Thank you roj leather and Simon for your recommendations. I like the hanging chair and the almanda creeper on the wall. This will certainly liven up the patio.

Pankaj, I just realized that initially you told us that the bathroom area was 12'-0" x 9'-0" and later you mentioned that it was 11'-8" x 8'-0". In the last floor plan, I forgot to change the bathroom with the new dimensions. Below is the floor plan with the correct dimensions for the bathroom. The bedroom is ok, I drew it 19'-2" x 12'-6". The new layout does not change the way things are placed. Everything still fit. The only difference is that the vanity is now 4'-4" long instead of 4'-8". and the toilet is closer to the shower by 1'-0". Can you give me the lengths of the walls K and L. They are the walls between the vanity and the shower area. I will send you the new layout once you give me the length of these 2 walls.

HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)

dlight76: Are these laminates "floors" or wardrobe parts (eg. you can purchase stand alone wardrobes that are made of laminate+particle board...Ikea is famous for this)? If it is flooring, there may be nothing you can do. I've had many, many painters ruin my cork floors by "cleaning" up with mineral spirits...took the finish right off of my flooring. This happens with some hardwood floors as well. This is a common complaint with paint/clean-up. Please contact the painters and ask what they used - and tell them about the problems with the laminate. There may not be a way to salvage the laminate...unless you replace it. It all depends on what the painters used and what the manufacturer states is the best option to restore shine. If the painters damaged the floor, they should be informed. Please post photos to show us what has happened. This is the best way for us to see what damage has been done.
