If you want to let in more natural light, I suggest either solar shades or sheer shades. Both let in plenty of natural light without sacrificing privacy. Here are examples of both: http://www.blindsgalore.com/solar-screens http://www.blindsgalore.com/sheer-shades

Hello Abhinav, It would depend upon your requirements from the area. It could be used made as a Pooja room, Study room, Utility and Storage, Playroom or a Bar cum entertainment area. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Hello Bikash, 5x3 pooja room is not a big one. However, it will be a good idea to do the civil changes you mentioned.You will get additional space that ways . What do you plan to do with that new space. We see a beam in that area, keep that in mind before you proceed with the changes. Wall mounted pooja unit is doable in multiple areas as per the plan. Do you have the directions mentioned in the floor plan to suggest it as per Vaastu. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Its just really messy right now. Too many colours and clashing prints. Is that Puja unit lime green? Or does it just appear that way because of lighting? Either way, it stands out like one more distraction. Pick one base colour add and add prints that go with that base. That TV unit HAS to go. So do that black metal coffee table and the carpet. I would suggest you go with a simple geometric print in the carpet. But apart from these obvious design gaffes, the structure has distinct possibilities, if you do a classic English style. The railing above adds some interest
