What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

just sharing the colors of the furniture the grey is going to be the body of the sofa and back cushions...the purple is the color of two small cushions which will be on the sofa.. what curtains do I think will go with these colors

Hello KK, White and Brick Red combination may also look good besides the above suggestion. Ultima Protek is better and more lasting paint. Make sure you follow the painting instructions it should last for 8-10 years. It requires approx 4-5 coats of different dilutions and drying time of 6 hours between coats and avoid rainy seasons for painting. All good painters are busy during diwali so better get it done before or after it. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs.

Hello Dopcam, Wall cabinets uptil ceiling will usually look bulky. Upper heights cabinets are not reachable for day to day use. The stuff stored there would gather dust and be visible when the doors are opened. If you insist on additional storage then you may have multiple doors so that atleast this view issue may be addressed. Thanks, Amit Cornerstone Designs. Bangalore
