Re: Did we make the right decision on floors?Interior Decorating Lounge

I like the oak and think it will look fine. Timber floors really seem to go with just about everything! TBH the only thing that jarrs a little for me is the red tile. Perhaps it's my monitor but the colour is coming up fire engine red, which has a yellow/orange undertone. I would prefer a darker coo...

I have seen the new marmoleum a few times at trade shows & and it looks fantastic. Apparently it is starting to become popular as it's apparently eco-friendly, very hardy, soft underfoot and quite a good insulator. Surely the designer has some samples & pics to show you?

Yes, 2FK, it would be a travesty. Maybe try & sell your benchtops on ebay. I got a quote from GT a couple of years ago for a property we were selling & it was at least the same price as getting new bench tops.

Lucky you for having that wonderful ceiling height! I think you should definitely keep the fireplace. I like to fill all the way to the ceiling. Either put in wardrobe doors to standard height - say 9 feet- and then put another smaller cupboard on top (Need a step ladder but provides critical extra ...

My question is, how do you install soap holders post-handover? I mean do you have to get someone to do it or is it easy as like putting a glue to the holder and the tile? They are not glued but drilled into the tiled wall, and should come with instructions.

xquisite, If I use a light beige or stone look on the floors, should I use the same tiles on the walls, or should I go for the white gloss look on the walls? Keeping in mind its a small bathroom. Which look would be better? You could go for either, as a lot depends on the vanity etc that you'll be ...

I like them all except the eva for that room - as long as they're the right size, as Michelle pointed out. I think the Freedom ones may be smaller? I like your rattan idea a lot, and think that the eva lights are too hard for the space. I would go with something softer & earthier like the others...

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback! Michelle, I thought Lexicon was a stark cold white? (maybe ive confused it with another colour i saw). It might be ok for the living /dining,but wondering about the 2 bedrooms at the back that get very little light at all, whether i should do a warmer white in the...
Lexicon does have a cool undertone. To be honest, I don't know that I'd go white in your place. I like something like e...

Try not to put too many items up in one space that will pull the attention away from the other. They need to work with each other. ITA. Actually, my first thought was whether the table could go on the painted wall. Or is there not enough room to get around the corner? Be careful that 2 "featur...

Well if they are ex pats that can buy and go back and live there, but what if you just see the states as an opportunity to invest ? can you buy a house and go there and live ?

I just use a razor blade for old glue etc, but you can also try a paint scraper (just a razor blade in a holder). I find this mechanical method more successful than trying to unstick it chemically.

Ok,i like these,i think there is a oval shape as well... Hope I'm not stating the obvious but the taps that these 2 need will be quite different. The round / oval ones really need the tap coming out from the wall above - unless you have a tall tap next to the bowl - which would look odd IMO. the sq...
