That sounds like a good method (above). My husband also looked into this so we can hang our very large Navajo rug on the wall. His researched method is to adhere wide strips of Velcro (the non-fuzzy one) to three 50mm wide aluminium bars which he will then attach horizontally to wall (to studs) using screws. Then we attach the rug to the Velcro'd bars. The rug is supposed to attach perfectly to the Velcro, in effect acting as the 'fuzzy' part to the non-fuzzy Velcro. We plan to do the project tomorrow, so hopeful this method will work well. Best wishes, Sandra!

I'm what I consider a reasonable landlady and unless the paintwork is shabby, I don't allow the tenants to paint the walls, as every tenant wants something different and they are not professional painters, so it can be messy, but no harm in asking. I would hang as many things as possible on that wall to make a feature of it. ie. a couple of large paintings in your preferred colours, mirrors, photographs and anything else to fill the wall as the TV unit is definitely limiting and you will be looking at that wall every day.

Your renovations are well underway, so after seeing the small floor plan and that the vanity is on an internal wall and you apparently still want the Shaving Cabinet. Having cavity brick walls I would get your brickie to remove a section of the brick wall so that the shaving cabinet can be recessed back into the cavity, this will overcome any concerns you have about bumping your head, this opening can then be patched along with other walls. I would take all of your photos and measurements to someone like Reece to pick a hand basin to fit,, I would also keep in mind that if say the width of the vanity is around 900 the shaving cabinet would match that width and you would end up with say 2 x 450 mirrored doors, which puts the mirror join in the middle and in your face when using the vanity. cheers

Can I also say, that what you would like to do does not seem a good option from a health and safety perspective. There are too many things that could go wrong without a professional to install this for you. And you need a steel beam. A wood beam will get weather damage and may break. And how would you attach it to the roof beams if you didn’t even know how to locate the beams........................A freestanding egg chair would be a wiser choice.
