Choosing Furnitures/ Furnishing Part 1

Endless trips were made to IKEA, different furniture shops, furniture exhibition, electronic stores, hardware shops to look for the basic furnishing for the house. Here's a look at some of the pictures taken during the shopping process.

Shopping for the bedframe, we settled on a designer platform bedframe that comes with a side platform for seating. A really interesting concept for a bedframe.

Choosing the colours for the bedframe cover. We settled on grey on grey and due to some hiccups during the delivery process (delay after delay) the company decided to make it up to us by offering a discount of the bedframe as well as and additional set of bedframe cover. (And that we choose the purple you saw in the earlier photo.)

Saw this TV console that looks like one of those feature wall (minus the carpentry work and the permanent fixture). It has very cool compartments for hiding the speakers and wirings that you'll run when connecting up the flat screen panel be it plasma or LCD.




This is one of the dining table we saw at IKEA and feels that it fits the theme of the house. A contemporary feel for a modern home. The black colour table top accentuates that modern feel. However this what not what we settled on. The one we got is a lot better than this in terms of quality/build and feel. (And expectedly, it ain't as cheap as the IKEA price then)


2 out of the tens of coffee table we saw while shopping around. At that point in time, we were still deciding whether to put a coffee table in the living room. That was to due the fact that our sofa we got earlier was not really that common and the shape and size sort of restricted the types of the coffee table that we can get to match.

This is the other item we were looking at. A sofa bed for the guest room. Something that does not take up too much space but yet when guests come over to stay for the night the sofa can easily transform the a comfortable bed. This was taken at LOT1 Seahorse shop. Ended up not getting this sofa bed as it's actually not very big when unfolded into a bed.
