And to you, and to Chook too, of course. Sydney just has the best fireworks, doesn't it? Though I'm glad that Mr Dog and I don't live there. It'll be rough enough here. Row, I think you've done a great job. Yes, the roller blind may no longer live in that room. Thanks for sharing the other pics -- see, you were dreaming of pattern on walls before I came along.

Hi yoscholtz. I can see you have a definitely understanding of what you like, and perhaps only struggle in putting what's in your mind together in your space. Try a few things by moving things around or layering grouped objects you like, then edit the room by taking things away until you are happy. It costs nothing to play with your interior, you often surprise yourself by following someone else's idea, only because they see your space very different to the person living in it. So.. From your layout I suggest the following. Push back the sofa at least to the first pane of glass, so it defines a bigger living zone, as these leather sofas are very heavy looking. Place a neutral area rug big enough to go under the foot of each sofa, making he space feel generous and inviting. Turn your coffee able to face the same direction as your tv, place a floor lamp in your corner next to the tv, or my preference is to add a table lamp to the tv low line. A pair of framed prints in your style above the sofa on the wall, and in the dining room, a mirror on the wall to reflect the living area, bringing the house together. don't overload your cushions, either place them all at one end of each sofa, one with a throw (the wall sofa) and stack some complimentary cushions on this end. This allows youth introduce colour. Don't just choose blue, bring in another tone, whether it be close or complimentary, blended colour is softer, and feels more personal, unlike display lounges. To make it feel lived in, allow for personal accents, framed pictures do it a little, it more so your accents and objects you place usually come from a theme or share something in common. And so these areas don't feel disconnected to each other, borrow something from each space and take it into the next joining space, for example, a colour, a texture or object. I've seen turquoise ceramic side tables like drums that Are perforated metal, or geometric ceramic ones that would look great in your lounge corner, or a round ottoman. The more soft fabric you bring in, the more it will feel inviting.

To what extent do you plan to tile the walls? Floor to ceiling or just the wet areas (shower/bath section and vanity splash back?). I would personally find full walls in that tile over-powering eg. https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/regents-park-contemporary-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~31719695  I prefer a more restrained use like this where the floor tile is used on one wall to give the illusion of more depth with other walls simple and white https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/wet-room-shower-bathroom-hampshire-phvw-vp~23525132  (Not a professional of any kind but...) Looking at your layout, I would be inclined to go with the feature tile on the floor, the bath hob (sides and surround) and on the long wall running parallel with the bath. The other walls I would tile and/or paint white.

I will be the loan naysayer and go: Vinyl Plank timber pattern tiles. I did these in my kitchen and they helped make the room. Used Karndean, but any European brand should be fine (avoid American and assume they are using American or worse if they don't say the country of origin). http://www.karndean.com/en-au/floors/landing-pages/new-looselay-longboard?gclid=CjwKCAjwspHaBRBFEiwA0eM3kQ7eEFPH5FlK2IwV3o7ZsbbmJ19srG0OM_tWK5dhPMNyDdwxGPUr4BoCoYcQAvD_BwE Caveats: Ground must be FLAT. 100% flat, ruler FLAT. If not you will have to level. If flat, you can lay them yourself. Our floor had to be levelled and it was tough. still got a few high patches and gaps because of that. However I have done it on a concrete surface myself since and it's beautiful. Benefits: Nice and soft on the foot. (less ankle pain) single tile replacement. Looks fantastic. No PVC glue fume issues and fairly resilient. Do be wary though of metal chair legs scraping the floor. Waterproof! when installed right with no gaps! (why I would choose them in a kitchen over timber or Eeek carpet!.... Yes previous owner installed shagpile carpet in the kitchen).
