Dfish 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Harlow Dfish!Looks cool, cant wait to see completed version with furniture... Btw, can ask u a question on ur false ceiling?....Im gog to start reno soon n we oso thinking of doing a "canal" false ceiling in our living rm like urs (me posted an ugly drawing on my blog prevsly cuz no ID hehe !! ) ....was wondering is ur "canal" a U-channel? or isit 2 C-shape channel facing each other? If so, do u install fluoroscent tubes inside right on top? Then can the tubes be seen when u look up?Sorry for the so-many questions....me n hubby a klutz when it comes to false ceiling even though we noe what we wan for the rest of hse liao....Btw, noticed we bght a few similiar pdts, ceiling manhattan n evovliving furniture too! Wondering if u r the couple I saw at evov the other day....hmm...... Thanks for any explanation!! Hi Greycat, dun know how to describe the ceiling. Basically, the fluoroscent tubes throws out light from one side, towards the TV feature wall side, so I dun think can see the tubes from that angle. See the below closeup pic.I like this type of ceiling cos I prefer "indirect" lighting. More soothing cos the light dun shine directly at you.No problem. U can ask as many questions, so long I know, I will answer. This forum is meant for sharing right? Oh yes.. we bought some similar items.. that shows we have same taste You demi sofa is L shape or 3 seater? I love the sofas at Evov. Like the clean cut design!

Should be around 5 inch. I'm using warm lights in the living roomThe cove is about 6.3m in length and I'm using 4 no. of fluoroscent tube. The downlights are 2x18W. I also have 4 nos of halogen lights but they are not lighted yet. In the pic that I posted, only the cove light and the PLC lights are on and the whole living room is very bright. If u scared not bright enough, use lights with higher watts. Warm lights makes the room more cosy..So your demi is the one in their showroom.. Saw it at the south bridge road branch. Mine is a 3 seater plus ottoman. I chose black colour fabric.. nice fabric they got! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daylight is those very white lights. Warm lights are not so white but they are not too yellow. You can go to those DIY shop where they show samples of the light bulbs to see.Halogen lights are those really yellow spot lights which are very warm. Not good for reading.If u do a lot of reading, its better to use daylight. For me, my study room uses daylight. As for living room, I want it cosy so I use warm light.Actually the ceiling and lighting design is from my ID. I just follow their design cos they are the professional in this area.

THE PAINTERS PAINT WRONG IS IT? HOW COME TURN WHITE?'.. then almost want to call id to ask, thought he had changed his mind and it looks nicer in white.. till hubby turns off the light and my black ceiling came back.. ben is got very nice voice one?? look quite charming one?? coz when i was there, this other guy serve me, super nice oso.. but coz i met maggie first so went back to her.. but i ask maggie before i left today, if the guy i saw at south bridge is gay.. haha.. coz a bit too stylish.. sorry and tks dfish, such a lengthy reply..

Hi Linda,Nice contrast of colours you have for your ceiling! Feels like looking up into the dark sky! My sofa demi is to be custom made to 3 seater and ottoman. The salesman, Ben told me that we could choose the firmness of the foam.. so I choose the less firm foam. Can even select the type of steel legs (polished or hairline finish). Yes the other models I tried the back is too low, not comfy to lay back.The coris does not have underground parking but our neighbours, Aspella and Atrina have. Coris window is full height in the living room and 3/4 in the other 2 bedrooms. Yes I love the windows!hehehehe....my new hse v far frm u all...im at JW wan...u all at sengkang rite?....2 worlds apart manz....
