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 ;-)

Such a nice selection of style. Very nice and reassuring to see what is avaialable.

Thanks Emmeline & Najeebah for your replies. Its a beautiful cinnamon tree. Najeebah, its a well growing tree..I would like to retain it at the current spot and have the living room adjoining it. According to the house plan, there would be only 4'depth from the wall to the main house. N since we live in a tropical region, i would not want the tree to be fully indoor. Mosquitoes & other small insects could find their way into the living area during the monsoon season. How can i show its beauty?Pls advise

house is good in white. ensure you choose off white colour such as cotton woll and not brilliant white whike repainting. Gate in black. boundary wall in mud colour. overall it would look like a spanish villa. only thing missing is a big olive tree or a palm tree
