Hi, any ideas on how to complete the back deck ?? It's hard to tell from this angle but the deck is 4.2 x 10 meters, hoping to be able to use all year round without restricting too much light

Any ideas for the living room?
Comments (10)Great space, love the room.. Have you ever considered painting the ceiling in a fun, vibrant color? Might be just the thing you need to brighten up the space.

Comments (2)Yes, for that size I would look somewhere like Southern Hospitality who supply restaurants etc, https://www.southernhospitality.co.nz/categories/storage-shelving/bulk-containers.html or Stowers who supply plastic bins to may food industries: http://www.plastic.co.nz/plastic-products/pd-square_rectangularpails.html Check that the seal on the lids is suitable for long term storage, as you may have a slower turnover than restaurants would. Be aware that slides for pullouts carrying that sort of weight will be expensive. Another option is a floor level cupboard with bins on wheels for the very large and heavy items....See MoreAny ideas as to what I can do with the space under spiral staircase.
Comments (0)We have a large area under the spiral staircase which is under utilised. I have solved one area with a floating shelf but the main area directly under the staircase could do with something quirky and modern to stop our atrium from looking overly large and sparse.

11 years agoA pergola will obstruct light into the structure. What is the structure used for? How do you plan to use the deck for? Eating? Sitting? etc? Plan the activities and the furniture you'll need and draw up a floor plan. Floor plans are important outside & inside. The steps to the deck from the lawn are a little too abrupt. Needs a transition. Consider adding cement pavers to the grass, not as an extra patio but for a nicer transition design.

I like the retractable awning. You have a good amount of header, so it could be angled to deal with the direct sun and on a gloomy day, just push a button for more natural light.
