Hi Nuwood is an company name, u need to ask him is it Marine or Commercial ply. If its marine - Is it BWR or BWP. However commercial ply has no such terminology and need to be MR Grade if u insist.

Just attaching some pictures to support my suggestions mentioned above for your reference.. you can close the shelves with ply and do a full ply panelling behind the bed like in this picture or you could give the wall a fresh coat of paint and hang two huge paintings behind the bed as shown in the above picture. This would also add a feature to the room. or you could border the shelves on 3 sides with wood - if you want to go rustic or fix ply and cover it with veneer or laminate - whatever you prefer. next you could remove the existing headboard.. probably chip the walls on either side by 2-3" so that the bed fits inside and finish the alcove with fabric/leather/leatherite - whatever you prefer. This would entail some chipping and plastering - so maybe this can be your last option unless you really like something like this and are open to doing this much work behind the concept - since you mentioned minimum repair work. or you could shut off the shelves with ply and take an interesting wallpaper behind the bed - stripes, print, texture - anything. or you could shut off the shelves, give the wall a fresh coat of paint and hang individual pictures on the wall. hope this helps!

Thanks for your input Nitin. Much appreciated. If you could help me out with: 1. What material should one use for overhead cabinets & for base cabinets? Anywhere I can look online for colour combinations? 2. What company shelves/ pantry etc to use? Intend using SS. Have heard of Hettich, etc, but which of them is value for money? 3. What chimney would you suggest? Ducted or ductless?? Any recommendations for vendors ? 4. How effective are graphite sinks or are steel ones better? 5. Flooring - glossy to match with dining room as this is an open kitchen or matt finish ceramic tiles? Wud prefer something that dries faster with less mess. Thanks a ton.
