Love your black and white artwork and your line art, have you thought of using your white framed photos on the other wall (will pick up colours from your large artwork) and using your line art on that wall, then a similar one near door, could you fabulous

There's a lot of timber going on here with the floors and the door, I would avoid any more features in this room and add a narrow console as the previous owner did. Just think, you didn't notice the crevice when you viewed the property. A console is easy and inexpensive, it's also functional if you use it for keys etc. Sitting a large plant (or cut flowers if you can manage the upkeep) on the console will add some vibrant colour and the mirror will reflect it adding depth. A few other accessories will help to dress it up. Consider baskets under the console or something similar to hide the crevice and cover the vast mirror. Whatever you decide to do, I'd love to see an after photo!

Your hallway is looking great already Ryan, but we'd of course suggest that a statement artwork would further elevate the 'wow' factor! Here's an example of an artwork that we produced for a client's entrance hall together with their review. A version of this could work very well with your scheme, but art is a very personal choice. If there's something within our collections that resonates with you, just reach out and we can create a piece bespoke to suit. https://www.houzz.com.au/viewReview/216958/signarture-review

Entrance - advice on pots, plants and doormat please!

Thank you so much for your advice, in particular to bigreader and Julie Herbert. Here's a photo but note Im awaiting all that timber to be removed and daughter yet to sweep up the potting mix. I tried a blue one on each side as well but it didn't look quite right. I actually think 2 on each side might be enough. Note, in the big pot on left is a ground cover that will sprawl and out and done pot all going well. Do you think/Any suggestions for anything else I could do in this area? I'm still getting used to colour of mat. Now for the back door. Ive put some pots there that I had painted a light grey. Im wondering if they dont provide enough contrast with deck. Your thoughts? I was going to put a buxus in the one on the right (purely because they're are numerous in garden I can poach).

I might be a bit late to the party, but have you thought about putting the TV on the long wall and the lounge facing the tv, creating a bit more of an entrance way? You could still have the sofa table behind the lounge to put keys etc. Space permitting, that could also allow for a separate zone for reading, perhaps putting books along the wall where the tv is now, with a comfortable chair and a lamp etc. There are a few ideas here: https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/no-entryway-create-the-illusion-of-one-stsetivw-vs~26568992

Can you move the table to the wall where the black and white artwork is? To me it has no impact with the door opening onto it and is wasted. You could still hang the art above it. Definitely swap the large and 6 small photos. The door wall could be painted a bolder colour too, A deeper shade of the blue from the painting could actually make that painting stand out even more, and reduce the need for any other decoration.

The console table needs to be much wider, maybe another the same would be good. If you could remove the doors from the cupboard near the front door and put interesting items in there, it would add to the ambience (but maybe it is more important for storage). If this is the case, a lower double door and open upper shelves, even with a mirror behind to check appearance before leaving!. The front door is pretty plain, so maybe placing a mitred border would add to the look and I would love to remove the scary locking system. If you had a lever with a long backing plate and 'snib' inside with lock outside, this would add so much.

We can custom design and create a console table to fit in this space using marble or caesarstone on the surface. Another suggestion is these Leaning Book shelves that would add some interest to the walls ...
