@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.

Hi Pratiksha, From what we can tell from the image, the view from your foyer looks calm and peaceful. For simply elevating the space, try repainting the wall, clearing up the clutter, using similar planters for your greenery and using soft, weatherproof blankets and pillows on the swing. However, if you're looking for a fresh, contemporary look, then we suggest switching out the flooring and the wall tiles for something more minimal and in a neutral shade such as white, grey, beige etc. Also, consider adding some modular storage solutions to house those miscellaneous items such as helmet and umbrellas.
