I'd open it above like a 'pass-through' and bring the table out in front of it with a bench under the opening.

Hi Kiran, Before you place any furniture here, you should rethink the existing layout. I would eliminate the 3 internal walls around the puja room, and convert the areas of the living, puja, dining and kitchen, into a singular larger space. This is simply for better air circulation and overall aesthetics of the flat - to make it feel larger. You will now have an open kitchen - which can be shut by either a glass sliding folding partition, or with a half wall with a breakfast bar. You can use furniture smartly to create privacy for individual areas. You can also change the locations of the doors to the bedrooms, by not having them from the dining space, but from the passage outside the bathrooms; so that a larger table right in the centre with a dining credenza by one of the walls, thereby making the dining space a bit enclosed and not accessible from 3 sides. To answer your main question, you can have the television on the common wall between the living and bathroom (5'x8'); an L-shaped sofa can be placed along the same wall as the entrance door. Hope this helps! G

Hi Option 1 As suggested by Cornerstone above. This way the TV will be visible from dining too Option 2 Move TV to the corner of the entrance wall, next to the window, placed at 45 degree angle. The L shaped sofa can then go to the diagonally opposite corner. The wall can be a see through book shelf/crockery shelf. This is better as the visitors have some inviting empty space as soon as they walk in instead of a sofa. Option 3 TV in current position, but instead of the TV being mounted on wall, perhaps have an open shelf (like below)

My suggestions: - Go for parallel counter units as shown in picture (below) - Dark blue: fridge, light blue sink - Opp. to fridge, left of hob, you may go for a tall unit (7' tall x 2' wide unit, to maximize storage space)... the remaining 7' width in room (I see room width is 9'4", 2' goes for tall unit, assume 4" wastage)... get 75cm or 60cm hob, this is will still give 2'+ area on either side of hob as 'work area', which is sufficient - I would suggest against U space kitchen, as it will create two corners, and you will be left cramped for 'work area' around hob and sink. Corners pose a challenge for effective usage of storage as well. Might compel you to buy expensive corner units - if you feel you have less storage, either go for loft, or make that tall unit 7'6" and have overhead (above counter units) as 2'6" instead of standard 2' - If you go for loft, you may make the loft U shape (if you have an interior designer, ask them to render it, to see whether you like it aesthetically) All the best, Gopi
