When it comes to buying or designing a house, do y

When it comes to buying or designing a house, do you prefer open plan spaces or a series of more intimate individual rooms? Both layouts for me have their merits, but I think you have to be very careful when opting for a full open plan solution. Before getting carried away with designing a house you really need to consider so many points and whether something that you like the look of is actually right for you and your family.

You need to consider the question of open plan vs individual rooms carefully.

What are your thoughts on this question? How do you feel about open plan vs individual rooms? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Do you have any good ideas for effective open plan layouts?

Which kitchen pendants should I choose is one of t

Which kitchen pendants should I choose is one of the questions that I am most often asked.

I think that the issue that people have is that there are so many on the market to choose from and a wide range of styles.

Then there is the question of how many pendants they should have.

Too often, this is a choice that is made at the end of the kitchen selections process but this decision, together with other styling touches, should really be part of the initial kitchen plan.

I show you how in my blog.

A sofa can be amongst the most expensive furniture

A sofa can be amongst the most expensive furniture decisions you will make and you should expect one to last for a decent amount of time.

Styles come and go and our tastes change over the years, so with such a significant investment you need to carefully consider this choice.

Ensure you determine the style that you love and select something that is timeless to work with that style.

I have lots to tell you about what you need to consider over on my blog.

Have you read all the advice in my blog but still

Have you read all the advice in my blog but still not sure which colour to paint your house?

Are you concerned that you have made the right choice for your kitchen colours and finishes? Are you still confused about which flooring to select for your new home?

Have you selected the right colour for your roof?

If you have interior decorating or colour problems then I can help with an online colour consultation.

You can sign up for a one-on-one online colour Consultation where you get to speak with me about your decorating/colour problem and send me photos to review.

You may have already chosen colours and finishes for your new dream home but are concerned that you haven’t made the right choices. Building is expensive so you may want a second opinion to ensure you are on the right track. For example, does the stone benchtop you chose work with the cabinet colour? Should you have selected a darker floor or a different style of front door? Do you like the selections you have made but are just not confident that it all comes together well?

If this is you, then I can help. The process is simple and I have a number of packages to assist you.

You often see trim and doors painted in white. How

You often see trim and doors painted in white. However, you can get quite a different effect if you paint these areas in a darker tone.

This is a very effective way of using a light coloured paint on the walls without the look appearing one dimensional.

This look is perfect for a country or transitional style home.

Would you consider this for your next paint scheme?

Look at a colour wheel and you will find teetering

Look at a colour wheel and you will find teetering on the edge of blue and almost meeting green, the colour Duck Egg Blue, often also referred to as Robin’s Nest Blue.

Generally accepted to be in the blue family, when looked at closely, many will perceive this colour as green.

Regardless of whether you see blue or green, there is no denying this is a beautiful interior paint colour. Click through in the bio link and you will find my blog post with heaps of inspiration for you.

Colorbond Monument is a much loved off-black, warm

Colorbond Monument is a much loved off-black, warm dark grey which is perfect for exteriors.

I find it preferable to pure black which can be very heavy, although it partners with it perfectly when you need a contrast.

Brass lights work perfectly with it as Monument has a warm brown undertone. You can use this colour for walling, roofs, gutters, fascias and windows. It's perfect for a classic Hamptons style roof or it is equally at home on a contemporary home.

I have the full run-down on Colorbond Monument over on my blog - click through the link in the bio to read it.

The beauty of Zellige tiles is in their craftmansh

The beauty of Zellige tiles is in their craftmanship. With their origins in North Africa, these handmade clay tiles are loved for their uniqueness.

Each one is slightly different which adds to their appeal, however this also presents some issues with using these tiles. As with everything when you are renovating or building, the hidden costs of installation can often send the budget into meltdown.

I must say however, that all interiors need a touch of uniqueness or you run the risk of the outcome being bland and lovingly made tiles can be the perfect way to judiciously add that finishing touch.
