the back wall panels look like ikea besta doors. the hanging cabinet could also be besta boxes, but with customized doors. the console in front of it, you could get a similar look by using a malm console table and cutting it to height. from there you'd want to use a couple of besta cabinets to create the closed off storage. the low bench could be made with plywood and then stained or painted to match the finish of the malm/besta combo you choose. besta cabinets :: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/living_room/11794/ malm console table :: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80196480/

I would suggest you to go for either actual stone cladding or ceramic wall tiles. Natural stone cladding provides a rich look to your walls and last comparatively longer than wallpaper. Although initial cost might appear to high but in the long run, it is the cost-effective solution for your walls as it requires very low-maintenance. Going for wallpaper would not be a very nice option especially if you are looking for something long-lasting. They not only get damaged easily because of moisture or other factors but would also stain your wall when they come out. Ceramic tiles is also a nice option to go for. You can get a huge variety in terms of size, colour, pattern etc. If you are looking for not-so-expensive option then ceramic mosaic tiles is the viable option. However, you should know that ceramic tiles take quite a long time to warm up during winters and cool down during summers. Wooden Planks would make your interior look elegant but it is very susceptible to temperature change and can easily get damaged with water. Also it might not go too well with modern architecture. Hope this helps. Thanks & Regards Kapil Surana

Hello there, You could start with concealing the concrete niche as it is with prelam boards and laminated plywood on the sides only. This will preserve the slabs as well. You could paste laminated plywood on existing concrete walls as well. This would be incredibly cost effective and wouldn't need for demolition etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Jt Kr, Either the technician is making a weird suggestion or you may have misunderstood his suggestion. If the Chimney is installed 360 mm away from the wall the entire hob unit projects out by 360 MM. It would technically make it difficult for any taller person to cook. As it will be brushing against their heads. The suction may be impacted. What he may be suggesting instead (please recheck) is that don't mount it on the wall rather some models can be installed on the ceiling. He may be referring to that installation on the beam. (Such models are called island hobs) If you have the floor plan and 2 D elevation measurements we can try recommending alternatives. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
