I think you may be mistaken about veneer. Veneer is a very thin layer of, in this case, wood that is glued over a less attractive piece of wood, to give it a better look.

Hi Kiran, Before you place any furniture here, you should rethink the existing layout. I would eliminate the 3 internal walls around the puja room, and convert the areas of the living, puja, dining and kitchen, into a singular larger space. This is simply for better air circulation and overall aesthetics of the flat - to make it feel larger. You will now have an open kitchen - which can be shut by either a glass sliding folding partition, or with a half wall with a breakfast bar. You can use furniture smartly to create privacy for individual areas. You can also change the locations of the doors to the bedrooms, by not having them from the dining space, but from the passage outside the bathrooms; so that a larger table right in the centre with a dining credenza by one of the walls, thereby making the dining space a bit enclosed and not accessible from 3 sides. To answer your main question, you can have the television on the common wall between the living and bathroom (5'x8'); an L-shaped sofa can be placed along the same wall as the entrance door. Hope this helps! G

Yes Rakesh, you will have to cover the window to make sure the eyes are not strained due to bright light from behind the TV. Choice amongst curtains or blinds should depend on the room interiors. However curtains would be better here. Thanks Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

Hello there, since you have got a blank canvas, I would suggest hiring a designer first for a coherent design and decor. As for the living room TV unit, you could do with floating shelves and a wallpapered backdrop for TV with wall mount. As for the pooja many designs have been put up for reference and it is better to partition out a separate room with glass. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar
