I would not mix LED and CFL they have different looks and LED s are much cheaper to run. You can find a fixture you like and switch out most with LEDs, we have been slowly changing all of our halogen lighting to LEDs now that the LEDs come in higher wattages. We have 70 halogen lights in our house so I am doing 12 at a time, love the change. I like the fact that you can have a lot more lights off the same circuit too.

will you have more cabinets instead of the puja? if the view from the windows is nice, i'd put the sink under a window, so you have something to look at when washing dishes/cleaning foodstuffs. as for arranging furniture, the way they have it, they must think you have a huge tv, to need to be so far back from it. my goodness. besides, the couch blocks the balcony! i'd turn that arrangement so that the tv is on the wall with the loveseat, but scooted away from the balcony door, and then arrange the furniture accordingly, making sure there's room to get to the balcony. turning the dining table 90° will give more chair room.

asrabanu, the image did not come through as Houzz requires specific image formats for posting. Perhaps you can save the image as a .jpg for uploading. In my own experience, Home Depot (in Canada) does not charge for kitchen drawings. however, I am not comfortable saying "go get work done for free and then hire somebody else". What's more, I have found that you can purchase a Home Depot kitchen at far less cost than through specialty kitchen suppliers. But, as Marina say, your best bet--even if working with Home Depot or its equivalent--is to find a designer that can help you get the most out of the expenditures you make. There are many variables, but in a recent kitchen, we saved 25000+ over an equivalent designer kitchen with a good design concept that could be created out of lesser cost pieces, assembled to look custom. And, if going with any kind of box or contract-build type supplier, remember to build in time to fix errors and expect to use both the installer and a carpenter to achieve the custom look.

Hello, You can swap the dining and living setup . But having a temple in the current dining area would pose you another challenge art to space. IMO, current setup seems good enough. You can have a temple on the adjacent wall to main door. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore
