Ideas how to mount a TV higher than normal without furniture below for Decoder storage?

I might be wrong but I've used Jali once a few years ago and mine was mdf as i recall it was a nightmare to paint! I also thought mdf was more stable than wood? TBH your quote sounds really good, as long as it's constructed properly I can't see it being an issue, I'd speak to your carpenter about any concerns. can you not build a stud frame for the chimney breast and use dry lining instead of mdf (although someone told me a while ago you'd never know it was mdf, whether that's true I don't know!)

You should install the WC pan first, and then cut the tiles around it. Depending on how thick the tiles are, you might need to install a packing sheet of moisture resistant MDF or similar so that the WC lid stays up - just make sure the sheet is small enough to be hidden behind the pan. Good luck!

Hi, Congratulations on your new home, what a lovely feature to the lounge. A few other add-on's to the already excellent advice from the Houzz community: - See below image (very rustic, but just to demonstrate how they have elaborated and framed the whole of the wall by using a tile and wood mix with decorative items like pictures e.t.c. to catch the eyeline and add to the overall rustic theme, with a clever touch of pink velvet to add warmth to the space. - Again the use of a wooden frame to section off the fireplace feature and a contrasting colour themed wall to showcase it all! - Note how in the below image, you can see on the left the textured wallpaper which balances the wood panelling and adds an extra dimension to the modern design. -Interesting use of texture pattern play on the step and surrounding wall tile design Hope all goes well with the move, enjoy your new home Warmest and best wishes Team SPEAK
