Style - well that is a good question... I would say it is a modern contemporary urban style home, brick frontage etc... not a victorian style or anything like that. Have solid wood two tone staircase, with dark and natural color maple that stands out prominently when you enter the house. The rest of the house, the Kitchen etc is bit traditional, yet modern finish. Dark solid wood cabinets. I do have 9 foot ceiling but only 9', as that is the maximum that we are allowed to have in our neighborhood. I like to add bit of character and architectural personality to the house, but wasn't sure if wainscotting would in turn make the house look very aged, as we generally see them on older Victorian style homes. Or perhaps I am just mistaken in my limited knowledge about home styling and decor. I see soooo many different styles, which makes it so difficult to choose one because I like them all. So the challenge is to pick one that suits the best. Is it generally better to keep the stains neutral so that the wainscotting trim blend with the wall or will it stand out too much if I make panels that are stained dark. These are the questions that are holding me back from venturing in to this project. Any other comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

This can be an easy fix (you run extra cable stapled to the top of the baseboards around to where you need it) or it can be a hard fix that requires a little bit of drilling and patching/painting (have a new whole drilled into the wall where you want it and run another line to that space from the outside where the cable enters the building). Either way this can be fixed in 1-2 hours.

Your drapes look like they're fine. It's hard to see if they're long enough--do they just touch the floor? That would be the right length. Make sure the paint you pick blends with the color of the drapes and the two chairs. The Edgecomb Gray looks like it would work or you could go with an entirely different color and add pictures and rug to pull it all together. Love the color Sea Salt by SW.
