lawry 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2007 Does your vanity cover the entire wall area across?Can actually draw some 3D pictures with colors to see the effects, you already got your wall colors and your black solid surface, just need to know what's the cabinet like ...

lawry 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) Ask for some color coordination perspective drawings from your ID before you decide your tile colors, solid surface and cabinet color. Easier to decide the colors on paper first, then select the material. Since your tiles already up and decided, I guessed you already knew your theme, just short of which cabinet color to use. Wenge is out, makes your toilet very dark since your floor tiles is like maroon?I've drawn up something since I'm quite free now, heheh.You decide and see which color you think is nicer.http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4530/oasisvanitykx9.gif Edited April 14, 2007 by lawry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oasis 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2007 think I'll be going with the light wood but I must say the white actually looks pretty nice!

lawry 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 You're welcome.That wasn't white actually, it's very light wood. Ask if your ID have this TAK laminates catalogue. I've 1 with me here, borrowed from my ID for all my carpentry laminates selection. That laminate is called Sukiri Bamboo WY1210D on page 13 from the collection 2007 - 2008.I've went through all these before, considered black top with various cabinet colors also, but eventually I gave up the vanity cabinet idea due to space constrains. Hhah, I've seen a few solid surfaces before, so it's roughly there. I liked this particular one, black surface with small white dots and some red sparkling spots. But in the end, I opted for black galaxy granite instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
