Congratulations to all of you. Its a wonderful platform to be on and you all are doing a great Job. My favourite Design Style is 'Minimal'. I just have this strong connection with simple, subtle and elegant things. Cheers:)

Hello there, If the border of the diamond is green and inlaid marble is white that is fine; the vice-versa is great too. But to enhance the aesthetics, you need to do a diamond polish on them. Further, choose your furniture of a neutral or white accent instead of dark wood grains. Green borders are good too but try to keep them slim 3" for skirts. Any design could be bonded to any space, there's no rule for them. Just go with your imagination and choose color contrasts as you like. Whatever reference images you've selected, you should notice that the entire house is painted white as in a blank canvas. Decor and furniture go on top of that. Second, you should see the ceiling height, Since they are double height and high ceilings, it needs something to keep the space grounded and cozy. Hence the dark floors pull them down and give it an intimate arena. If you want to achieve the same feat, I would consider using mirrors and colored glasses as decor frequently and keep the interior paint scheme in white. It will do the reverse; expand the space by illusion of reflections. And you have already done that! Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar. +91-9078942136

@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point.
