Please Read, 1) Following are the photos of my Mumbai apartment (10th floor) kitchen. Water heater and water purifier were already (haphazardly) installed by my contractor before I came to occupy the apartment. Answer : u can shift the purifier above sink , inside the cabinet which will be made by carpenter. 2) We now have to install cabinets above the counter. ( you can ) no problem. 3) I want to get the PNG gas pipes installed to replace the existing cylinders. Answer : This work you can do after carpentry work. 4) When I saw other homes it appears I not only need pipes but some ghastly looking meters/ valves etc. Answer : meter will be hidden inside above cabinet toward right side and pipes will be inside the hob side counter will transfer through the balcony wall to meter again. 1) The gas pipes will come from the wall next to the balcony doors. The sink is just next to this wall. Will it be possible to install the pipes and meters below the cooking counter or is that not practical? - - Don't know what are all the practical considerations. Safety, access to meter to take readings, location of the sink? ). everything is possible.. 2) If under the counter installation is not practical, where should the pipes and other boxes/meters go? as mentioned above.. 3) Is there any practical solution to clean up the wall with water purifier and heater? (please note the kitchen has a 6" thick beam on the top of the wall above the counter, also 6" think pillars one in the corner and the other large one near the microwave as shown. Additionally it has a protrusion on the ceiling, probably this houses the drain for the apartment above me. ( for above apartment kitchen nahani trap chamber it is... )

Hi Pritha, As according to the above scenario you can go with some wall paints which can camouflage the holes and since the hole is big so you can use cardboard to cover the hole and paint that cardboard with the same color paint, bringing a consistency to the walls as well as it can help in contrasting the decor of the entire room too. Moreover you can also go with wall paper too as this will make sure that the walls get covered entirely and thus you can able to cover that hole too to its maximum extent. Of course in this case the Pipe is large but still a small opening wont be much visible if you use dark paint or wallpaper over the wall. A small opening downwards which allows the pipe to go through is unremarkable in this case Through this you wont have to worry much about the false ceiling i suppose. I hope this might help Thanks Team Liveup

I have one more query On the left the loft is covered full front it is half So i will get them uniform But want to understand what suits good: Cutting down left loft to match front Increase the front door to cover ceiling And another question: there is a space on right (just after beam) for the chimney pipe outlet, should I run the loft until half or until door ?

Can someone in this community provide a practical solution to cover these pipes ??
