Thank you Groveraxle for the virtual ! you are too good a designer that is why I cannot help troubling you ;) you have your biggest fan in me ever since your first advice:)) As for an in-house designer I am certainly going to call somebody soon . Just that I get such a lot of options and great advice from highly accomplished and talented Houzz designers ..I would be better prepared after these conversations ..please forgive me for pestering you guys like this:)

Hello there, First things first, from the perspective of utility, the foyer is very slim and hence floating decor and furniture are recommended. You could replace the idol with a POP 3D idol and a few ledges of wood for keys and accessories. If you want a shoerack, you could place it adjacent to the window. Illumination could be done with a couple of ceiling spot lights and a mini chandelier/ pendants to welcome guests. You could accomodate a console table too by converting your shoerack into a console table. Also, the door panels should be changed and veneer panels should be pasted on both sides and polished. Wood frame color has to be changed to natural wood grain/ dark walnut. Imitation stone cladding tiles has to be removed and replaced with matt finish/ high gloss marble tiles and illuminated with pendant lights. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar.

I feel partitions are not needed. You already have too much for the space. Adding a partition will shrink the space further. The simplistic solution, you do not wish to discard any furniture would be to paint all the walls in lighter pastles. And use some wall painting frames to highlight certain walls.

Hi Mayukha, Your home looks lovely. From the image you shared, it looks like all you need is a few changes to give the exterior a contemporary look and feel. We suggest switching the three-panel windows and the flooring to something more modern. Here is our portfolio of projects. We can discuss design ideas in detail, if you're interested.
