And therein lies the perpetual issue chookchook2 ! Desktop, tablet and mobile screens all display colour slightly differently and different desktop printers produce different results. You'd think that with a name like 'Tardis Blue' your favourite colour might well sit within 'Infinite Worlds' but in fact a quick look at our Dulux Colour Atlas reveals the closest to it is 'Deep Sapphire' which is part of 'Retro Mix' palette. Until there's a digital fix, for accuracy, all critical colour communication needs to be based on actual paint chips, or those of colour authorities such as Pantone.

A mixture of bold vibrants colours are my forecast for 2016. Its all about contrast!

Lava stone bench is fantastic! You have great taste so I am sure you will make it all work. As with any room, maybe just consider which element you want to be the 'hero' ie. do you want people to notice the benchtop first, the rug? Then play up that feature and blend the rest into the background more. If you have too much going on colour or pattern-wise the different elements of the room will compete with each other and the room won't have it's focus. Love love your bar chairs as well!!! :-)

Oh most importantly I forgot to add, it’s a massive big sand hill I’m building on. 1500sqm lot, which I’m subdividing and selling one lot and developing the other. The back of the block which faces the ocean has a 6-7m steep drop, with an equally steep front access. I have been perusing all the architectural designs and reading lots of info on Houzz - which I absolutely love! I think I’ve even found my architect from your site too.
