Comments (4)I think you can pull this together with some elbow grease and a few dollars. I'm not sure what you mean about extending the breakfast bar, but since the top looks like dark granite and everything else appears to be very light and neutral it give the Kitchen a a cave like effect. You might find a darker chandalier and hang it 30" off the table top instead of so low. Use a flat weave rug in simple stripes or a cisal with a dark border. Darker seat cushions tied onto the chairs. Replace the mirror with a single large clorful print....See MoreHelp with ugly view from living/dining area
Comments (13)I would use plants to brighten the space. The hardscapes are all good, they just look a bit naked and grim. It can be hard to make a space pretty but usable for the kids too, but its not impossible. You have a lovely sitting area to enjoy. Plant some lovely feature bushes in that gravel area. You don't need to completely hide the clothesline, but having something pretty and showy in front will create a boundary and the eye will be drawn to the plants instead of the washing. If you can't plant into the soil there, some large size pots will work. Maybe some medium sized (1-2metre) ornamental trees in pots, like citrus, a weeping ornamental cherry, or bay trees, moptop robinias are nice too. They will be compact. You could cluster some pots of herbs underneath or plant them and let them ramble a little. Herbs like thyme and rosemary and lavender will suit the gravel area and the heat and be hardy with kids playing around, the odd bike falling on them or crushing underfoot would be quite okay. bulbs in pots or planted around the edges of the lawn are great value low maintenance and hardy colour. You can get great seasonal variation in your view then. Online bulb stores like tesselar and garden express sell bulk landscaping bulbs at very reasonable prices. You can get hundreds of bulbs for $30-50. Bulbs are great hardy plants that won't be killed by the odd soccer ball either. The flowers may get knocked over or the leaves, but the bulb is safe under the soil. Cheap and cheerfuls like nasturtiums are good value colour that will self seed every season. Also, plant some very bright flowering shrubs behind the soccer net and against the far wall. Maybe some hibiscus? You need something to catch and entice the eye, plant some large flowering shrubs with larger or bright flowers or foliage you will be able to appreciate from a distance....See Morewhat colour to paint wall around presses
Comments (0)I want to paint my kitchen walls inclusive of where the presses are so the wall with the window and the wall to the right. The island is a sage colour. I am thinking a very light heather colour so the kitchen will tie in with the living room (pic2) & get a rug for under the finish table to link the two. Any opinions? PS. I'm thinking of getting a yellow rig for the living room under the poof & front two legs of each of the couches...See Morewhat colour to paint wall around presses
Comments (2)I think the heather and sage tones will work well together. Putting rugs under dining tables isn't that practical for clearing up if you have kids or grand kids. I also like the sound of the yellow, but it would have to be very pale. Grey might work better, good luck x...See More

6 years agoDefinitely get a rug. I find your room to be cold and a rug would warm it up and really incorporate the teal chairs.

6 years agoYou have such a lovely tall room I would capitalize on the height and add a framed canvas on the wall with some type of sconces on the wall and a coordinated chandelier

6 years agoI notice the table between your chairs (which is a little tall; can it be lowered?) is a bit industrial, so you could skip the rug and head in that direction.

6 years agoIt looks like the table could be lowered to here. It would look better and be more functional. Even lower would probably be better, but that would require a new table.

6 years agoYou don't necessarily need a rug under your dining room table. You could possibly add art to give your room some more color. Here are a few of our dining rooms to give you some ideas on how your dining room could look:

6 years agoA Rug would revalue and complete the entire room. BeverlyFLADeziner mentioned a perfect size for it. Our favourites would be light creme colours and a calm design to keep the focus on the furnitures and accessoires. Some examples below, if interested we can make a custom Rug according size and design.

6 years agoYou should definitely go with a rug in your dining room. A wool rug is the most durable and easiest to clean. One of the inherent qualities of natural wool is it's ability to hide dirt. Choose a size that's large enough to allow for the chairs to be pulled out. Below is a teal overdyed handknotted, 100% New Zealand wool rug.

3 years agoI would not add the fully teal rug because it’s same as your accent chairs. It doesn’t go well and it looks like it’s the continuation of chair fabric. If rug is what you want, I’d use a distressed rug with slight hints of teal/ slate and tan in it. Check out Loloi rugs, they have great options and complement any interior style :) this is just an example.
