I would paint the roof charcoal grey, the exterior walls a lighter grey. Trimmings in black, same with the slats beneath the verandah. It would blend into the environment and bring attention to the view of the mountains in the background. To add a pop of colour and bring focus to the front door in an inviting way, I would paint it red.

I would choose a grey sofa, but really any colour would look great, tan leather, white , depends what style you are looking for, could be ultra glamorous or a casual boho luxe , love those colours throughout, could look gorgeous

You have a lovely sized room. As commented you could paint the walls white. Also consider a soft warm grey, Resene Quarter Truffle (NZ colour). The orange and textured rug and mirror warm the space. I would definitely look at a navy blue as an accent - throw, cushions. A massive artwork with lots of colour would look amazing on the large wall to the left of the fireplace. Curtains look more "beige" but I think they will look okay with the soft grey walls but will also make the floor blend better and become less noticeable. Good luck. An amazing space.

Ta heaps, Jodes. 2 years post reno and we’re still lovin‘ it - it’s so practical and easy to clean. I’d have yours any day too btw. You’re lucky to have a sparkie on tap. We don’t. Our cabinet maker threw in the strip lighting. I thought it was a nice but unnecessary extra; something I wouldn’t have asked for. But like you, I’m so glad it’s there - no working in your shadow. It’s brilliant. An absolute must in any future kitchen reno now. The MW is good but a bit impatient - it beeps too much! We had a 20yr old Sharp carousel, so the new one was a bit of a tech leap. It‘s pretty easy to get used to. We use the combo function a lot, and the rice program does a great job. Wish it cleaned itself tho! Since seeing your fridge, I’ve been on alert every time ours makes a weird noise, hoping this is it - bang - ceased motor. New fridge! Keep us updated about your window coverings. It’s a lovely looking home. You and your hubby have done really well. :-)
