Black and white...these are simple colours but combine well for a masculine environment. Today I'm writing about using black and white with just a touch of tangerine for a bachelor's pad. This client prefers warm and cozy lights for a relaxed environment.

This Living Area costs :

a. 2-way access CD cabinet - RM 810

b. To hack and replaster wall for 2-way access cabinet - RM 450

c. Plaster ceiling - Light top ( 90FR at RM18 ) - RM1,620

The Kitchen

This kitchen will use lots of black aluminium framed glass with coated glass used in between the wall and base cabinet units. The overall look will be glossy elegant black. To tone down the over-powering black, the 4-inch solid surface top shall be white.

This kitchen costs :

a. Black coated glass doors, aluminium edges, aluminium profile handles

Wall unit - RM 2,350

Base unit - RM 5,605

Tall unit - RM 2,128

b. Tap : Dorex RM 150

c. Gas lift (6 x RM30) RM 180

d. Aluminium framed frosted glass doors RM 360

e. Coated glass in between wall and base RM 1,188

f. Solid surface top - Acelite RM 3,520

g. Solid surface sink (2 x RM600) RM 1,200

The Black and White theme carries until the bedroom. An interesting idea came from the houseowner who wanted the wall-hung storage cabinet for CDs and players to be BOTH ACCESSIBLE from the living hall as well as the bedroom !

This Bedroom costs :

a. Wardrobe in HPL sliding doors, anti-jump system RM 8,185

b. Backdrop with light and 2 side shelves RM 2,600

Other costs in this project that I did not list here :

1. Costs for work that you cannot readily see from these pictures such as electrical wiring, masonry work, plumbing, installation of electrical items.

2. Fixtures and fittings such as lightings, air-conditioners, ovens, etc.

I do not list down each and every item in detail because the actual quotation runs up to 5 A4 size pages. With a rough guide to costs as provided above, it should be sufficient to help first-timers plan their renovation budgets.
