coming to the dining area..yes id say you remove the seating entirely and concentrate on a foyer area since you already have space for a drawing room on the floor.. id suggest erecting a glass and marble wall in line with the wall that runs between the pooja room and the bedroom..say a bit of marble-glass-marble-glass-marble.in this case you have a small foyer area demarcated by this wall feature.you can deck it up by placing a nice console table in front of the central marble wall with a nice mirror to reflect the space and make it look larger or a sculpture with beautiful bracket lights on either side to accentuate the same.and on the backside of this wall you could have a crockery unit with a huge painting or a cluster of family snaps above it. if you could brief me a little on the look you're adapting for your house i could suggest some more treatments for the walls.if you want to avoid using too much marble you could also opt for a marble wood and glass look where you could take out some concealed storage for shoes etc. regarding the drawing room - what about a huge 4 seater in the center instead of 2 - two seaters with a table in the middle as in the plan..if you remove the central coffee table maybe you could replace the single seater with a chaise for 2 and also replace the 2 center tables with a nice long table in the center with an area rug running below it..if you could help me with the room dimensions maybe we could add 2 pouffes in front of the 4 seater so it creates more seating and doesnt obstruct the view if you plan to put a TV on the wall. what look do you have in mind for your terrace garden ? something zen or a little rustic toeing on the lines of the contemporary ? sorry for the late reply as i was travelling.. hope this helps! :)

hi, the idea of having a partition where proposed is definitely a big NO. As rightly pointed out by Interiorzz it falls at the entrance foyer which kills the look as soon as you enter. i would suggest swapping the drawing and the dining. if you could accessorize your balcony well and turn it into a rock garden - it would be a welcome view from your dining table - you could add a pretty hanging light above the table. the dining family lounge is 11'x18'6" as per your plan. I think thats a large space to play around with and it would give you a separate seating space which you could divide into formal and casual by using a chaise in the middle. the TV could find place on the bedroom one wall or you could turn the set up around and extend the 10'x7'10" room wall till where you have shown a partition between the dining and the drawing and put it on this wall. you could also make an entry to this room on this extended wall right next to the kitchen entry so you have uninterrupted walls in the foyer. The "L" shaped wall that results in the foyer can be treated with wallpaper or stone so its adds a feature to the foyer. hope this helps!

Hello Vineetha, God is everywhere ! If you are going to use the room as a study room then you may very well keep the Pooja room in the same room. Its will be your sacred corner and hope it will bring peace, prosperity and knowledge to the family. That room is already very small in fact at 3200*2300 it is smaller than your kitchen ?Trimming a section from the smallest room to create Pooja room defies our understanding. If you are keen on Vastu- Yes, it is better to have square/rectangle rooms. North east corners are ideal for Pooja and Study. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.
