yvonne, yes i guess we can use it in the dining. The dinining room is small and doesnt have any windows. the kitchen has a lot of natural light that will come across to the dining due to the open kitchen plan. We will be buying new furniture for the dining. We could buy a glass top table with wood chairs / wood table with wood chairs. The room will be painted offwhite similar color as the base of this fabric. All walls will be painted the same color by the builder, Afer taking possession of the house we can repaint it where needed for accent wall etc. Its an appartment, we live in India.

Here's an idea for a small bar in a corner that you could close off with beautiful draperies. The second photo shows a pretty bar cart which could hold the necessary items, and the third photo is of a simpler butler's tray.

Yes, JudyG that's exactly the way people were using the taller table. Sort of a café look, or casual bar setting. One home had a beautiful huge kitchen all done in white with dark wood floors and RH style fixtures and hardware. Where you would normally think would be a traditional dining room, they had made it up with a large high table and 6 barstools. It almost looked like an extension of the island. Another one was in a very open and light kitchen. It was smaller and where you might think of putting a breakfast nook they had a round café-style table with four barstools. I liked it because it gave a more casual appearance. If people were sitting at them, they were on the same level as those working in the kitchen. Almost like a bar at the island for that effect, but with some separation.

Hi Sandeep, If you plan to give the pooja area in the corner that you have marked above it will be facing south, which is not suggested as per vastu shastra. For any pooja area, the idol or photograph should not face the south. Instead, you may shift the refrigerator in the kitchen and move the storage/console/crockery unit closer to the kitchen door. This will create an area in the corner where you may provide the pooja room (as marked with the green outline). In this case you can use the following concepts to design the pooja section : All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
