By placing the tv on the longest wall on left and placing the couch parallel facing the tv you may have room on the back of the couch to put a long table or preferably a chest with drawers..this would add always needed extra storage at the handy location at the bottom of the steps..this concept creates little rooms within a room and enhances the spaciousness of the open concept hall

Thanks, for the reply. Yes, I am hoping to feature the mdf on the wall. I am not sure like which one to choose and how to make it look better. I want to make use of the entire wall with cabinets. But, I am open to other options also. There is also a pillar next to the wall on the left side. I also want to make use of the space between pillar and wall (like glass cabinets). Needs your inputs, if you can share some images, that will be great.

the board is installed the wrong way to start with. it should be horizontal to achieve the rustic look. why do you need a painter for such a small job? try to remove the existing finish with mineral spirits or a heat gun. apply a coat of white acrylic primer and sand with 300 grit paper once dry. clean with vacuum. apply a coat of dark grey emulsion. dry. then spray a coat of white automotive laquer very lightly. usually thus dries quick in 30 minutes. very carefully sand with 400 grit on the grains and you will now have the desired finish. cost of materials approx 1000rs.

Simplest option is to have a small one with suitable curtains next to the door entry...pray facing east...though it will still be in the south east quadrant. Have you given a thought to swapping the positions of Sofa and TV cabinet ...seem same dimensions ? Extend the TV cabinet right up to the door...build in the pooja place...east wall...pray facing east. Another great option that can be planned with appropriate changes is in the balcony on the right wall...pray facing east... Yet another option is to redesign/rework the balcony sliding door and have a small pooja place inside against the present balcony sliding door....pray facing north east. The sliding door seems to be a good 8 feet. Even if you have it say 2’ wide in the centre, there would be ample space to move/slide the doors on either side... Having one in the north east bedroom east wall can also be an option...keep it covered when not praying. Options galore... Look at what suits your lifestyle the best. All the best. 🙏🏻
