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.

Hello there, Sorry for the inconvenience caused through the third party dealers. They almost always portray a bad image of the construction industry. Yes tile dimensions do vary but it should be within tolerance of +/- 1.5 mm. Big brands never compromise on dimensions, color fastness and thickness as their machineries are automated. Yes, imitation and duplicate tiles could have been sold off as original ones. Check your box's QR code for that. If none found, then it is a cheap knock off. When you procure next time, please visit a brand exclusive experience center and buy it from them. Costing would be lower than dealers for the same quality and quantity. Direct procurement from company always benefits customers. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Hi,  Go for Jet black granite for counter top. It would look classy with your white ceramic wash basin and beige wall tiles. And go for above counter wash basin.

We are planning a U shaped kitchen with loft in a 13 ft 6" by 8 ft 10" sized space. Ceiling colour : classic white; Walls : morning glory (sort of white with a hue of very pale pink) in Berger and the floor is vitrified gloss finish sonic ivory tiles. I am looking at a single colour kitchen in pale yellow or light green or powder blue with black granite countertop. I don't want it to overwhelm and I also want the space to look spacious. The natural light is good in this space. Merino laminates I have considered are Jaisalmer and Gladiola. The greens in merino seem too dark The light green laminate is in Asiam brand. I agree with many others that it is hard to visualise a shade in a whole room from a 2 inch chip. Any feedback from completed projects or experience welcome. Please post completed yellow, green and blue kitchens in India, if possible. Thanks.
