What Houzz contributors are saying:

What sizes do televisions come in? Screens range from around 24 inches (suitable for a caravan) to around 88 inches (for a large-scale, home-entertainment experience).

Consider door materialsWhen it comes to door materials, the main options are metal, glass, mirror, timber and MDF. Make your selection based on style (for example, glass doors to go in a Hamptons-style kitchen) or function (for example, perforated metal doors for air flow around electronics). 11 Ways to Personalise Your Home With Customised Products

Statement wallCreate instant impact with a bespoke timber wall displaying a bold herringbone pattern. Against a pared-back palette of calming hues, the differing timber tones are highlighted throughout the dramatic zigzags, pulling the focus to the entertainment wall and evoking a sense of warmth.

Built-in appliancesFor a seamless look, and to save the possible clunkiness of placing items into a space, consider recessing a television and fireplace into a custom-built wall.

This Melbourne living room is completely free of adornment, apart from a couple of pot plants and a painting. It doesn’t need anything else because of the pattern and natural grains in the timber cabinetry and coffee table. Less is more when you have a stand-out feature upon which to rest your weary eyes.

Tone it down a bitPare back material palettes and use textural or colourful finishes in a restrained way. TIP: Using tones of grey, white and natural materials such as timber are good choices when it comes to coming up with a refined, minimalist colour palette.YOUR SAYDo you love the minimalist look or is it too restrained for you?
