wd88 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2010 I am now pondering the placement of my sofa before I proceed to buy them. I am initially comtemplating to place my 3 seater sofa as indicated in the left unit. However, I thought that this wasn't so good as the sofa has no backing and people will be walking behind the sofa from the main entrance. Hence, option 2 came up. As there is a 300 mm height difference between the living room and dining area, I thought perhaps I could shift the 3 seater to the side and place either 2 x 1 seater or a 2 seater in front of the TV. http://img268.imageshack.us/f/livinganddiningareas.jpg/ Any views? Btw, I am also going to install a mirror at the dining area (indicated in yellow colour), comtemplating whether it should be full or half height. In addition, I intent to install them in 3 sections so that replacement can be in a smaller piece rather than a single piece if anything goes wrong. Would like to hear from the people here.

Rgds WD With backing yet can see main maintrance(overseeing incoming) is the best layout. Backing concept translates to modern term: always positioning youself side by side a "backer" who is "stronger" in term of power, $, knowledge, etc, is always right for time in needs. Maximum length for mirror = 8ft, unless customised with machine lifting device- not so practical for indoor installation. Minimum height of mirror = level with dinner table's height, and all the way up to ceiling/false ceiling(max 6 ft, otherwise need to horizontally join). Horizontally join, personally feel not so nice. Always put "same number" of mirrors at L & R, if were to join vertically with the center piece. Avoid horizontal joining for mirrors, "image sight" no good - broken arms/legs/body/neck. Edited July 13, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My eldest bro has one but only abt 3.5ft dia. "Round" is good-no beginning no ending, signifies good & long standing relationship. This corner-terace seems "long" - same as those in Thomson's Sin Chew Walk. Look like will be quite stuffy in living & Kitchen. A friend of mine has one "long" in sin chew walk, knock down wall betwn wet & dry kichen. Sliding doors between living & pato. Tall ceiling of 2nd flr fixed with transparent windows (use bamboo stick to open & close! They forgot to use rc contriol) Edited July 14, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much choice that I have and the round table is given to me by my mum..FOC. I share the sentiment that the living room and dry kitchen are small in my opinion, I wish I would have more $$$$..heheh Cheers WD An update to the Ground floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor Ground floor http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/8185/fl...groundlevel.jpg 2nd floor http://img842.imageshack.us/f/floorplannersecondlevel.jpg/ 3rd floor http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7536/fl...rthirdlevel.jpg Edited July 20, 2010 by wd88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
