mahjongace 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 what is flush in or flush out? You mean there are 2 ways to mount? FLUSH IN--TV built into the feature wall...from the side...unable to see the TV coming out. (need exact thickness of wall mount + TV in order to gauge the thickness of the feature wall needed in order to hide everything by the side) FLUSH OUT---TV just mount onto the feature wall....from the side...able to see the back of the TV.

gals_mama 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 I haven choose my curtains yet, Sam jie how long did ur curtain take to be done? I was thinking can shift in then do? cos dunno what colour to choose. Was thinking of buying from ikea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zelly 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 I haven choose my curtains yet, Sam jie how long did ur curtain take to be done? I was thinking can shift in then do? cos dunno what colour to choose. Was thinking of buying from ikea. It takes about 2 to 3 weeks to make. I think ikea comes in certain size and design, which if you have a window which does not fit into the standard ikea size may end up more expensive. Usually the curtain will match ur paintings, furniture and lightings. You can get the curtain makers to go in and advise. But you can always look at mags on colors and design. If in doubt, choose safe and single color for 1 stretch of window, and follow the same color family as the walls around the curtains. Another choice will be lines or stripes, but of the same color or similar color. Thus the curtains will be timeless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
