It looks as if you could add one side lite in the space with the door; I would do it in frosted glass for privacy. See attached photo...

Hi, here are some potential ideas!... sounds like you have an exciting project! I cannot wait to see the sandstone sculptures and walkway you create. 1. straight pathway with stones [houzz=] 2. retangular pathway with stones [houzz=] 3. staggered pathway with stones [houzz=] 4. squared offline pathway with square walkway pads [houzz=] This is from and idea book I created on my page. See more in Landscape Ideas, my page.

Thanks for your advice. Please note that One longer side of the "L" portion is used to pass through, but the shorter side of the "L" portion does not open up so if need be i can put something. there is a french window which is fixed and cannot be opened up on the shorter side. that side is only useful to get some light in the house. My living room is in white and grey combination. Do u want me to have a rug in the same combination or anything else would be fine. Would appreciate if you can suggest a kind of vase that would go with it. My theme is modern style in the house. I was initially thinking something like the attached picture. pls. confirm ur view on it.

Hi Ravi. We would need more information about what you like (more pics in your idea books would help) to be specific, but I think the key to the palatial look is rich, varied texture and light reflections. Think of velvet cushions, silky curtains, a deep-pile rug (not shag) with a sheen. Where I am, in South Africa. Plascon has a wonderful suede paint which could bring deep, luxurious feeling to the walls. Some wallpapers can do the same thing. Be judicious with ornate features and such things as gilding, but by all means use them. I wouldn't go overboard on gilded furniture, but a single chair with restrained gilding might be lovely, or a gilded lamp. Cut-glass vases placed to catch the light from the windows. And I wouldn't choose more than one big ornate item. You might start with a traditional rug or a big tapestry. Not both. Another really important aspect is the effect of the lighting in the evening -- and I think you could certainly consider a smallish chandelier. But the starting point is to search Houzz and Google images for rooms that have the feeling you like, and then try to work out what you like about them. Then perhaps post another dilemma as you get to the point where you can tell us more but want advice on specific things.
