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.

Dear Shubham, I am Ravi Prakash and I am an Architect. A lot of information required to start with any project, like context, site, plot, budget, timelines and many more. It appears like you had not consult a professional assistance for your hotel as I don't see anything interesting in this building. Its just a boring box with lot of windows. Hotels are hospitality buildings where service and comfort to the guests/visitors is the prime concern. It has to be a beautiful building with rich, healthy and welcoming environment. If you are looking for professional consultancy you can share your contact here or can contact me. Thanks and Regards Ar. Ravi Prakash 8882204074 ar.ravi2013@gmail.com

I have some suggestions if you are thinking budget friendly changes. Make a photo gallery with different size frames and arrange them parallel to the stairs, so you can enjoy each photo as you climb up. And for the area that will be on a level with your upper floor, try some pretty decal that will connect the photo gallery to upper level. And last, if you have budget add some beautiful hanging lights in the stairwell. Also think about repositioning your refrigerator.

Rashpreet, The wall highlighted in red is a better fit for stone cladding. Couple it with subtle wall papers for enhancing the look. Accentuate it more with repeating the pattern on the wall next to Kitchen entrance. Is this an after thought as no provisions are made for accomodating stone cladding. For eg, the ledge depth will get covered with the stone edges ? Please plan how will you accommodate that. If the TV is wall mounted, make sure that the TV clamp provision is made as drilling it afterwards is a tricky job. For the other query, You can have the boundaries defined with a contrast wood or granite. We will try to post a pic for your reference. The wall claddings displayed are exterior grade and may not suit the finer ones required for living room. See if you can find some designs that are more refined. Please call us if you need any clarifications on the above. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.
