go to a lighting show room, take pictures of the space and any ideas you have. They are best suited to help you. also have a budget. the how to part is nice but most consumers have no idea that the pendants above are probably 300.00 each. Budget for lighting! take advantage of the pro's in the lighting world, its all we do!

Hi, It is really good that you have a lot of neutral shades in your living room. They never go out of trend as they are comforting to the eye. They also give the freedom to play with colour when it comes to cushions, rugs and other decor items. Here are a few colour pallets you can choose from in order to complete the look - You may either warm it up in this way: Or cool it down like this: Or use a combination of the two: Be wary of the fact that striking colours have a major impact on the space hence, choose wisely. Repeat colours here and there - in a curio or a cushion, in a rug and a painting etc. That way the space will look cohesive. Hope this helps you. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

high full length shelves sort of block the view and create partion in the continous space. sink is too close to the shelf? fridge? believe me when you are working that close to a shelf it keeps on hitting a person's elbow. the shelf would become inaccessible to the person making food because it is so far away. try to demarcate between different work areas and how they would interact with each other. like spoons plates etc, near the half island or more accessible to the person using them. range too near the sink.
