HI --- Bhakti -- Can you send a picture of your kitchen and dining and living rooms , please . It is hard to know what you are asking . It would be good for us to see the rooms .Thank You

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

why are you extending that living area taking up the balcony ?......i mean it looks quite well having a balcony as you can see the view of the outside and serves cross ventilation as well rather u can decorate your living but if u really want to extend that area u can add up false ceiling but with that i think u might end up having less height of the room allover or particularly from that portion of the extended area ...which might look abrupt to eyes . there is another way of using that beam ....you can use that area for putting ac so that it won't look odd. something like this and can use your area hanging that jhula like so in the picture and for once u should think once, extending that area i mean u can use low height sofas for minimizing the space and and your room will appear larger .somewhat like this ........i hope u understand my point .

Hi Nikita, First and farmost, you have very beautifull coushion on sofa, from where you buy it? You can check the videos of Small budget Big makover first session series in youtube. In One such house in Gujarat, Muninder and Bishakha coloured the old sofa set with whtie (The sofa is like yours) and changed the centre table. Interestingly, the family also had your kind of sofa set and they also want some modern style. The architect duo did not changed the sofa, just changed the colour. Yes I found it in youtube. it is the house of Setu Upadhyay. the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85GNhyLeVnM Another suggestion is that you have many tables on the room. You can drop few chairs and opt for a single centre table
