Bedroom blind selection - please help :(
Comments (14)A couple of things from me. Firstly, the cornice painted a yellow makes the ceilings feel lower than necessary, paint them out white or as per tour ceiling rather than accentuate the highest perimeter moulding, you don't want yo draw attention to the highest detail not being high! Secondly, to make the room feel fully addressed the window has to be looked at in context of your room. The house style is important, but more so the room space and light. As you have a verandah you probably have in direct sunlight, but the room is not large, so i would try to make the window feel part of the bigger picture rather than contrast with it. Which is what the red does, effectively looks like a red rectangle dominating a small wall. Do the opposite, taking colour cues from the room will make it feel unified, therefore bigger. The caramel carpet, for me is where I would draw upwards from. I suggest a rattan roman blind, the texture and stiffness will resolve that terrible sag, let in diffused light and provide a natural element needed in country style schemes. It allows the scenery to stand out, and colour is easily built upon it. If you need further blackout, you can install a uv cheap roller blind within the window frame, which would be hidden from view by the roman blind, so it can remain up most times and the roman can frame the beautiful view, allow light and then use the roller as your night privacy blackout blind. Most Romans look best as a frame treatment, they dress the window better than they function on them. Shutters would also be stunning with their play and filtering of light, but costly. And just a tip, your bed would feel far more luxurious in that space if it were not heavy in colour, the metal and timber, both which are not genuine as in fake cast iron and artificially stained orange pine date your space, that is not a dig, just an observation. You could do an upholstered bedhead for a luxurious look that a linen would tie in with the soft furnishings, you can address colour in many ways, but the blinds, carpet and bedhead should be neutral unless you can afford to upgrade often?.. A layering of texture and tones rather than colour is far softer in a country space, that's why it's done often, creamy whites on a caramel carpet will really brighten and freshen that space, , timber lamp bases, fabric shades, plush pillows and personality pieces, you'll have a space you can't wait to get to.

Comments (4)I found a website that might be quite helpful for you http://www.colourtouch.com.au/ to visualise what colours and finishes could look like on your house. You can choose a style of house that closely matches yours then choose a number of set schemes, or start with a blank canvas and play around with any colour / finish you like....See MorePLEASE HELP ME OUT - Above sink OR undermount sink??
Comments (68)I put a lot of thought into what kind of sink to install ino my new kitchen: single vs double, stainless steel vs other materials, dish drainer or not, and finally undermount vs top mount. I went safe and chose industrial grade steinless steel, double sink without a drainer but with aditional part with multi purpose. I was very indecisive about the last thing: undermount vs top mount sink and finally decided after reading this - I will go top mount....See MoreQuartzite... why is this not more popular in Australia?
Comments (5)Hello Jodes and Siriuskey, Solid Surface Materials (such as Corian) are a totally different type of material to Reconstituted stone. We have sections in our website that may be helpful to you as these provide an explanation about the differences in their properties. Our pages asOur Buyer's Guide to Reconstituted Stone and Our Buyer's Guide to Solid Surface; if you click these two titles each will take you to the respective pages. As for what they are, Solid Surface material has no stone in it, they are pure Acrylic, whereas Reconstituted stone is also a manmade product which is made with up to 95% crushed Quartz that is mixed with 5% polymer resin to make a sheet (NB: Quartz is a different mineral to Quartzite). In regard to price comparison, there is no definite answer to this as it will depend on the kitchen benchtop layout and the material you are comparing. All the different Marble vary in price, all granite's vary in price and so too does Quartzite, all these also come in different sheet sizes and so the number of sheets to complete a project may vary to effect the overall cost. Quartzite (and Granite) are harder then Marble and require more labour to fabricate, but these (Quartzite and Granite) are stain, acid and scratch resistant so better suited for kitchens than Marble. All in all, as a general statement; all these materials are high end and are best chosen for their properties and benefits and less so for their cost. Hope this helps, regards Malcolm....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
