Dining

In older days, people used to have dining space in the Kitchen itself,due to vast area but in this era,Space is the mere important criteria most of the flats are having Kitchen only for cooking and a space is providing in hall for dining.Even with the small space provided, you can bring your creativity to design it aesthically.

1.My first option is, it is better to have a open window option from Dining room to kitchen so that it is easy to access dining vessels from kitchen and even the aromas which come from kitchen to dining room will increase your appetite.

2.In dining area, choose the lighter shades for the walls which gives a pleasant appearance when you are taking food.

3.Make sure, that your dining table or dining area has a window nearby as it is good to have natural light than artificial light while having food.When it comes to light fixtures, if you can opt go for hanging lamps for which light falls directly on the dining table.

4.It would be always nice to have wall decors in all the rooms, but in a dining room if you have a painting or wall paper with delicious fruits,vegetables then it will sure attract the eye of visitors.

5.Apart from Dining table, you can even opt for a small shelf to store glassware or dining vessels which will also add another attraction to your room.

6.It is not important,what is the cost of dining table we buy,but it is important how we mainitain it and present it so make sure that table is always clean instead of putting all dining vessels on the table.Now a days, a small flower pot with herbs are available in market buy them and place it on the dining table instead of flower vases which gives a different look and the fresh air from those herbs is good for health.

7.Since, dining areas are becoming the center point for family discussions comfort of the chairs and sitting we chose plays the key role.Hence ,keep focus on comfort on sitting than the look and now a days, dining tables are coming with 4 chairs and a long table for sitting arrangement.Try that, if you want.

8.even arranging of dining vessels attractively can also bring a big change to the look of your dining table even though the table is simple.try the below kitchen table art.

Please find the below pictures of the same.






Pooja Room

1.Pooja Room is the place, where everyone wishes to find peace and so it should be constructed aesthically than going for a modern.So, it would be nice if we pick light colors like white ,light yellow for the walls.

2.Yes, eventhough we design a pooja room very simple, we can put our touch of designing in it by choosing wall tiles for the pooja room.

3.Pooja Room door should always be two sides and even if you put curtain , they should be pulled from both sides.Hence, you will get Pooja room doors made of wood or glass as per your taste.

4.Now a days, we don't find place too much to design a pooja room and hence every one are opting for a Wooden pooja mandir but i say, if you just elevate some of the space in the corner of hall and design a marble mandir then it will entirely change the look of the house.Even you get marble with different colors now a days.

5.You can opt for a traditional cieling in the pooja room which will also bring elagant look to your home.

Wall Units in Living Rooms

Today, we will look at wall units.I would completly suggest you to try these with help of a renowed carpenter than buying in cosy furniture showrooms.

now a days, wall units have become popular so that it is found in every own house of urban people, let us look the basic concepts we have to look before buying or attaching a wall unit.

1.Be sure about the space occupied by the wall unit before you fix it to the wall, there may be cosy wall units available but if the wall in our house doesn't fit it then, it is of no use so note the dimensions of the unit carefully.There should be space leaved on the either side of the wall unit so that it should be fitted in the center of the wall.

2.Usually, people prefer to wall units to hide the wires which are used to connect to home theatre and TV mount.so be careful in picking up a wall unit so that wires are hidden from the view or else it would be ugly to have wires viewed on the aesthitic wall units.

3.Wall units come with storage space also now a days, usually people load books in the storage space of the wall but i prefer since it is the centre of attraction in a living room if the storage space provided in your wall unit have no cupboards then arrange decorative items in your wall unit than books.

4.For the wall unit which have cupboards, you can play with the color of doors which matches your living room interior.Now a days we are getting wall units, which are affixed with bulbs on the back side which give a extra attaction.You can also set up designer mirrors for the wall unit doors.

5.If you want to try something different with your wall unit, then try a wall mount aquarium beside the sofa and have simple wall unit with out storage then you will get the beauty double the times of cozy wall unit.

With this , we will conclude Living and proceed with Pooja room in the next posts.

Have a look at the wall mounts attached.

In most of the homes, we see elagant designing of the living room but the corners are left empty with a flower stand.Inspite of flower stands in the corners, we can try many more in the corners.It may not possible to decorate each corner of the house but according to the look of your home you can try these.

1. Wall decors, which everyone used to fix only above the wall of sofa can be arranged at the corner walls also which will give a different and amazing look, try for opposite corners of living room to bring more beauty.have a look at the pic to get idea

2.Ask your carpenter to design corner shelfs as in the pic and fix it to one corner(mostly which leads to balcony) and put decorative items according to your taste.Your guests will be impressed a lot and even you feel pleasant while looking at them

3.Even you can construct a corner wall shelf and arrange things cleverly in the shelf which attracts the visitors make the door of the shelf a designer mirror which will increase the view of living room and its a space saving idea too.

4.Usually, glasswares and shelved in Kitchens and dining rooms.If you want to surprise and make them jealous of your glass ware collection, Fix a corner shelf for glassware in living room itself and arrange the items you have in decorative manner.I bet, you will be overwhelmed with the questions regarding the price and place where you bought the glassware(but be careful if you have kids, they may break them :))
