@Rock Doc: Are you addressing this to me? I haven't actually bought these tiles yet - when I do, I will definitely be going for the handmade ones. They're a work of art and irreplaceable in my opinion. However, there are also screen-printed tiles available in the market in more or less the same patterns; the workmanship is of course different, but you get them cheaper, and they're also more easily available. You could give that a shot. I'd recommend Aakaar Flooring Solutions - they're here on Houzz and are able to provide both the above-mentioned types.

I have pretty much the same colour combination except that the upper cabinets are in silver... also i went for black granite countertop as white is difficult to maintain in our Indian cooking conditions with usage of oil, turmeric and spices....if your budget permits and you can maintain white marble it does give a very sophisticated look...

Pawan, Please recheck the dimensions once again. 27 or 17. Frankly speaking, its not worthwhile to do a comparison in such a small project. However, teak is costlier but has many a variants, please recheck the details if it is First Quality or Burma team. Pricing is usually due to the details. Clients are often duped by initial low-ball offers. Go with one who has better client feedback.

But if you simply cannot remove the washbasin, replace this configuration with a decorative countertop version - a nice stone counter and earthenware basin as shown in the pictures. A more econimical, but not so pretty option is to leave everything as it is and add a low partition about 3'6" high on the left that shields the washbasin from view. You can continue the tiling (ideally a faux brick or slate- NOT white) across the niche on all three walls. Paint the door in a dark shade too -like charcoal grey so that it does not look bathroom-y. Add a wooden moulding around the door frame and paint
