What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

i own a 3 bhk flat it's under complete renovation so I wanted to know more about how to light up the house and create an ambience. I have used high gloss ivory shade tiles brand:kajaria. walls will be painted neuteral colors it would be beige or white(not yet decided).could you please tell me if warm light is good for residence and if yes then how much kelvins to be used on the light. I was looking for 4000k. is cob lights are good or panel lights,I personally like cob lights. your suggestion please.

We are planning a U shaped kitchen with loft in a 13 ft 6" by 8 ft 10" sized space. Ceiling colour : classic white; Walls : morning glory (sort of white with a hue of very pale pink) in Berger and the floor is vitrified gloss finish sonic ivory tiles. I am looking at a single colour kitchen in pale yellow or light green or powder blue with black granite countertop. I don't want it to overwhelm and I also want the space to look spacious. The natural light is good in this space. Merino laminates I have considered are Jaisalmer and Gladiola. The greens in merino seem too dark The light green laminate is in Asiam brand. I agree with many others that it is hard to visualise a shade in a whole room from a 2 inch chip. Any feedback from completed projects or experience welcome. Please post completed yellow, green and blue kitchens in India, if possible. Thanks.
