good luck containing the kids stuff to one area hahah

Changed it again
Think we're happy with this one

[.Stripes.]

So I'm currently lining up a few things for the house and am chasing some input and thoughts from others.

 

Firstly, the blinds situation. I'm thinking roller blinds throughout the house and think I've settled on a colour scheme of light grey paint on the walls throughout the house and a darker charcoal type grey roller blinds, which all seems to tie in nicely with the dark window and door frames.

 

 

 

 

Dilemma I'm currently having is in the master bedroom though. This is what I'm currently working with.

 

 

So, again, walls will be the grey from the above photos and I'll fark off the broken venetians and green curtains. Behind those green curtains is actually a bay window, which I'm thinking I'll do a box/bench seat with some storage in it to utilise the space. Currently thinking of going the same charcoal roller blinds in here too...but kinda worried there might be a fair chunk of light bleed around the edges of the bay window etc. Problem is that curtains won't work as well if I'm putting in a bench seat later, plus they take up a lot of room and collect bulk dust. I feel the rollers would give a nice clean contemporary look, but curious to know what others think.

 

Secondly, looking at getting a sparky out to add some power points, change the halogen downlights to LED and some other bits and pieces. Question is, downlights in the master bedroom - yay or nay? I'm looking at putting a ceiling fan in, so it's deciding between a fan/light combo unit, or fan and 4 dimmable downlights. They're great in the kitchen/dining area, just not sure if they're worth it or a bit too much in the bedroom?

similar colour combo we are in the process of doing stripes

 

change everything to led, saving a fortune on power since I converted everything.

Yeah, I'm changing all the halogens to LED, Freaky. But the bedrooms and study all have a single oyster light in the middle of the room...so I'm trying to decide if I just replace all those with ceiling fan/light combos...or put dimmable LED downlights and a separate ceiling fan in the master bedroom and study, and light/fan combos in the back bedrooms...

[bossmang]

depends what heating a/c is in the rooms if fans are needed?

[.Stripes.]

Got reverse cycle ducted throughout whole hose and split system in master bedroom. But nice to be able to get a bit of airflow when it's not overly hot but a bit stuffy without having to run the aircon (cheaper too).

[bossmang]

yer sounds good go for it, the new fans have led in them anyways

[.Stripes.]

Would you bother with downlights in the master bedroom and study though? Or just the light in the fan?

[bossmang]

I find sometimes the light on a fan isnt enough. all depends. I have a single pendent type of light in our room at the moment 

 

the norm is about 4 led downlights per room but can be over kill.
