A multi-functional outdoor space can be tricky to design, but there are tons of ideas out there. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you are designing: What aesthetic do you like? Modern, traditional, transitional, coastal, mid century? Or some elements of each design aesthetic? What kind of outdoor furniture do you want? Is there enough space for the furniture? If not, look for folding or stacking furniture, or furniture that is easy to move. What kind of ground cover do you want? Pavers? Cement pad? Grass? Some other type of hardscape? Consider how much maintenance each type takes and how much you are willing to do. What kind of covering do you want the space to have? Nothing? A pergola? Umbrellas? A sun shade? If you can narrow down some of these answers you’ll start to get an idea of how to best use your space, and in the meantime, check out some of our projects to help inspire your design!

This reminds me of my kitchen in Hyderbad, India. As others said, go with open shelves. Both wood (contrast) and stainless (brightness) would work well for upper shelves. I would also do shelves in the lower cabinets. If you want to minimize cleaning, add heavy, easily washable curtains to the lower shelves. You can add some battery operated lighting so you can see into those darker spaces. As for the walls, I would use a white subway tile and go as high on the wall as you can afford. The glaze will reflect more light and the surface will be relatively able to keep clean. Paint the other walls in a high-quality white paint (use a ceramic one if you can find it, as they are a lot more durable). Keep the appliances to a minimum. Kitchen gadgets might be handy, but lost of them will make the space seem small. For the ones you do buy, go with white or stainless steel. Finally, hang pots, pans and utensils on the walls to free shelf space and get them off the counter. Make sure what you use frequently is within easy reach, while "occasional" tools can be higher up, where you might need a stool to reach them.

It Depends on the size of the cut out and how is it connected to the other parts of the building. For example- 1. If it is connected to the kitchen and living room and has sufficient space can be used as dining with double height and skylight. 2. We can hang a chandelier that kind of shines or be something visually appealing in natural light 3. for function based we can make it a electrical room or a small storage along with skylight P.S. there are numerous options but we need to find a suitable function of it first and we also need to see if it is either designed for other thing rather than just being a sky light.

Hi. If you do not want to go with a wardrobe there then you can create a wall shelf in the cavity; something like below. Or, you can fill the cavity with vertical wooden rafters, put some focus lights on the ceiling and place a high wing chair and ottoman in front. It will be a good space next to the window to sit, relax and read. You can also put a circular rug beneath the chair and ottoman; it will look good.
