Keya, glad you decided to take the one reader's idea about moving the armoires in front of windows that you don't need and giving the bed a wall of its own! And, yes, you can have Roman shades on one wall and layered drapes on the other. When I had drapes made for my tall sitting room windows/doors, I had them use the same fabric for the Roman shades for the smaller windows on the other wall. For me personally, in these older Indian homes with all the odd nooks and niches in the walls, perhaps it would be more soothing to have a light/med tone paint on the walls that blends with the drapes/blinds for an 'uninterrupted' look, and I would use the same color on ceiling and beams. (but that is just my thought) I would start the process with a large carpet with your favorite colors, then choose your Bedcover & cushions, then your wall paint and fabric for drapes/blinds ..Not certain what style you like, but if you really like a particular Ethnic bedcover fabric, you can always have them stitched into curtains or Roman shades too. Can't wait to see the "After" pics!

Hi Nitin, Since the FAR in Delhi has increased so our society is extending all 3bhk 2toilet units to 4bhk 4toilets unit.That's why we had closed the door to the toilet from master bedroom.A big bathroom is coming up with master bedroom. We have 2 wardrobes each in all 3 bedrooms making it total of 6. Except the long one 6'6" one in master bedroom all are having hinged doors.All door panels will be 8' tall.The kid's room l colour has been finalized to lime merino to keep it in sink with the toy unit which will be broadly white in colour with red,blue,yellow n green marino lam inside the open boxes of toy unit.The study table would also b in white n some light wooden texture. About both bedrooms it's not decided yet.We are open for same concept for both the bedrooms but since the master bedroom wardrobe is quite big we were thinking of using some simple n sophisticated colour to give it a rich look. The door will have DP18 LOREDO WENGE veneer.The TV unit,crockery case and other wood work in living room will have a19 CANALETTO WALLNUT n NIMBUS CORIAN. I think by now u would have got a fair idea of our taste which would help you to finalize the concept. In case any more input is required from my side I wud readily send them.

Hi Vandana, For that you may have to share the floor plan and pictures of existing plan along with the requirements. Typically a normal renovation work takes 45-60 days. Budget is individual specific. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

Yogender Sharma To make a grass cover, the first thing you will need to ensure if whether the structure of the half basement is capable to holding a green roof. The next would be to waterproof the top again, keeping in mind the soil and the constant contact with water. Once these things are done, you need to locate were it is you want the lawn and ensure you have access to a drainage within or at best near it the area. You will then require the services of a horticulturist to help you set up the lawn. In terms of cost, it really depends on quite a few factors Existing condition of the structure Location Quality of Horticulturist Type of Green Cover etc....
