Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

dlight76: Are these laminates "floors" or wardrobe parts (eg. you can purchase stand alone wardrobes that are made of laminate+particle board...Ikea is famous for this)? If it is flooring, there may be nothing you can do. I've had many, many painters ruin my cork floors by "cleaning" up with mineral spirits...took the finish right off of my flooring. This happens with some hardwood floors as well. This is a common complaint with paint/clean-up. Please contact the painters and ask what they used - and tell them about the problems with the laminate. There may not be a way to salvage the laminate...unless you replace it. It all depends on what the painters used and what the manufacturer states is the best option to restore shine. If the painters damaged the floor, they should be informed. Please post photos to show us what has happened. This is the best way for us to see what damage has been done.

I had purchased hafele hob 10 months back... I got it serviced 6 times... Now i requested for replacement with new one... Still they have not attended my request...

The amazing thing is that you have the luxury of approaching the architect about these issues. Laminated glass should address the security along with any alarm or security system you plan on installing, though the laminated glass may have size limitations. Regarding the waterproofing you should contact the architect, contactor and waterproofing subcontractor, or see about hiring an independent waterproofing specialist who can detail and warranty the condition. As a design consideration, make the lower area a garden or gallery or sculpture area and upper should be all glass. Maybe a garden roof there too if accessible or visible. In any case looks like an amazing place!!
