Generally the inside of a cabinet is white - the internal cabinet or carcass material is made from 16mm white melamine particleboard board. This is a less expensive material than laminate, but you can also get this in black and is perfect for a WIR where you might want to keep costs down. Combine it with a timber laminate as a feature, and a mirror for light reflection and it will look and function wonderfully.

" How wonderful it is online that now we can all see what amazing ppl are creating. We always have had amazing ppl making such things, but usually reserved for family keepsakes, or nanas specialty. Put down the iPhone and pick up a craft I say!" ~mldesign0401 Indeed. I'm often gobsmacked at what people can do. And it's great to see the process in pictures. I do spend a lot more time looking at others creations the actually doing something myself! One of the traps of everything shared online. I do love seeing the creations that didn't go as planned too! So funny. It's great that people have the sense of humour to still share their "failures". At the end of the day, there's more benefit in the process of creating right? At least they had a go.

practicallity wise with young kids shaggy is going to be a nightmare ..wool is good as warm in Winter..and hypoallergenic.. Harvey Norman have great rug sales sometimes 40% off just keep an eye out for them.. I don't buy wool I just buy what looks nice and is practical.. 2 of my kids have eczema and they find wool rugs rough and itchy..we used to have a wool rug at our old place..so I only buy synthetic now..

The funny thing is; if I verbally explain it to people they seem generally unsure or negative, but those same people, having seen in person say they're in love with it. Maybe its just people being conservative or scared to take risks? I am in the suburbs, but its an ensuite, and its EXTREMELY large for an ensuite (those black tiles are 600mm sqr.). I dont know if its "deco" - perhaps I dont understand what that style is (i thought 'deco' was 50s-60s style) - but I was shooting for a bathroom you might find in a high-class hotel. The master bedroom has it's own hallway - to give it the illusion that it is tucked away from the rest of the house. Clean lines, simple, luxurious. I'm trying very hard to "pull back" on it - keep the pallet simple, and try not to over-complicate it. I've kinda had to make it up in my head as I go along; there isn't much in the way of inspiration I could use to guide the way (at my budget). Even those flat, gloss black tiles were EXTREMELY difficult to source. But thanks so much for your comments guys and gals.
