I wanted a colour that we can still sit in as a lounge room if we wanted but also dark enough that as a media room it still works. Hubby wanted black but I overruled haha As for the blinds, every place I've contacted have had them as an option Im just not sure how much they promote them. We are just going with a local blinds place but they seem to be around at others. The tracks are what appealed to us with complete block out. To give you an idea, for our media room blind it's costing $550 (3m x 90cm) from memory Re: Coral Homes Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens 92May 30, 2016 11:11 am baby_blonde409 Sucks about your big window especially for the media room , any other room it would have been okay. In our media room we have the long thin window at the top of the room, sucks you couldn't get that when it's probably the same size room and same purpose .. Hopefully the black out blinds work well and don't cost too much Manhattan 23 Ormeau Ridge Follow my build = viewtopic.php?t=80441 Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens Gold Coast viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81406 Re: Coral Homes Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens 93May 30, 2016 11:13 am Lexie85 Ours are light leather but I'm really pleased with how they have come up.

And what a bummer that your screen will be opposite the window. At least its not as big as mine!

Easily fixed! And curtains tend to be cheaper than blinds/shutters etc so think of it as money saving lol. Doesn't restrict furniture either as you can still have the curtains fall behind the lounge Lindsay & Ben (Building a Noosa 26 at Wallis Creek, Gillieston Heights) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81467&p=1524570#p1524570 Re: Coral Homes Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens 98May 30, 2016 11:35 am Ben+Lindsay We've made our media room window smaller (which I think was originally the same size as yours, now only 900mm high) as they wouldn't allow us to get rid of it completely... but we are planning to put full wall floor to ceiling block-out curtains along that wall so it will have that 'movie theatre' feel.

Doesn't restrict furniture either as you can still have the curtains fall behind the lounge Bloody hell everybody has smaller windows . But what you say is true, I do have a few options available lol. But my lounge wont be in front of the window anyway as there is a cavity door right opposite. Lounge will go on my right and projector screen to the left. I like that idea too about the floor to ceiling curtains. Its been so long since ive been to a cinema i forgot they have those lol.

As for the door, yes we upgrade to glass stained doors! Another love!! We only got 4 but they make such a difference to the whole look of the house! Worth every penny!
