What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

Hello KK, White and Brick Red combination may also look good besides the above suggestion. Ultima Protek is better and more lasting paint. Make sure you follow the painting instructions it should last for 8-10 years. It requires approx 4-5 coats of different dilutions and drying time of 6 hours between coats and avoid rainy seasons for painting. All good painters are busy during diwali so better get it done before or after it. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs.

that is what i have added if you can see the pic above.. want some suggestions on partition that i can use between dining and sitting

Hi, The exterior of my home is brick cladded (real, clay brick). The living room walls are also brick cladded (3 sides of the wall). What types of paints/finishes can be applied to accentuate the brick wall feeling? I just want to elevate the naturalness of the brick, to give a fresh look, but at the same time do not want the walls to look too red or artificial. Leaving the walls as they are is not an option, as they look unkempt and uneven in color. Appreciate detailed suggestions (including the paint brands, color codes etc). Thanks,
