Colour choices! It’s pure insanity! I ended up going with Haymes Paint Nearly White 3 in their bass colour (so not mixing it in another base). If you want to go with Dulux then I hear that Grand Piano Half or Hog Bristle Half is also good. My only advice is choose up to 3-4 colours and that’s it. Any more, then it may be better to pay for a colour consultation with one of the big companies (which would give you a discount on paint anyway) and take the headache out of it all together!!

Hi Siriuskey, They are timber looking tiles - we absolutely love them. We are considering the same for the new place but potentially herringbone/parquetry arrangement. Much more expensive vs. laminate but easier to clean and no concern in relation to water...

Hello, this is exactly why window treatment specialists such as ourselves exist! There are a lot of options depending on your preference for internal look. Some simple ideas such a dual roller blinds have already been referenced. You’ll have to meet with a consultant to see how two fabrics pair, especially if you’re considering one being light filtering. You can also mix treatments such as a dark roller blind recess fit to the window, and a light roman blind fit over the architrave which will give you a soft fabric finish. Alternatively white plantation shutters contrasting an exterior black window frame can actually look really stunning. It does depend on the style of the black framing you use. Feel free to post a picture of your style of window frame used and I can try to help you online Shannon -RPShutters www.riverinaplantationshutters.com.au

It begs the Question ‘Why do you need the shutters, if not for privacy?’ Given ‘your look’ why not Sheers, panels of decorative screening (I.e. fretted panels that are side hinged) https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/669629038358386262/. Can be layered cut
