panjetty: I think the color a house should blend into the neighborhood homes. The exterior paint on a home should not stick out like a sore thumb. If a person lives in a San Francisco neighborhood where the houses are called painted ladies, you might paint your home purple and that purple would blend in for that particular neighborhood (photo below). Some neighborhoods (gated communities) dictate to the home owner what color house is acceptable, so the gated community neighborhoods always remain beautiful & cohesive. I do not disagree with you, but I always look around the neighborhood before I have my houses painted and I appreciate my neighbors who also look around the neighborhood and choose colors that blend in and do not "make a statement".

Hi Cynthia, thanks for your comment. I still haven't decided about lighting. First, I'm trying to get as much natural light as possible. If there are still some dark corners left, then I'm planing to use light on those areas.

that is what i have added if you can see the pic above.. want some suggestions on partition that i can use between dining and sitting

The reference image wall color looks like Song of Nature 8401 or Pineview 8400 from Asian. Combine this with Nickel Grey 6126 and you should be good to go. Just paint the recess in accent color and the rest in grey. For getting the sense of color in the actual setup, we suggest you get a big swatch done and look at it in daylight and then in the evening with the warm lights on. The look will change substantially in both cases. You will be able to decide better.
