A houzz contributor, not too long ago, had made a wine rack out of 4'x4' wooden pallets, that are used in the US to move a load of goods with a fork-lift truck. Perhaps they have them in your country. He cut them in half so they were only two feet deep and stacked them up to high counter height. The wood would be a nice contrast with your concrete, might add a little warmth to the space. cascio.offsite@gmail.com

Hi Vasundhara, Does this work in the ap as well. Could you help with the screenshots guide of that as well. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Following will be costly and my mobile editing is not so good(bear with me Main door, change to double panel. Opening inside(current left side opening from outside is no good). Kitchen door... to open outside. Single/double panel?(your choice as per ground reality) Move sofa+tv accordingly. You see ppl outside your main door. Anyone walking outside dont see your TV Demolish full wall separating dining/kitchen. Demolish half wall separating drawing room/kitchen. Move fridge to that half wall(its marked €). TV side of wall can be made a feature wall with differentiating painting or wallpaper that may carry on to TV.. upto main door. Move stove(NW kitchen, so cook facing west, vastu). Small stove area, but functional. If there is money, design n replace the dining table to serve dual purpose.. a kitchen island++dining table and lit up with nice dropping lighting.

The design is ok. On first look, the space around sink is a bit less, you may have trouble keeping dishes after washing. But that could be due to layout. It is a small kitchen. I prefer ceiling height cabinets to avoid dust gathering dead space. Even space above the fridge may have cabinet to store rarely used pieces of crockery. Chimney with its exhaust pipe is a must, not an afterthought. Consider under-cabinet light for workspace lighting; essential in my opinion. I also recommend lighter color of cabinets for this space. Too dark is too dingy, looks cheap and requires more maintenance. But that’s just my opinion. Have fun!
