You have a great opportunity to go eclectic. So using very modern and colourful elements for the kitchen - modern storage cannisters, a vase, lights, toaster, even mixer, you start to introduce shocks of colour and shape that jar with the expectations in a traditional kitchen. In this image see how the chairs just add a touch of cheek to cheer up the kitchen...

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.

Hi Nirudu. Congrats on the purchase! I have lived in London for a decade and understand your query. As you know homes are compact in London and with the gloomy weather almost year round, developers tend to go for the standard magnolia for the walls and white for the ceiling for maximum light refection, at the same time give a warm atmosphere during night with warm white lights complementing the magnolia walls. I would suggest you keep the rooms nice and bright but instead use pop up colours in your furnishings to personalise your home. Example:

Hi, How much does this cost per square foot? Can it be coloured? How long does it take to be applied? Should it only be applied as a top coat or can we tile over it? Are there any specific companies manufacturing it? Please name a few. Are there any vendors in Nagpur? Thanks, Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
