large pots and colour. You have a beautiful spot to work with good luck! Sue

Hi all! Thanks so much for for the comments. Things look much clearer now :) The other walls will be plain white matt tiles 60x30 cm and the floor very pale matt gray , ceiling white, so very similar look like the photo. Bath tub white free standing, all fitings stainless steel and quite minimal. The vanity might be in light timber but I might keep it white. The mirror will be large (not massive) and will reflect the wall nicely, at the same time will make the room look bigger . I don't renovate the unit for sale, but even if we do down the track the colors/pattenrs are not too striking so I'm sure they will be appealing. The builder had said the same thing about the new types of grouting , so I won't worry too much about it anymore. I've decided to go with the wall behind the tub/shower. With some plants on the window as I have now, I can see it looking qute nice and warm. I personally dislike bathrooms in cream or gray tones that look like hotel bathrooms without character that are there only to serve a purpose. Cheers!

Do this yourself it will save money. Figure out how much of the wall you are wanting to cover, figure out how wide u want the slats and then the gap. Then make sure you have the tools and order the materials from a hardware store or bunnings. Tools youll need are nails, hammer or brad nailer, level, pencil a set square. Thats all i can think of right now.

Looks beautiful. The pendant lights provide some balance for the open shelving, which being open with no upright against window add to spaciousness of window. By contrast your design is boxing in the window
