While some might argue that feature walls can be a bit much , we'd like to counter with the argument that: it's your home — and you should do what you want!
Injecting your own personality and taste into your home is one of the most exciting parts of creating your own abode, so if you want a feature wall, you should absolutely have one. There's no denying that when done incorrectly, feature walls can be a major distraction from the rest of the house for both your guests, and yourself. Make sure your feature wall works in harmony with your furniture and choose a colour and shade that easily elevates your home's style.
Be mindful of your feature wall placement as well, otherwise your feature wall can look out of place and confusing. As any homes enthusiast will know, interior design trends come and go each and every year — so you may find that, a few years after painting your entryway turquoise, it no longer looks fresh and fun, but dated and daggy.
As mentioned, its all very well and good to add your own vibrant personality to your home but , if you're intending on selling your home and moving somewhere new in a short while, it might be best to hold off on on the chartreuse feature wall in the living room.

I would redo the retaining wall with large boulders in a more freestyle layout than the current straight line and take up some of the concrete drive near the retaining wall to create a garden on the lower level, curved to still provide access to all of the undercroft unless you wish to enclose part of it with a large full height window.
I'd love to see the wrought iron balustrade painted black. My home in the mid sixties had salmon coloured bricks, white window frames and fabulous turquoise gutters!
The downpipes were painted to match the bricks thankfully - turquoise might have been a bit over the top! Good luck with your project, would love to see your progress. Check on maintenence as this could be a continuing issue I believe. Home automation - smart home features Q. There is no right or wrong answer, as it depends on both your appetite for it and your budget We do lighting with preset scenes only now as we've found most people still prefer to use a switch, even if it is a simple dimmer press switch.
Where a lot of big money is spent and systems become unwieldy is in the level of programming required at the switch itself vs the board and how many commands it needs to do a simple action. We've tried all sorts of systems but generally find the simplest wins all of the time as it is more user friendly. At present, we are trialling the simplest system we have found so far which is Amazon voice activated service Alexa with off the shelf light switches from Belkin available in eg JB Hi Fi , portable music systems and aircon integration.
As it is mostly plug and play wireless it is so far making the hard wired systems we've used before seem overly complicated and expensive. It is also expandable and once you see what Amazon has in store for us here in Oz re services you can order with it, it can be quite amazing Looks good. Before I read through discussion, I had these thoughts. So you could as an option get a test pot of Dulux double Self Destruct or even triple.
I would not use Monument, or similar to the roof color as it will disappear into the roof. I also think the front fence would look better painted a stronger colour from your existing but as it seems it has just been painted perhaps you could do that, when and if you liked, to cut down expense.
On the Dulux website they also give you colours that look good with Self Destruct.
