Just blowsing this 2 laminate catalog took me 2 week.... Trying to visualize how it would look in the real setup cos The tiny piece samples really don't give you the real Perspective.  Now just only narrow down the kitchen and the bedroom lami.... Now wonder what  laminate for my living room tv cabinet and shoe cabinet.

only yet to decide how my dividing partition will look.

Next stop..... Need to nail down the kitchen over lay tile and the bath room tiles. I my mind is cement finish tiles, black granite stone... 

For kitchen floor.... Either black stone finish or some wood finish.

i have no ID , so everything have to visualize in my head.... And hopefully everything fall in place.

looks like many renotalk recommended hafary ... So wil go there to check out.

one stone kill 2 bird.... head down to balastier- Hafary & Lian Seng Hin.

at Hafary.... seems they are really busy..... so I helped myself and did my own selection.

the first caught my attention is this tile... can use it as a texture wall to anchor on side the the wall

 

did a few combi

and very quickly.... a customer service came over and serve me after he finished his earlier customer.

also did kitchen floor selection

next stop wen the to other corner of the building for Lain Seng Hin

not as more customer as compare to hafary with steady flow of customer.

immediately I was served by as Sales consultant . She is nice... offer my drink, coffee, milo or water..... too bad no Me.

head up level 2 to see some example of the tile mockup.

very soon. I nail anohter 2 more choice of bath room tiles

[Tigaroo 1]

for the kitchen...

I show her a sample kitchen laminate finish... and she went took all a similar pattern tile for me to compare with the floor tile.

 

conclusion..... my advise dont have to go too many showroom....  you must set your mind on the color and theme you want.... else you will be doing wild goose chase and cant firm down your choice of tiles.

the more you see, the more confuse you are.

nice packed sample in respective brand woven bag.

Sketch of the common bathroom - dividing shower and toilet with a sliding dividing glass screen.

move the wash basin to into with the toilet while the shower is outside.

the blackcolor line on the sketch will be the darker color tiles either hafary

or lian seng hin

at the moment....still soaking into them choices.... but still prefer the lian  seng hin- left side of the tiles in the above picture.
