OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

hi, the idea of having a partition where proposed is definitely a big NO. As rightly pointed out by Interiorzz it falls at the entrance foyer which kills the look as soon as you enter. i would suggest swapping the drawing and the dining. if you could accessorize your balcony well and turn it into a rock garden - it would be a welcome view from your dining table - you could add a pretty hanging light above the table. the dining family lounge is 11'x18'6" as per your plan. I think thats a large space to play around with and it would give you a separate seating space which you could divide into formal and casual by using a chaise in the middle. the TV could find place on the bedroom one wall or you could turn the set up around and extend the 10'x7'10" room wall till where you have shown a partition between the dining and the drawing and put it on this wall. you could also make an entry to this room on this extended wall right next to the kitchen entry so you have uninterrupted walls in the foyer. The "L" shaped wall that results in the foyer can be treated with wallpaper or stone so its adds a feature to the foyer. hope this helps!

If your question is around kitchen slabs. Quartz is an engineered stone. Basically wastage/chips of natural quartz stone is mixed with a resin and pressed into form of slabs. Hence the name - man-made or engineered stone. In day to day language they are commonly referred to as quartz slabs. Quartz and Marbles are two common materials used for making engineered stones.
