The art you have is hung way too high and the idea of three pics in a row is a good one make sure that whatever you hang is long enough so that when hung the bottom of the pics are about 6" above the back of the chairs and please get a much bigger lamp for the end table.

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

Hi, I am not a professional but a enthusiast. I have 2 opinions for you. 1. Small Puja Mandir in place of Fridge and move the fridge near the Sink opposite to Dining. This will be probably very Small. But during Pooja, there will be good space. 2. The second opinion is based on questioning the need of 3 bathrooms. You can remove one attached bathroom and make it a big Pooja Room. Further, you can also play with the size of Bathroom and make it extremely small and accommodate both Pooja from outside and a small bathroom or powder behind it * Chosen practicality over Vaastu.

Hi Karuna, Here are a few pros and cons of using large tiles on walls - Pros - 1] They have lesser joints to fill and hence give the space a larger look and feel. 2] They look like stone cladding if installed properly. Cons - 1] They are costly as far as their rate/square foot and labour cost is concerned. 2] They require epoxy grout / adhesive instead of the regular cement grout which usually adds to the cost. 3] Since they are huge in size, they are not suitable for small areas due to the hassle of cutting the tiles manually to fir the size. 4] There is a high possibility of warp age in the tiles due to their size and because of this either their joints wont match or the surface may look undulated. Hence, it is recommended that large tiles be used for floors instead of walls. We would suggest to go in for the smaller sized tiles like 2'x2' or less for a more aesthetic look. Just apply tiles between the kitchen cabinets and avoid doing so near the peninsula. It would make the kitchen look lighter and brighter and not like a bathroom. Also for the back splash you may go for any of the following tile options - 1] Mosaic 2] Ceramic tiles/ Vitrified tiles 3] Natural stone such as granite All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
