Hi rinqreation, the builder has done the basic wire layout already and the walls are plastered too, but the finish isn't complete - I think I am a bit late already. Also, the builder will not allow individual work to be done before they are ready to handover - but I am pressing for it - that's why asked for professional suggestion so that I can go back to the builder and press for it. Thanks again. I am not able to find an interior designer who could tell me in advance how the light, etc. plan has to be done so that I can ask the electrical guy to work accordingly. The interior designer wants to start their work only after the raw flat is ready.

An interesting dilemma! This reminds me why we like to say "form follows function." So in India you take off the mosquito net and place it under the mattress? Also you take off the bed sheets as well? So that, each night, the whole bed must be made and the mosquito netting placed? That's a lot of work! Why is this done? So I like this steel frame bed. You could roll up the nets on all sides if you wanted too, and tie them up with ties. Or tie them back at the posts. Then if there is some public health reason for removing the bed sheets it could be done while the nets are tied back. Best of luck with your designs! [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=]

I feel partitions are not needed. You already have too much for the space. Adding a partition will shrink the space further. The simplistic solution, you do not wish to discard any furniture would be to paint all the walls in lighter pastles. And use some wall painting frames to highlight certain walls.

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... )
