Hello dopcam, Compliments ! Its a great open kitchen. Please see if you like Century Almond Ivory 127 LU and Graphite Grey 238 LU combination. It will look awesome in this kitchen. As the sink is on the right wall it's not recommended place for an island. You may see if you like a standalone island . Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore

Hi Sandeep, If you plan to give the pooja area in the corner that you have marked above it will be facing south, which is not suggested as per vastu shastra. For any pooja area, the idol or photograph should not face the south. Instead, you may shift the refrigerator in the kitchen and move the storage/console/crockery unit closer to the kitchen door. This will create an area in the corner where you may provide the pooja room (as marked with the green outline). In this case you can use the following concepts to design the pooja section : All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Please Read, 1) Following are the photos of my Mumbai apartment (10th floor) kitchen. Water heater and water purifier were already (haphazardly) installed by my contractor before I came to occupy the apartment. Answer : u can shift the purifier above sink , inside the cabinet which will be made by carpenter. 2) We now have to install cabinets above the counter. ( you can ) no problem. 3) I want to get the PNG gas pipes installed to replace the existing cylinders. Answer : This work you can do after carpentry work. 4) When I saw other homes it appears I not only need pipes but some ghastly looking meters/ valves etc. Answer : meter will be hidden inside above cabinet toward right side and pipes will be inside the hob side counter will transfer through the balcony wall to meter again. 1) The gas pipes will come from the wall next to the balcony doors. The sink is just next to this wall. Will it be possible to install the pipes and meters below the cooking counter or is that not practical? - - Don't know what are all the practical considerations. Safety, access to meter to take readings, location of the sink? ). everything is possible.. 2) If under the counter installation is not practical, where should the pipes and other boxes/meters go? as mentioned above.. 3) Is there any practical solution to clean up the wall with water purifier and heater? (please note the kitchen has a 6" thick beam on the top of the wall above the counter, also 6" think pillars one in the corner and the other large one near the microwave as shown. Additionally it has a protrusion on the ceiling, probably this houses the drain for the apartment above me. ( for above apartment kitchen nahani trap chamber it is... )

Coffee tables are the focal point of your living room. Whether its a small family gathering or a house party, everyone will end up using it – eventually! Styling this standalone piece of furniture can really help you create an impeccable surface that every guest appreciates. Stuck on how to style your coffee table? Here are some steps to follow and you’ll nail it like a pro. Define your style Choose a theme that matches the overall decor style of your house. It can be contemporary, modern, vintage, eclectic, bohemian or any other. Use a tray, bowl or a stylish plate You coffee table can’t look too pristine or too cluttered that there’s no space left for mail, documents or afternoon tea. Instead, you want to go for a beautiful yet practical aesthetic. Trays are excellent way to make a stack look clean and confined. Use rule of three to group items For decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. The easiest way to use rule of three is by creating three stacks or grouping three different items together. Make a personal design statement We tend to save objects like family memories and souvenirs for bookshelves or console tables. Items like a family heirloom piece, your DIY project or even a memento from a memorable trip can have more impact when placed on a coffee table, where people congregate. Don’t be afraid of throwing in a few unexpected personal items – especially ones with interesting backstories. Living element Plants are a great way to add some nature to your interior decor, and coffee tables are one of the best places to show them off. Add a dash of green and contemporary style to your tabletop with some of these plants (or any other) – succulents jade plant money plant aloe cactus moss baby rubber plant spider plant string of pearls Play with heights One mistake people often make with their coffee table is displaying too many objects of the same height. Play with the heights and scale of objects to give structure to your composition and make it more dynamic. It also adds visual interest. Stack books Books make for excellent decor subjects. Each has something awesome and unique about it. It’s definitely something to draw inspiration from. Using books as raises for knick knacks is actually visually pleasing and organized. The book stack also adds height to the display. Lastly, they add character and a personal touch. Coffee table styling is a bit of an art. Above all else, consider how you use your coffee table before you choose how to style it. A table may be expertly styled but it wont be functional if it doesn’t serve the purpose that its owner has in mind. P.S. – Hey people. If you find this useful then do like, comment and share.
