Not that I've got one but have heard rave reviews from those who have it... I can see merits in it particularly if it's for like a built-in laundry say in a hallway for example as you wouldn't want your washing hanging out there for all to see... but if you have a separate laundry room with a door, then I think it's either/or depending on your budget I guess (not sure of cost)... you can also achieve a similar result (which is what we're doing being in Melb too) by having wall mounted racks (that fold down when not in use) and put a heating vent in the laundry room (vent particularly good if you're planning to have a dryer coz of condensation)... good luck :)

To be honest - they are both pretty dominant for a 2.7 m stud - I like the idea of multiple hanging of similar lights. You could also purchase something less expensive and think about it until you find the perfect piece - sometimes we need to live in the zone before we see what it needs. One tip re budget - if someone walked towards you with $7000 in one hand and the light fitting in the other - which would you choose - a good temptation tester !

Depending on the tile you choose (rectified or not)- grout can get very dirty, yes it is hard and everything you drop will break and it can be cold in Winter (lovely in Summer). Timber is classic and warmer to walk on, 50% of things you drop will break (I'm being conservative- in terms of hardness there isn't a huge difference)....biggest drawback of timber is scratching- what people walk into your home, moving furniture, kids pushing toys around on floors, animal claws.

Hi there. I’m currently assessing quotes to have a 7x4 concrete pool and spa 2x2 installed in Melbourne. Roughly the same nation wide, Ballpark to get a quality job done, you should allow $90k+. We have poor access though which adds man hour cost. Might sound like a lot of $ but jump online, find some builders with gallery of previous work you like and get them to do an inspection of your site, and advise quote. So many variables to factor in: excavation access, tiling, space for filtering equipment, pool heating. I wouldn’t go near a vinyl option if it’s your long term home. Maybe a fibreglass if budget is a factor
