We have recently done a renovation to my hair salon but the back wall is lacking something. I’m not sure what I should do? Any ideas? Thank you

How about your salon name in a nice sculptural arrangement

Its really nice , really modern . I'd agree with Kates idea -- get your logo/name laser cut from stainless , get it mounted so it is 40mm 'out' from the wall ( spacers behind the sign ) . Depending on size and cost , if you still have money and'or space , how about a couple of brushed stainless 'poster frames' , get the reps to supply some advertising posters ( hair styles/hair products ) or even make your own ( 'this months special' printed across a models picture or similar ) .

Another option may be a 42 or 55 inch TV -- even if you just have the music channel or something on it , it creates colour and movement and gives clients something to look at ( and music at a low volume for staff ) -- the sign and/or poster idea gets boring after 30 seconds , a TV shouldn't .

So many great suggestions here for you! What a fabulous house to work with. I would extend the pergola out to where the BBQ is, but scrap it. I also suggest replacing the brick paved area with large creamish pavers & use the bricks to pave the path in a bit if a curve. Utilize the curved area for seating widening the steps as suggested. A couple of large pots with citrus either side. These could be planted later as the garden progresses. Also a grape vine or wisteria planted to grow over the pergola would give summer shade & let light into the house in winter. I would screen the granny flat with either a few hardy bushes or a lattice type screen & grow a passion-fruit, kiwi fruit or climbing rose. If you don't like the climbing thing something structural like yucca's or cordylines, both low maintenance - talk to your local nursery, they are the experts. They may offer garden design too. Also have a look at http://plantselector.botanicgardens.sa.gov.au/ Just put in your postcode & you get a list of plants with pictures, descriptions etc. Enjoy your garden room. Good luck.

Thankyou for all help and suggestions. We are going with brick pillars and hedge between, with chain wire fence for security whilst the hedges grow. We want to tie it in with the front brick pillar and panel fence. We would not the pillars as close t ogeather as the fence, but we arent sure if to do every second, third or fourth pillar spacing?. Appreciate opinions.

Ideas for screening out some townhouses at the back of my place
Q

Hi Ebony, This is a very interesting challenge! Slender Weavers Bamboo is good, however usually to get height in a screening plant, it will also need to spread. To get the height you need to block the view of the townhouse, I think it will be growing too wide within the laneway. Also, planting in the laneway could prove problematic. I'm assuming this is Council land and therefore they could come along at any time and remove what you have planted (although it doesn't look like much maintenance is performed by Council). You could also face the wrath of your neighbours, or other local residents who might use the lane and feel that you shouldn't be planting there. You would be best to find a solution within your boundary. You could try and extend the rear fence with wires or lattice and plant a climber or I really like the previous suggestion of planting climbers to the verandah posts and block the distant views from on the verandah. Good luck with this challenge!

Without getting too confusing , the more I thought -- I reckon you want to do that back wall in an earthy reddy brown -- something like Dulux Jules or Electric Glow -- THEN add your name or TV or whatever else . It just needs a slight Wow to add to the earthy charcoal walls and lighter ceiling tones , rather than a continuation of them . Whatever you put on that wall will pop then !

A fabulous mural or street art would look fabulous, an artist would cover the entire wall, incorporating the door an a/c unit, could look stunning.
