Re: Should the media unit match the kitchen cupboardsInterior Decorating Lounge

May 16, 2018 7:02 pm

I think a nice walnut entertainment unit would look lovely. We have the exact same colour scheme and the Neo lounge from King and we went with a walnut unit from Click On Furniture. Love it. Thanks DamNita! It’s been hard finding a picture with the same colour scheme. I think a walnut or dark unit ...

Oooo we are yet to handover and move in, but we will have a very similar layout! We also have the reo in viva brown/Congo legs RFR. :) Our floors are eng. timber oak bourbon. And we also thought for ages about coffee table and entertainment unit colours worrying about too much timber. In the end we...

Should the media unit match the kitchen cupboardsInterior Decorating Lounge

Apr 26, 2018 6:11 pm

I need help with choosing the media unit colour. We have an open living area with the kitchen nearby. The kitchen has all white cupboards and white bench tops. The floors are spotted gum and the walls are a very light warm grey. Furniture wise we have a grey speckled lounge matched with a dark brown...

We need to get a few media units and a study area done. In terms of your joinery is there anything you wish you did differently or suggest to do? Tha...

It's all looking wonderful! You've done well with the colour scheme and lighting. I'd love to know what plant you have in the white pot in the last picture. We'll eventually get some indoor plants but all that's on my wish list is a fiddle leaf fig. Enjoy your new home! Can't wait to see the floorin...

Throughout our build we found there were numerous issues that we had to inform our ss about. Even then most were not actioned straight away. As a result they had to do more to fix the issue as the build progressed. At PCI we had 87 defects. A lot of these issues could have been rectified earlier if ...

Your house is looking fab! The garage door matches the facade really well. Btw, Ray is coming to our house tomorrow for electrical work. Can't wait to see my kitchen pendants go up.

@mel, we had the same issue. They wouldn't allow us to change the colour and has been painted the same colour as the ceiling. By the time we received our keys the timber cracked and it is quite visible. It should really be covered with fc sheeting. Hi Sydfam, Why did you accept pci and i don't need...
