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.

We installed this gas log fire in our B & B which has been very well received. We wanted to provide a warm and cosy environment for our winter guests. The wooden shelf above is beautiful wood, not sure what type and there are two cupboards either side, one for DVD's games and CD's and the other houses the technology. The flue is on the outside wall behind the fire place. It is very efficient and effective. It warms the whole apartment including a separate bedroom and kitchen. I would highly recommend this type of heater which is thermostatically controlled and so easy for our guests to use with a remote control.

if you want a bench seat with a lift up lid for storage a handyman or carpenter or kitchen or joiner/cabinetmaker could easily make something suitable..if you also want a cushioned seat ask an upholsteror about the seat (and backrests?)..The best person for the job will be the one that offers the best options to suit and a price you're happy to pay. Based on work we've had done around our home i would expect labour and materials for this job to be minimum $1000 but a good handyman could easily make something out of scraps for much less and it could also be useful to research suitable freestanding bench seats in furniture that might be cheaper and more flexible to use and at least give you some ideas for the look you prefer

I agree with MB Design & Drafting. Take a look at the Ikea range. They have an app to help you figure out the floorplan/layout that you like and then it creates a shopping list... all very handy. http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_AU/rooms_ideas/planner_pax3d/index.html
