hihihi 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 simple can be nice. but do remb that computer image will always looks very much nicer than in actual implementation. Things u might have to consider: - ugly speaker wires - curtains the picture look nice bcoz everything is in verticle structure, making the ceiling look high and roomy, gives u a feel-good feeling. If it's HDB, then the ceiling height won't be that high. if u put a fan, then will turn your living room into a disco light ... soon u'll puke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sff 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Ya, dun think you would want to put lights above the fan as the moving blades will create flickering effects. Also cove ceiling can be home to lizards and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember - you will get "tired" about those once has been "very nice feature wall" - Simplicity is the key, next better keep some money in the pocket for the next "feature wall".

Will speak to my ID again. I'll not do the centre row of lights as advised by u all. Renovation with a tight budget is such a bother Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renovation with a tight budget is such a bother ya, me too. weighing the 3 options now: 1. do feature wall and tv console to wall mount tv 2. do feature wall but buy ready console, also wall mount 3. no feature wall, buy tv console, tv sitting on console. As for the wall, maybe paint a different coloour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the wall, maybe paint a different coloour I'm doing option 3 for my new place. My old place got built-in this and built-in that, but after a few years, the condition like not very good and then I don't know what to do cos throw also cannot, improve it like waste of money, so just live with it and find them eyesore.

I did false ceiling & those "boxes" with PLC downlight to counter the visual effects, beam become not obvious, except the one in Kitchen which I cannot do ANYTHING.
