First timer, just got keys to hdb apt

[Mustank]

 

robot vacuum quite useless. save the cash bro.

 

dont recommend white walls. very easy dirty. from personal experience.

 

painting by contractor abt 1.5k for 5rm flat. inclusive paint.

 

i hired 3x blangra at $50 per day. and just buy the paint etc myself. total less than $500.

 

the rest of house items can get at warehouse sale. usually end of yr alot. I got at HN warehouse sale. but of course not latest models lah. but good enough.

 

 

i like the blangra part!!!

ceiling white

walls, light or white color

wall paper faster

The orleng wall look like the Nippon momento "wallpaper" paint.

 

White/light colour and bright wall...not so kick. I'd prefer more contrast, darker colours or darker feature wall.

60" TV? I know its tempting but HDB put 60" like a bit too huge? It is like almost occupying the whole wall and nowadays the living room so small.

 

Maybe can cut that part of the cost and use it on something else. if i'm you, i get smaller TV and a better aircon.

actually not really.. we been to a few units, all using below 60'.. it really looks cartoon..

 

my sofa is 2.1m long..

the wall behind sofa is 2.5m

 

for a 60', the dimension is 1358 x 786 x 67.2, actually can bigger is better..

 

i foresee, big tv is the next big thing to have at home..

plus our walls are pretty empty.. no console.. as everything is mount onto..

no choice..

 

beggers cannot be chooser..

if you want to save money, be your main con is the best..

identify the big spending tickets and work on it..

 

i agreed with you, planning ahead do helps a lot..

 

my wedding is dec end.. we already wasted 3 weeks by just talking and no action..

only this week, got actions..

hopefully, by next week, things should come to an end and start installing and painting

haha, that's exaggerating..

 

the nearest block is around 600m... i doubt with the reflective solar film.. they can see anything..

not exaggerating leh.. if you didn't have the reflective solar film, sure can see..

 

nowadays flat so close to each other..

 

if you think 60" will be the "in" thing in future, why not buy then? Afterall, electronics are not something you invest early on. let the price drop in the coming yrs then buy again also good mah.

 

I think 60" really a bit over kill. just my opinion :)

[Myxilplix]

Mine is 46" niah but I stay pigeonhole with short viewing distance. I still feel inadequate

 

But my sofa 2.5m along the longest length

[Kurty]

actually my viewing distance is 3.6m, taking into consideration of sofa, i still got around 3m..

i did a search, 60' is still acceptable.

 

 

 

The best viewing distance depends on the screen size.
Please refer to the table below for recommended viewing distance

TV Size Viewing Distance Range

22 inch Approx. 80cm

26 inch 1 metre

32 inch 1.2 metres

40 inch 1.5 metres

46 inch 1.7 metres

50 inch 1.9 metres

55 inch 2.1 metres

65 inch 2.4 metres

84 inch (4K TV) 1.6 metres

 

i'm just waiting for the right price to come in..

 

hey, the topic is about wall colors.. not tv..
