I think the answer to your question depends where you are located combined with what are the traditional building methods of the area and available skill. In my part of the world, the San Francisco Bay Area, seeing brick buildings is unusual as it can be costly to make them seismically safe. If one happens to have a real brick wall or walls, it can be nice to expose and clean it to make it a feature as it is seen infrequently. Some of the brick construction here is done as a veneer over wood framing. If detailed property it can be convincing, if not, it can just look like it is a thin veneer just pasted on another wall. Seismic concerns aside, brick construction can be seen as durable and long lasting. The thickness and weight of brick adds to that perception.

Manvisudan, I'm not sure what you mean. The walls above the sofa? If so, I think your should go with the richness of Indian art -- something like this wall hanging would be beautiful. I'd hang it horizontally. Look around for something that picks up both the lavender colour of the walls and the red of the carpet. It could be a rug, or a printed or painted cloth. Mount it on a rod and hang it with the lower edge about 18 inches or less above the sofa. (India is probably on decimal? 45 centimetres or less. Whatever feels comfortable to you.) Otherwise, look for those wonderful wooden wall art carvings produced in India and other countries in the east . You could hang one big one, or three small ones in a row.

As far as spacing between the pavers, you want a minimum of 3mm or ⅛ an inch, but the ideal spacing really depends on the whole space and how you want to fill the space between pavers. If you are thinking about pea gravel or sand, you probably want less space between to help keep your costs down and make it easier to power wash. If you are looking to add greenery then more space between the pavers gives you more green, creating a more natural-looking space. If you do decide to go the gravel route, you can apply a clear coat of something like gravel-lok. It acts like glue, keeping the gravel in place. It may not be able to take the full force of a power washing, but it will certainly hold the gravel in place better than not having gravel-lok. If you do want to go for a green option, grass could work, You could also look into small succulents, moss, or clover. With any green option, you will have a little more maintenance in the form of trimming and watering, but the look is stunning! You absolutely can put grass between the pavers. It will actually help stabilize and hold the pavers not move them. (if installed correctly) I would space it 4” apart and use netfin or a similar subsurface drip line to water the grass underneath the soil. This look is probably my favorite but you could also use a crushed aggregate in between too. Gravel is a terrible idea because it doesn’t stay in place. Here are some ideas from our projects of all kinds of paver designs:

Rohanth, See if this inspires you.. alongwith some of the ideas suggested by RMs above. If its feasible please do away with the grills and replace them with tempered glass. You may have to play with lighting to enhance this area. You can call us ..its easier to explain over a call . Thanks Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.
