First you will need to decide what kind of pillar you want to hide in the room. There are many different types including metal, wood, and ceramic pillars. You will be able to choose your pillar from the many options available at your local hardware store.
The style of your living room will dictate which type is most appropriate for the space. A metal pillar would look best in a more modern or industrial style living room while a wood or ceramic pillar would fit better into a more rustic or traditional décor.
Step 2: Determine the Type of Pillar
Once you have decided which type of pillar you want to hide, it is time to choose the type of base finish. The two main options are a matte finish or a shiny surface.
Matte finishes create an earthy feel while shiny surfaces tend to be more light-reflecting. This will determine how much light is blocked by your pillar so that you can decide what effect you want to create in your room.
Lamp Units and How to Get the Perfect Light Fitting

Closet Units and How to Get the Perfect Closet Height
Closet units are designed to fit in your closet. They can be as short or tall as you need them to be and can even be customized to fit your specific needs.
There are a few factors that determine the height of the closet unit. The most important is the height of the ceiling, which is typically 8 feet high.
If you have a low ceiling, you may need a taller unit. If your closet has an attic above it, you will also want a taller unit so that it doesn’t block access to anything in the attic.
To find out how tall your closet needs to be measure from floor to ceiling and then add 8 inches for every foot of that measurement.
For example, if your room is 8 feet wide by 12 feet long and has an 8-foot ceiling with an 18-inch overhang on each side, then you’ll need a 24-inch tall closet unit.
