Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

Peeyush, It is extremely difficult to identify a good ply amongst 100 plus brands unless you are a professional and you have the liberty to cut sheets for comparison . As you mentioned, it is a fairly unregulated market and in your case it would be only some 20 manufacturers making these 100 odd local ones and stamping it differently for marketing reasons . Brands do promise a minimum level of assurance and hence the cost. However, to help you narrow down - start with your budget range and the ones that comes with ISI mark/ hologram alongwith genuine invoices . With invoices you get a minimum brand warranty. The warping condition of the top ply usually tells a lot about the built. Try to go to reputed vendors only as they tend to have better ones. From the top five selected ones see if you can get "real samples" of 6"x6". Compare the weight, the cross section built of these and test them for nail/ screw strength and then finally put them in water for 2 days to see their respective performances with respect water absorption. You will need a lot of patience and a trusted carpenter for these. Too much to ask for a new person :) Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

Thanks for both of your responses CUBSpaces team and Shweta from Shades studio. It really gives a clarity about possible consequences. I am now doubt free about changing whole things in Bathroom as it will be interconnected. However will appreciate your opinion on few things: 1. Kitchen wall tiles: I have those from countertop height to roof(almost area of 6X15 feet) which are good and not hollow. I changed countertop 5 years back without any damage to these tiles. It might cost me another 10-15 K, but I feel the whole process and quantity of wasting old good tiles makes me little sad. 2. kitchen countertop: Made new around 5 years back. I don't expect to get it all intact. But large pieces can be cut and can be used as top for other freestanding structures like dishwasher, front load washer, heighten base cabinets, etc. 3. Plywood: I don't mind giving enough labour charges for old sheets recycle. I am planning to use doors, loose sheets(like kept on bed frame of settee frame.) or parts of big frames like settee. I am keen on reducing waste than to save money. You can see various DIY ideas by western people, who remove or sand laminates and re-paint furniture, or carefully remove hollow tiles and re-attach them. Some are also re-painting ceramic tiles. I am just asking myself: Are we creating more and more waste by use and throw approach every 10-15 years, just because we can afford it?
