I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

What kind of a look are you looking at for your house. A minimalist modern look or a contemporary ethnic look. First and foremost you need to do away with the current drapes and replace them with fabric blinds or light curtains so that there is some natural sunlight in the room. Paint the entire room white so that instantly brightens up the room. The long 27ft wall can be wall papered with a bricked look 3D wall paper on light grey or beige or just a textured wall in beige or grey. Also removing your sofa from there will open up the space. The current drawing area can be used as a foyer/entryway with just a bench and a shoe rack. Rest of the details I will share after making a rough plan with all furniture placement. Also what is your budget for renovation.

flooring to be Italian marble or huge tiles with similar look. I would suggest you to simply finish pure wood pillars ( do smooth Randa work and let the grains of wood speak for itself ) and do simple non coloured polish on it. thanks shradha shah beescheese design

Hi Aditi, You have beautiful ethnic style furniture and a spacious drawing room. For this space to look more vibrant and lively here are our suggestions: This being a typical traditional style seating, would like to suggest you to change the upholstery of the current geometric pattern to a plain solid colour. Need to add a combination of printed and plain cushion covers which will give the necessary colour pop, matching the palette of the room. Add a huge area rug to bring in the necessary colour and warmth to the room. Please go for bamboo chick blinds for the window treatment.
