Need help with my kitchen -Mumbai apartment (11-1/2 ft X 7ft)
Following are the photos of my Mumbai apartment (10th floor) kitchen. Water heater and water purifier were alrady (haphazardly) installed by my contractor before I came to occupy the apartment. We now have to install cabinets above the counter. Before they are installed, I want to get the PNG gas pipes installed to replace the existing cylinders. When I saw other homes it appears I not only need pipes but some ghastly looking meters/ valves etc. These connections installed outside the existing cabinets, looked very unsightly. I am hoping to have the kitchen to look as clean as it is practically possible. I also want to clean up the wall with the heater and water purifier, if it is practical.
Can you please help me with the following?
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? ).
2) If under the counter installation is not practical, where should the pipes and other boxes/meters go?
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.
I really appreciate all your practical ideas, given the constraints mentioned above. Will you please, if possible, share any pictures showing how pipes etc are concealed to give a clean look?
Thanks.

Under the counter - next the the sink on the right are gas cylinders (not in pic) that get removed. There is already provision for the pipe coming from the cylinder into the stove.

need help for the shelves colr with the black kitchen slabs
Comments (31)Just to clarify, you have presented 3 versions. I believe the consensus is the original version with the wood grain ( linen grain) cabinetry works the best and is most updated. The only thing that is out of place are the cabinets or "shelves" on both sides of the range hood. If this is what you need to find a solution too. I would suggest only experimenting with rendering options for these two cabinets( or shelves). This cabinet ties in all the other hard surfaces. The white is not working. It just adds another element. The black is a little dated....See MoreNeed help with my living room
Comments (138)Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you....See MoreNeed help in choosing laminate for kitchen
Comments (6)Hello Pete, It is indeed tricky to select the laminate from small sample patches. We feel it is often misleading as the small section is just a 2 inch piece cut out from a 8ft x 4ft sheet. Depending on your location you can do either. Check on Merino website .They would show images of the full sheet and if you are lucky even real life application of the same. Another option is to visit the Merino depot. Your designer would be able to book the visit for you. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore....See MoreReview 9.2 x 10.5 ft Kitchen Layout
Comments (7)Hi Anshul, Try this small change in the layout. It will make a lot of difference. Go for low back chairs to make the look clutter free. If feasible accommodate dining in a different space altogether. That way you will create additional space in the kitchen to work with. If you can send the entire floor plan along with the north direction, we may be able to guide you better. Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur...See More
