Comments (10)Hi Raman! Megan from Bluethumb online art gallery here. I agree that a large artwork would really add to the space and fill up the empty wall above the couch. Having artworks really adds personality to a room, and our philosophy here at Bluethumb is no nude walls! I saw that a canvas print has been suggested, but why buy a print when you can have a unique, original artwork by a local artist on your wall? Also, if you're thinking of floating shelves, a great way to make them a feature is some small framed prints! I think some white floating shelves on that 105cm wall by the archway would look great. I have a few suggestions for you: For the large piece above the couch, I'd go with a green toned piece that ties into the accent colour of the cushions. A nice landscape or nature themed piece would work well. https://bluethumb.com.au/claire-souter/Artwork/the-leaves-in-my-tropical-garden I've mocked this first option up for you - https://bluethumb.com.au/kitmcneill/Artwork/shifting-mist-over-wentworth-falls-blue-mountains-landscape https://bluethumb.com.au/fenton-bjw/Artwork/dionysus-s-eminence https://bluethumb.com.au/elaine-green/Artwork/my-view-or-the-way-i-see-it-elaine-green https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/pennyp/artwork/melbourne-summer For some smaller pieces for the floating shelves, you could try some prints or small original pieces by these popular artists: https://bluethumb.com.au/angus-martin/Artwork/crowded-v3 https://bluethumb.com.au/jasmine-radakovic/Artwork/female-form-151176 https://bluethumb.com.au/daniellagermain/Artwork/snowy-mountain-cottages https://bluethumb.com.au/sally-browne/Artwork/magpie-lennox-street-flame-tree https://bluethumb.com.au/darlene-lavertyty/Artwork/australian-wattle-watercolour-painting-limited-edition-print-large-framed-darlene-lavett https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/megangeorgephoto/artwork/floral-accent Let me know if you'd like any others mocked up, or if I can help with any more suggestions. Hope this helps!...See MoreWhat can I do with 80's wooden bar area?
Comments (33)Hi Anne, Your home is beautiful with so much potential. There have been some clever ideas presented but I think its important to have an overall plan that you're working towards. This way you avoid needing to re-do certain areas. With the overall plan you would decide which materials you like and what needs to change and then you can stick to that plan as you roll out the changes. For instance, I think the brick on fireplace wall is a lovely feature of the home but the brick in the kitchen area is competing with it. With the timber panelling, it was certainly a feature of the home originally but these days we tend to paint out the panelling to make spaces feel lighter and more open. We often use Dulux China White when working with robust materials like brick and timber as it has a warm stone like tone. In one of the pictures, I can see that there is a full feature brick wall in another room which should creates a lovely flow and consistency. This is a home in Fairhaven Victoria that looked just like yours (but without the brick) and was painted in the China White. Cheers, Vikki. Your bathroom will also looks great with a touch of paint and a new vanity....See MoreBar Unit Decor Ideas
Comments (5)Yes a gold mirrored tray would look beautiful, maybe a lamp with similar colouring to the barrel, timber vases that you could use for stirrers etc., try Temple and Webster, Zanui, My Deal even Ebay for the tray....See MoreJulie Herbert
