On your paint problem I can't be much help. This usually happens because of damp -- please get a damp expert to make sure that there isn't any damp lurking in your walls. I had this once when I had pipes leaking inside the walls. I didn't know that. The other alternative is something like painting before the plaster is dry or some kind of chemical mismatch. I do know you will have to scrape all the mucky powdery stuff away and start again, at least on those areas. Don't try to seal and prime and repaint until you know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.

Hi Reena, This looks like it needs a in-person discussion but nature wallpapers are not all that bad an option BUT! careful while you choose so it doesn't like 'fake'.

Hi sir/mam, Back splash is a creative space, any bright color, design, art work goes well with it. There are couple of ways of doing it. 1.Ceramic Decorative tiles/Mosaic (classic/regular) 2.Back painted glass (Premium) 3. Aluminium mosaic tile, peel & stick (on budget) Thanks Ar.

Djhamu, Description is good but better post the pics. Color choices are extremely subjective. First option is to make your own choices: look at 1000s of pics mark/collect them, identify what is that you like and then use android apps to see how it looks on your actual walls. Go for a sample and then fall in love with it. Second option is to hire a professional who will understand you and help you select one. Best finish : Again subjective but if done properly, Soft sheen finish is very good. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
