You don't need the handles on the wardrobe at all. If they must be there have them constructed of the same material / finish or made then glass, plastic, just clear. For the nook add shade treatment in white or jet black . The pyramid clock, the pendant and the chair are just out of place. The pendant should be LED in a cylinder of clear glass and please use a dimmer. The chair should reflect the cozy nook and the huge bed. To free up the floor space try just s simple bench in front of the bed. I would also buy a plant for this room, a mid size potted plant

I also like the idea of organic finishes- wood, jute, sisal etc. this room looks long enough for 2 different seating areas but I'm not sure from your description of the space what its purpose is in your house. Just a living room for sitting and talking? A family room that needs a media space? I would definitely make those huge windows a star in this space with simpler dressings and a seating area oriented towards them. Right now your furniture is very randomly arranged without a focal point or conversation friendly grouping. I think that's what you feel is missing.

Thank you Marie. I'm herewith attaching couple of pics that were taken when the house was newly constructed. I wish I could take latest ones but it is a total mess now. But you'll get a fairly better idea with an empty house. One picture, taken in long-shot, shows the lateral part of the kitchen hidden behind the shelf and Arch (I brought down this Arch now). The second one shows the kitchen door showing only part of the kitchen interior. I've annotated the pictures wherever necessary. Hope they're not distracting. As you can clearly see, this is an old-styled construction even though this house was constructed barely 6 years ago! In an attempt to make the home look contemporary, my current project involves either 1 . Bringing down the concrete shelves completely and replace them with wooden cabinets/wardrobes. I've already brought down few concrete shelves in other rooms. OR 2. Alternatively, overlaying few of existing shelves with wooden doors to cover them up. Either way, the appearance is more or less the same once the furnishing is completed. At this juncture, this decision of 'Open Versus Closed kitchen' is holding me back from proceeding to the next phase of remodeling - Dropped Ceilings.

Hello.Kamal, Thanks for letting us know that Spruce is also being used for external door/frames. Which part of india is this a practice ? I always under the impression that it is a soft wood which is not meant for external doors/frames and was more suitable for interiors. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore
