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 ;-)

I would say a single sofa is most comfortable for sitting and It can transform the interior of our home. Recently I had ordered one single sofa from Oriental Creativity at a very good price. You can check this design. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I think the L shape sofa will look good, with the corner of L placed where you have the Ganesha Idol. you can also place a bench on the opposite side with some colorful cushions on it. It will give you a contrast look and a antique touch to the hall. You can place the Idol elsewhere in the hall, may be just opposite the door ttowards the call. so that whoever enters from that door feels nice/good. I have selected light colors for your hall because your hall has dark color wood work and its making the hall dark. Light color makes your room more bright as you have lot of sunshine coming from the door and windows . I hope this helps. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=4P6z03v6&id=A25E4EEE0B66770D19E09A1F431B9BA642F3D345&thid=OIP.4P6z03v6cAWvmAYfClS2WAEsCc&q=l+shaped+sofas+designs&simid=608018563129935084&selectedIndex=107
