Agreed. and since windows make an essential and large part of a space, Curtains/ blinds become an important design element.

Adding a nice wall art would bring the room to life. Depending your liking either a collage of photographs or a single big photograph art or even a wall paper to the white wall. Check www.dahuez.com or www.facebook.com/dahuez

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

the pictures you see online of glass walls and roofs are those not from India. and the usually have a large property and the home itself is secluded enough to provide privacy. for heat, they have a centrally controlled HVAC system that is on 24x7 to regulate heat and cold, plus the glass is often reflective and double, to provide a modicum of insulation. since you're a resident of Hyderabad, it would be more advisable to have just a skylight or just large french doors and not got for the entire combination. hope this helps
