Curved mirror ideas please
I have a large blank wall in my lounge room that is perpendicular to an amazing view of the beach. Would love a large curved mirror installation to be able to catch the view. Has anyone seen anything like this?

HELP!! Bedroom Ideas please...
Comments (7)Yes black and white can be very classy and pretty. I do suggest you add a pop of another colour (such as yellow) or else you might get tired of everything being black and white. I had a quick look on Google for black and white bedrooms and there are lots of inspiring photos to see there. You could add the pop of colour with the curtains, cushions on the bed, a rug on the floor, a lamp shade, art work hanging on the walls, some cute photo frames or a bunch of pretty flowers in a coloured vase. There are lots of easy ways to add colour to a room. Have a look on Google yourself or on the Houzz web site and get some ideas. Wishing you lots of luck and have fun decorating....See MoreWhat should I do with an ugly curved brick wall?
Comments (71)I love the drama of the brick wall and it is a major design feature of the house... however, there is a LOT of exposed brick with the fireplace surround also being exposed and you have mentioned you dont like the colour. Have you thought about covering up the other walls rather than this one, to tone down the brick work? I just wonder if you hate the amount of brick and you are taking it out on this wall because that's where it is concentrated while overlooking the rest of the house? Just food for thought... more food for thought. BTW I love the idea of hanging plants (though watering them might be a pain), I love the idea of a dramatic feature pendant and I also love the idea of the rug, all will soften or harmonise the drama. www.billyhoostudio.com...See Moredecoration ideas, please
Comments (13)I'd 'strip' things back even more , and my first step would be to get some stain and redo the buffet in a browner shade -- I'll be blunt , as it is something looks wrong . It is a modern shade on an older design , the square handles do nothing for the look , and the doors look like they are from a different tree to the drawers . Look at the chairs you are getting , and the legs look like they are meant to be there -- a warm brown that compliments the white . Then compare the leg tone to your buffet , and the buffet looks cold and almost a green tone . So you've 'warmed' that up , put your white vases on it , see how the red items look -- BUT the red and the light blue clash IMO , so move the blues to another room . There looks to be an attractive mirror in one shot , maybe add 1 bulbus white round vase/bowl with some wispy dried grasses and twigs , a 30 x 30 piece of art with red tones further along the wall -- go with mainly browns and whites but some red to lift the spirit ....See MoreHelp!

Comments (39)Hi Laura, I also love your inspiration photo. I think you're on the right track for what you want. It looks like an early summer image due to the jacaranda flowering so I would try and get a bit more colour in the planting and spread your flowering season to be as long as you can by choosing winter, spring and summer flowering plants. It appears that you have the ability to build one side of the garden up as you have a foudation below the fence. You shouldn't build it up in front of the actual fence as it will eventually rust out. If you do build it up in part, you could build seating into this to make two uses out of the retaining. You could intersperse this with the cortens to reduce the cost as that wont work so well for seating. Recycled timber could do the job and maybe mix with some gabions, which you can do on the cheap yourself if you have a source of rubble or stones. C....See More

last yearHi Bel Wil,
I see with the couch and TV location that you can still see out of the doors to the view from the couch and that with the TV, it is placed to avoid reflections on it from outside. The wall you suggest a mirror on is presumably reflecting the view back to the kitchen or dining space behind?
That is also a perfect wall for a large piece of art so if you want a mirror, make it big and artful! The couch style is contemporary so stay with that. I like the pebble suggestion and the two together, or more, could look awesome.
You could also go for a big circle which might look a bit like a port hole??? Very seaside.
This fancy frame one is from Bed Bath & Beyond @ 36" diameter but I think that might be the overall size so the mirror portion would be quite small. You could go with 2?
A collection to form a rectangle but with curves to soften it. Maybe rotate this 90 degrees.
You could do a collection of circular mirrors.
Or you could curate mirrors with some other collected objects for an original design.
You could even incorporate a clock into the collection??? The options are endless and it does not have to cost a lot if you search second hand stores or big items on sale that aren't necessarily designed as wall art. Even antique glass can mix with new for an interesting effect.
Have some fun with it and think outside the box.
