Colour...objects of interest...lighting...all add "energy' or we refer to as "movement" in a space. Interesting pieces of furniture with different textures and different "eye-levels". For instance, you can purchase 3 or 4 different forms of seating options...you are in India so you should be able to find FABULOUS furnishings for great prices. You could purchase a low-slung sofa, an extra large "floor pillow" (it would act as a chair or foot stool), a leather-covered round ottoman and an interesting crate/box with a slab of glass or intricate wood over top...this is your seating arrangement for the living room and will work as a great "hang-out" space that you can enjoy by yourself or with a tonne of people hanging around! With all that visual "movement" from one object to another to another, you will create interest! And "interest" is energy! But your best bet for energy...people!

I would remove the cover you have on table right now. Just wondering if your furniture is Japanese , just curious :) also details of windows seems to have some Far Asian influence. I would brighten the table up with a bowl of flowers to match the scene, chair covers too with tie backs, table mats, and rug under table. Try to colour coordination table accessories, chair cover, rug and curtains. Center the table in the middle of room and add sideboard near window or corner display cabinet.

I think this piece is quite lovely. It appears that your couch and chairs have dark wood so I would be tempted to stain or paint the buffet to match these items. Changing the large modern handles to smaller antique ones might help to make it less bulky looking and tie in with the other items in your room.. I like the idea of putting a mirror in the upper door, however much as I like the criss cross effect in the sample pictures, adding more detail may conflict with the curves in your sofa and chairs. You could look for a decorative detail that has more subtle style. As for placement, it might go on the short wall where you have a bench or even on the wall where you have your table with two chairs, one on each side to balance the look.

Doesn't make.much of difference between teak or sheesham in terms of finish and appearance... quality wise teak is better!
