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.

Hi Ni, I just thought of something....did you say you planned to do the stencil motifs on the window wall? If so, I am thinking they will be mostly hidden by the curtains. I wonder if it might be better to stencil the long wall that is on the right side of the room when looking toward the window. I could see this being a pretty backdrop to the prayer box (I think that’s what you called it?) and your wood cuttings. Then maybe the opposite wall (the one with the kitchen doorway) could hold a large piece of art?

I had purchased hafele hob 10 months back... I got it serviced 6 times... Now i requested for replacement with new one... Still they have not attended my request...

For your office , you can go for the right side second entry from the main entrance of your house. This way you can make a full glass, sound proof, no disturbance and a comfortable in house office . you can have one more entry from inside for the easy accessibility for the personal use. In your dining area,there's a door leading to the balcony. Make it a 3 track glass door for the good daylight and a natural view from your hall also. In the kitchen, make your washing area of the size 10'8"x 4' . This way you get two perfect rectangle for a perfect planning for the kitchen as well as the washing area for utensils and washing machine.
