I dunno, do you like this (from our recently remodeled livingroom w/open entry area? Like Kah says, the easiest place to start is from color -- at least that's what my designer wife did first.

There are lots of nice cordless lamps. What if you take the picture to a store that just sells lighting, and see if they have something similar in their catalogs? It would be expensive but maybe worth it if you love having them be the first thing you see when you come in the door.

Hello there, First things first, from the perspective of utility, the foyer is very slim and hence floating decor and furniture are recommended. You could replace the idol with a POP 3D idol and a few ledges of wood for keys and accessories. If you want a shoerack, you could place it adjacent to the window. Illumination could be done with a couple of ceiling spot lights and a mini chandelier/ pendants to welcome guests. You could accomodate a console table too by converting your shoerack into a console table. Also, the door panels should be changed and veneer panels should be pasted on both sides and polished. Wood frame color has to be changed to natural wood grain/ dark walnut. Imitation stone cladding tiles has to be removed and replaced with matt finish/ high gloss marble tiles and illuminated with pendant lights. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar.

Hi Neha, The floor plan is indeed a bit odd. I would suggest to have a living area on the left hand side of entry with TV unit on the left wall adjacent to entry. You can plan a Swing sofa on left of entry. In the niche near bedroom you can plan some decorative corner, some cabinets or cabinets with a memory corner with lots of family photographs. I would have suggested a Pooja corner but the wall is with the toilet on the other side so that wouldn't be suitable. On the right on entry plan dining area. On the wall shared with kitchen you can have a little window in the dinning. It would act as a good place for a little serving table. If you're into carpets then place a big carpet between entry and the balcony. And decorate the balcony beautifully so that on entering the home you will be greeted with a beautiful balcony view. You can also use some indoor plants on the inside of balcony door. If you need any more help you can contact me directly. Happy Decorating! Garima Arora
