Adding taupe or beige to the walls, in most hues, would blend in too much with the draperies. I love the lavender in the bedding. It would pull the room together if you were to choose a grey paint that had elements of lavender or berry and silver. The color would be subtle, neutral, relaxing as well as refined. This slight shimmer will pull out the subtle nuances in the marble. As the headboard is already so interesting, it would be too busy to add anything too ornate on the wall. To open up the room and increase the light, you could hang a mirror. I would select an Art Deco style with metallic accents to continue pulling together the room. The marble is lovely, but combined with the sleek lines in the bed and bedding it creates a very smooth appearance. To create warmth, it is necessary to add additional texture. I would add a soft, plush or high pile area rug by the bed. How nice would it be to step out of bed on to that?

The sheer curtains looks good. The thick curtains can be changed into a plain one (neutral grey maybe) instead of a patterned one as it looks crowded. The tv can be wall mounted. Remove the decorative items kept on the tv unit. Reposition the black loveseat to near the sofa at an angled position. The cushions on the sofa needs some colors. Maybe you can match the colour of the cushions/throws to a painting . Painting can be hung on the wall above the sofa.

Thanks for your input Nitin. Much appreciated. If you could help me out with: 1. What material should one use for overhead cabinets & for base cabinets? Anywhere I can look online for colour combinations? 2. What company shelves/ pantry etc to use? Intend using SS. Have heard of Hettich, etc, but which of them is value for money? 3. What chimney would you suggest? Ducted or ductless?? Any recommendations for vendors ? 4. How effective are graphite sinks or are steel ones better? 5. Flooring - glossy to match with dining room as this is an open kitchen or matt finish ceramic tiles? Wud prefer something that dries faster with less mess. Thanks a ton.
