Please help to cover ugly fence!
Comments (14)I have a similar issue, although we only have 2.0m between our house and the timber fence. I'm going to try to do something similar to the following to at least block the main "view" into our windows: [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/van-adelsberg-grant-residence-contemporary-garden-portland-phvw-vp~6010853[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/van-adelsberg-grant-residence-contemporary-garden-portland-phvw-vp~6010853) [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mod-kensington-modern-garden-san-francisco-phvw-vp~5094505[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mod-kensington-modern-garden-san-francisco-phvw-vp~5094505) [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mod-kensington-modern-garden-san-francisco-phvw-vp~5897343[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mod-kensington-modern-garden-san-francisco-phvw-vp~5897343) [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/lakewood-remodel-contemporary-garden-austin-phvw-vp~2299166[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/lakewood-remodel-contemporary-garden-austin-phvw-vp~2299166) I'm still not sure what plants to put in front of or around the timber privacy screens. We really like the look of pencil pines, but I'm not sure they're right for the climate (Brisbane, Queensland) or whether they will receive sufficient sunlight....See MoreDesigners/creative folk..Please help with..ideas for bathroom reno....
Comments (18)Your mockup scheme is similar to our master bathroom we just completed - photo below. I know you mentioned storage being a concern - our mirrored cabinet has offered an amazing amount of storage in a very small space and also helps bounce light around. I was worried about black taps etc too so we kept chrome fixtures but added in a matte black candle and black potted orchid to create a similar effect which we can change out later on. Our floor tiles are dark but because they are semi-polished they actually bounce around a lot of light and don't make the room feel dark if that is a concern. We also have a huge fiddle leaf fig in the corner (not pictured) which adds a really nice feel to the space - a plant like that could help bring in the outside greenery in your bathroom. Instead of the storage tower you have to the left of the vanity could you do say some floating wood shelving, possibly with baskets added for more hidden storage? You could also bring in the 60s theme with what you displayed on there eg. photos as you mentioned? In regards to the window - a previous house we lived in had a window at about shoulder height in the shower - as well as letting in heaps of light it was amazing for storing toiletries etc!...See MoreNeed help with fence/infill/gate designs
Comments (13)I know Michelle, wrought iron is what we wanted, but the cost is a killer The blade fencing quote is 8.5k, including the gate automation. I should have checked Stratco prices. They have nice/simple designs Hi Kate, the 1st photo looks good, hubby is working on garden bed on both sides of the fence, using our old plants from the same area, but would not be high enough to cover the fence I'm thinking of picking up the design of the window?? but husband said its tacky haha I should have until Monday to decide wether to go ahead with blade fence or change it Husband said if I'm not happy just go and change it - duh! :)...See MoreIdeas for garden design
Comments (7)It would be good to have an idea of which climate zone you are in and a little info about rainfall, soil? That will tell you which types of plants you should use. I think the pavers are a great feature to design around, rather than trying to change. Because they are irregular and are staggered, the garden should have a few types of plants repeated for impact. Think also about what style of garden you have elsewhere and what sort of look you enjoy.... mediterranean? tropical resort?, cottage garden?, formal? natives?, natural bush? I think you could have a row of medium sized trees alternating with shrubs, a lower row of plants in the front and then invest in ground covers and ornamental grasses like dichondra and mondo to ramble around your paving and pull it all together. If you take the cue from the trees over the fence, some lilly pillies or even medium sized flowering gums would look nice. I think the suggestion to put a bench our seating area out there is a good one, the space needs a purpose to help you know how to plant it. If it is somewhere you travel through from once space to another, then the plants should help hide and reveal beauty and create interest along the way. If you don't much use it, maybe the birds will? grevillea and bottlebrush would attract them....See More- 3 years ago
