HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)

No experience with babies actually - but seems there are endless combinations - this was just the first / type in and select "Stories" for good articles like this with at least 2 ideas. Many "Photos" on houzz. "Shop" too.

Some links you can look up for ideas on multipurpose furniture: http://bit.ly/1yJjARr http://bit.ly/2ouZevd You can also go in for low seating/floor bed and a square coffee table that doubles up as an activity corner. Keep the colours soft, and accessorise with small indoor plants for a cool, breezy look.

that is what i have added if you can see the pic above.. want some suggestions on partition that i can use between dining and sitting
