Costs will always depend on the products you use and whether you have to pay for the labour. You can always get clever with materials! Work out the flooring cost per square metre for the wall and your labour costs if any per hour and that is a good place to start for your budget - Good Luck with your project!May 5, 2013

The ceiling was dropped as we had to work a way to get the reverse cycle air-conditioning into the best position in the room. Bringing the vents to this side of the room meant better cooling and gave us the opportunity to frame the bed. This photo makes it look bulkier than it is, most people think the bulkhead was part of the design with the bed not a functional bulkhead.June 23, 2013

It is literally any brand of paint and the white that comes straight out of the tin with no tint. Most paint companies have a pretty similar base white that they start with and as they have no tints in it they will give this effect. Good luck with your project!May 1, 2014

It doesn't matter what colour you start with as long as you work with colours and tones around it that complement it you will get this result. Pick up a tone in one of the materials you are working with and then replicate that somewhere else in the room and you have created a connector. As you can see in this image there is actually a variety of tones in it, we have picked up the tones from various items in the room and used them again. This enables you to broaden your pallet but still create a connected easy on the eye room!July 21, 2013

Thanks Pippa! The fireplace and bedside cabinets are simply made of MDF and painted! I drew up my design and I had our team build it for me. The easiest thing to do is to get a carpenter to make it up for you. It is not expensive, it is the perfect fit and it looks great! The firewood inside is a nylon string line of Driftwood, you purchase them in set lengths, in different widths and colours. I found it in a homewares store but to give you an idea i found this one (albeit shorter lengths) on ebay at http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BALINESE-DRIFTWOOD-WALL-HANGING-HOME-DECOR-BEACH-7-/181172267269 for you to start your search.

You would simply need to use the same method - glue and secret nailing. Although it will be heavy, so be sure to check you have a good solid structure to attach it to that has the correct supports behind it - Good Luck!November 4, 2013

For the best continuity it would be great if you could use the same product, although from a cost and ease of install it would be easier to use a laminate flooring. My only other thoughts would be to make sure the tile doesn't have a cold look/element to it as you want your bedroom to have a soothing warm feel. Also if you are going to use 2 different products just make sure they have elements/colours that connect them - they don't have to match exactly but they must have a connector. I hope some of these items help you work it out!August 11, 2013

Corners and edges are always tricky with laminate flooring. We have used 2 different solutions in this property. On this wall we used aluminium angle but that worked because the edge was white plasterboard. In other areas - which might be a better solution for you - we used actual timber strips which we stained to suit the colour tones in the laminate flooring. If you can pick up the right tones the timber should disappear in the overall look. Another suggestion would be to not use one vertical strip of timber perhaps break it up into the size of the planks in the laminate flooring and that will help it disappear. Good luck with your project!October 20, 2013

You can certainly keep this look with carpet in your room. The tones that i feel would work would be a light carpet like the colour of the rug in the picture or a deep warm grey. Although if you select your flooring for the wall first then match a carpet to one of the tones in that, then that will also work as you will have a connector between the two!January 12, 2014

All the mid to high quality brands these days will stay on your wall. The top quality ones will be whiter and will have better wash and wear properties.
