gingar 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 haha, first and third choice huh.. i like the 1st one too, but scared will turn out too dark, 3rd one the color is nice, but after feeling the tiles more.. felt that it was too smooth, scared slip and fall.i think we're likely to go with the middle one.. juz cos of the kitchen wall color, and similar color to the living room tiles. hope it turns out fine. 2nd round of toilet tiles chosen is wall tiles much better than the first. *thumbs up* too bad the floor tiles not neutral color. Goes with the floor color for the rest of the house, so ok lor.my kitchen laminate also like dat one..black with the stripes thing... really? do you have a pix of it? wanna get a feel of the thing..

Goes with the floor color for the rest of the house, so ok lor.really? do you have a pix of it? wanna get a feel of the thing.. the pics i took cannot really see the stripes clearly...but it was better then what i expected. The whole thing is very matt looking and if itz bright then can see the stripes. a point to note if u wanna use this laminate is whether u wan the stripes to go horizontal or vertical...i went with horizontal and i love it...

gingar 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 OOOZ! black n white kitchen! nice! can see the reflection of the wall tiles on the laminates.. nice..confirm chop can use this laminate already. you have grey tiles.. but your kitchen doesn't look dark at all.. i didn't remove my service yard windows and doors, so at current my kitchen looks a little dark.. so a bit scared to use dark colored floor tiles.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 think there are different sizes for the space between the outlet and the walldifferent size cannot fit the existing hole premium flats come with ready laid floor tiles so cannot choose the tiles unless hdb agree to change the tiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
