Help to furnish a small unit
Comments (9)I would do a few things. Firstly, the kitchen area is nicely enclosed but lacks overheads, and this back wall has the potential to really impact the kitchen, so I would consider overhead cabinets across this wall, or at the least, floating shelving..which Fiona_ab has some great tips on I've read! I would address the tiles beneath, by installing simple overheads not to the ceiling, and a new splash back, you not only will improve storage, but also lighting and meet the regulations on having a proper range hood. The cabinets would be inexpensive, shelves even more so, and splash back choices can be also. I suggest looking into a product called metaline by laminex, an acrylic, fire rated product that appears as a glass splash back, but which can be cut onsite. S easy for DIY ers. Secondly, paint it out in a light neutral with a pink base, as your kitchen cabinetry look like mushroom and oyster linea laminex, with the standard flecked top, which has a grey tone to it. I'm suggesting going with this, as the kitchen is the single most permanent installation in your space, so work with it, and it will feel unified and cohesive. Directly behind your island back, this naturally would fit a dining or small meals space, position your table lenghtways to extend your room, and help allow it to be divided down the middle, so a sofa can be placed back to it facing toward the internal tv corner?.. The two windows would become a focus in your new meals space, so consider pai ting this wall, which sticks out thanks to the kitchen recess, in a slighted darker shade of your wall colour. And in-between your two windows, either a large mirror with a dresser or console below, or a gorgeous abstract artwork, that fills the wall with exaggerated scale, and introduces a colour palette for soft furnishing for you. And zone your space. Build layers in each spot, a rug just placed under your sofa, ambient lighting in each zone, and perhaps a statement pendant above your dining table, address window dressings, as it's an open shared space, I think keeping them the same will be best, so I'd go a shutter so light is maximized but privacy and function can still be sectioned off....See MoreYay or Nay?

Comments (5)@karenleonn...it is cosy! When I bought it... it was an abandoned wreck with good bones on 1600m2 with a creek boundary. Could not believe it had been sitting there neglected fir 5 years and that nobody had had a brain explosion as to what it could be. My furnishings are not so traditional and lovely....(and Oh, aren;t those "William Morris" (?) upholstered chairs and matching cushions lovely !!!? Mine are just "friendly", cosy and...cat and dog friendly...and of course people are welcome too, if they don't mind my domestic buddies. The best part of a house like this is that everyrhing looks good in it, there's no particular style, does not have to be trendy to be acceptable to the critical eye and if the old retro appliances work that's all one needs. Add a couple of log combustion fires and a bushy garden around it and...YAY..Home Sweet Home full of curiosities and no worries about...."dropping paint on this" or...leaving a bit of disarray, as long as its clean and safe its heaven....See MoreNeed help with lounge room decor
Comments (27)Make the rug the statement piece! We recently styled this property and have been bombarded with questions where its from. Check out Bayliss Rugs or order through us and we can help determine the perfect size for the space too. For the coffee table- stay away from the white "cold theme". The coffee table pictured is from La Maison (also can be purchased from us).To get in contact: 1300 669 590 or kahlia@cordonydesigns.com.au...See Moreneed help with decor
Comments (4)A couple of large natural baskets to collect all bubs toys...Perhaps one smaller one that she can reach into and a taller one for storing. My kids liked to have toys rotated so they seem new again. https://www.houzz.com.au/products/natural-belly-basket-prvw-vr~28007387...See MoreLK Homes
