Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

At first glance I think that if you are going for a modern look, I would suggest nesting tables instead of a coffee table to create interest. Here are a few ideas for you: http://deciture.com/the-amazing-set-of-3-wood-nesting-table/ http://deciture.com/gilbert-galvanized-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ http://deciture.com/flouressa-mirror-top-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ http://deciture.com/brighton-mirror-top-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ Hope this helps you!

Many thanks for your valuable comments. 1. My intention of raised cabinets was to clean it daily, as cabinets that touch floor accumulate lot of dust and food particles below. If we rule out steel legs, any inputs on raised floor only of cabinet area and then cabinets?(Just like plinth in modular cabinets- but this will be permanent and of tiles) I have not seen such structure anywhere, so curious if it will work. Otherwise I will go with traditional ones. 2. Moving pooja out of kitchen is very difficult as other rooms are just enough for their function. Currently a small Mandir is attached on wall where Fridge is shown in layout. I thought the new area could be little extra for all pooja related things. Will like to know the reason of your recommendation, is it odd in whole design, or not suitable in area .. or anything else? How about moving it to corner of dining area?

Coffee tables are the focal point of your living room. Whether its a small family gathering or a house party, everyone will end up using it – eventually! Styling this standalone piece of furniture can really help you create an impeccable surface that every guest appreciates. Stuck on how to style your coffee table? Here are some steps to follow and you’ll nail it like a pro. Define your style Choose a theme that matches the overall decor style of your house. It can be contemporary, modern, vintage, eclectic, bohemian or any other. Use a tray, bowl or a stylish plate You coffee table can’t look too pristine or too cluttered that there’s no space left for mail, documents or afternoon tea. Instead, you want to go for a beautiful yet practical aesthetic. Trays are excellent way to make a stack look clean and confined. Use rule of three to group items For decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. The easiest way to use rule of three is by creating three stacks or grouping three different items together. Make a personal design statement We tend to save objects like family memories and souvenirs for bookshelves or console tables. Items like a family heirloom piece, your DIY project or even a memento from a memorable trip can have more impact when placed on a coffee table, where people congregate. Don’t be afraid of throwing in a few unexpected personal items – especially ones with interesting backstories. Living element Plants are a great way to add some nature to your interior decor, and coffee tables are one of the best places to show them off. Add a dash of green and contemporary style to your tabletop with some of these plants (or any other) – succulents jade plant money plant aloe cactus moss baby rubber plant spider plant string of pearls Play with heights One mistake people often make with their coffee table is displaying too many objects of the same height. Play with the heights and scale of objects to give structure to your composition and make it more dynamic. It also adds visual interest. Stack books Books make for excellent decor subjects. Each has something awesome and unique about it. It’s definitely something to draw inspiration from. Using books as raises for knick knacks is actually visually pleasing and organized. The book stack also adds height to the display. Lastly, they add character and a personal touch. Coffee table styling is a bit of an art. Above all else, consider how you use your coffee table before you choose how to style it. A table may be expertly styled but it wont be functional if it doesn’t serve the purpose that its owner has in mind. P.S. – Hey people. If you find this useful then do like, comment and share.
