This is a fabulous room. It oozes a bygone charm that you would lose by adding false ceilings and tube lights. Please don't! Go all out to preserve this magnificent floor and the beautiful furniture. That mirror is superb, as is the old painting. Keep the wall colour as is and change the upholstery after polishing and keeping the beautiful wooden furniture. The upholstery is mismatchedat present. But the different styled armchairs look very comfortable. Keep them. No modern furniture will give you such comfort. When you re upholster, refrain from choosing firm foam and such nonsense. It is far better to have good quality down or cotton, which moulds to the body shape. Invest in a high quality traditional patterned Persian or Kashmiri carpet for a restrained stroke of colour. Your upholstery should pick up colours from this carpet. So should the curtains. Please never even consider vinyl blinds, horizontal and vertical. If you tamper with this room and remodel it to be 'modern'- you will lose a treasure.

Hello there, Since you have put on a majority of white in furniture, you need to complement the brightness though a more subtle and warm texture. Anything with wooden, leather, dark, tan, browns ; even solids like lemon yellow, olive greens go well . Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Hi Rishab, You can avoid creating 4" false ceiling and create 1.5 / 2" false ceilings just to let the wires hide and run within the false ceiling. I will not recommend conduits or exposee ceiling unless you wish to do a rustic interior design. You can go for Surface mounted lights and track lights. They are beautiful and are available in different shapes and sizes too.

Hi there! Here's our professional opinion of your situation: 1. In your case, having the sink outside is a good solution because of spatial constraints. Having the sink outside is desirable because it covers the unpleasing sights and keeps the odor at bay. 2. Providing seating in a kitchen is a purely subjective choice. If required, look at compact, concealed options for minimal disruption in the workflow. Another suggestion that we would like to share with you is shifting your door for entry to the kitchen in the upper right corner, if possible considering the adjoining space. Not only would it give you a longer slab counter, it would also create a corner for you to include your seating. Please feel free to contact us for more information!
