You will need space to walk and for your feet if you turn the chairs around - if you put a divider in you will block the view from the dining table out to the balcony - and thus make the kitchen and dining room both have no view ! So if you keep it open, the natural light can get through !

Hi Bala, There are lots of concepts to go into designing of a kitchen. Do you like traditional, modern or do have anything specific in mind that you can convey? Regarding RCC staircase, firstly I'd like to know whether the construction has been started or not? According to the elevation, we can go for the designing of a staircase that merges with the elevation and not just feels like an odd element out. Hope you understand. Hope that was helpful. -Thanks, -Neelam -Lines and Profile

Thanks for your response and putting a stamp to what we thought. yeah thats the whole idea. We want to merge the utility with kitchen by removing the wall on the right of the utility door and also remove the door. We will keep the sink in the utility behind the wall on the left of the door. This will conceal the sink area from drawing room. Do you think its a good idea and will make the whole look of the house grandeur. We have also removed the wash basin from dining area and planning to remove the small extension wall between kitchen and wash basin in dining area. This will make the drawing room look bigger and more natural light coming into the kitchen from balcony side.

Hi Nagendra, You can probably follow this : Furnishings : You can highlight sofa with bright silk / cotton silk bright colored cushions and throws. Walls : You can go neutral on the wall colors ( off whites , ivory , beige or light grey) This opens up your possibilities and choices with furnishings and other add - on If possible you can get the exposed brick wall done on of the walls ( the entrance console wall for example) and have lot of interesting frames on it ) Artwork / frames : You can add lots of art work frames ( on the sofa wall ) of various style and types. Plants : Please add lot of greens , it really lights up the space like no other artificial prop can. You get lot of low maintenance indoor plants they brighten up the space. Please note : You should first choose whether you wish to go for a traditional look or a modern or even a blend of the the two and then choose artwork and furnishings accordingly.
