thank you for your feedback. definitely will plan accordingly.

Thank you!

did you know the material before you design or you design first then only find material? 🤔

normally eye ball wall spot lights are suggested to position 250 - 300mm from the wall line for better lighting effects.

I also reckon keep the lighting away from position right above the bed mattress, so you won't have trouble with the disturbing light glare shine above you while you are resting on the bed.

Better put the lights at the border of the bed or above bed side table.

I will think of the material usage and design element at the same time as they are complement to each other on design sense

Hi ehwee forget ask u tat the bed room as ur drawing use downlight or eyeball yaa? What size or watt recommend ?

Well noted. thanks for the suggestion

Hi ehwee,

I received the following proposed lighting plan from my contractor. Please can you kindly see if this is appropriate/too much?



I guess my main concern is that do I really need 4 downlights for the small room and on the other hand, is 2 enough for the dining area?

The sleeping area I suggest using 6 inch led downlight.

If you follow having the recessed light trough then 12w should be enough unless you prefer bright ambience then can consider 18w.

If I take example on your other post change my downlight to eyeball also ok right? I’m more prefer ambient lighting in bedroom...

you will need more nos if you prefer eyeball spotlights examples 8 nos instead.

Okok let me consider first, thx you for your timr

I think the small room your contractor try to adjust and avoid the ceiling fan, it actually quite many as you said.

I will suggest go for baby ceiling fan for the small room, as it will be enough for small room light this. Then, replace the 4 downlight with 2 track light and 1 downlight at door side will do.

same as dining, can just add another track lights there to easily brighten up the space.

Cheers !

Hi ehwee,

I'm trying to figure out how to best place a walk-in wardrobe in my master bedroom.

I'm leaning towards putting it on the marked area (12 x 6, or more like 6.5), but my questions / concerns would be:

1) Should I take up the whole space? Is it possible to have 2 rows of wardrobe side by side, with walkway in the middle? (e.g 2' wardrobe, 2.5' walkway, 2' wardrobe).

But this means I have to go thru the walk-in wardrobe to get to my bathroom. Would the hot water vapor get into the wardrobe and cause issues? Secondly, the side window will also be 'in' the wardrobe. What do you think?

2) If instead I opt to not to take up the whole space, but rather 12' X 4.5' (meaning 1 row of wardrobe, and another for walkway within wardrobe itself), therefore leaving another 2' for the 'walkway' to the master bath - does that make sense? This would mean I would not have to cover up the side window. Would the walk-in wardrobe be too narrow?

3) For either option above, where do you think the sliding door should be to get into the wardrobe?

4) Lastly, without any consideration to my earlier suggestions, can you let me know what would your original ideas be for walk-in wardrobe given the current master bedroom space and layout? If you can include the bed, study and TV that would be awesome! Feel free to go wild!

My question is specifically for the kitchen.
I think its hidden behind the exisiting wall.

I want to break down 3 feet while also adding an island of 4 feet. (in front of the fridge)
That leaves 3 feet of wall which I'll place a 37cm deep high cabinet as pantry.
And 3 feet wide entrance into the kitchen.
Is this ok?

I will convert the study room into a tiny storage room.
Hoping I can partition this with a Bar/Alcohol cabinet.
Does that make sense?

Instead of having a long 12'wardrobe right next to bedroom doorway, this is the layout I suggest.

you can put a exhausted fan inside the bathroom to minimize the mousture in the area. also can open up the windows at wardrobe area to let in fresh air into the area on and off too.

Hope this help!

Wow interesting! That layout never crossed my mind at all! Will discuss with missus. She seems quite worried about the moisture. I've no experience, so wondering if it's truly something I should look out for.

Thanks!!!

do you mind to upload a clearer house plan from your S&P as the image link you sent are not clear enough.

If you can explain more detail on what you intend to do will be better also, as I afraid might not fully understand what you intended to ask.

Cheers

if you open up your windows in the bedroom frequently normally there won't be moisture issue.

If you want to double secure, consider having plywood base wardrobe instead of melamine base, that will help too
