OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

Hire an architect to help you or find a contractor who has a design build service and who is very experienced with your type of project..... It's not a good idea on a project this large to use a chain store .... Also, make sure that whoever you hire works with your budget.

Pasting of tiles is very easy to do and used frequently in modern day practice. Few points to remember - 1. Cleaning of existing terrazzo. It should be done professionally with good quality chemicals. 2. Filling of gaps. Since terrazzo is composite material usually a 5 yr plus floor will have some undulations. They need to be scraped and filled in. 3. Pasting should be done with good quality adhesives and since you are living in the same place...care needs to be taken that after pastIng you do not disturb the floor for Atleast 30 hours. Make sure to follow the instructions on adhesive packing, they are simple n clear. 4. Take care to maintain a minimal slope towards the terrace or the toilets. Now about choice of colors - 1. NO need to think about wall color...that's something most people change every few years. 2. Thinking about furniture if it's something you don't want to change is good. 3. Pastel shades like cream, beige are easy to maintain. Gloss finish adds brightness and makes the space look larger. 4. If the house is small it is advisable to use same tile color all over. Other wise bedrooms can be in more earthy tone or laminate. Regards Reshma Sathe-Khare archeinconsultants@gmail.com
