Dining Room - Feng Shui Tips


The dining room is a place where you take meal, spend time with your family and friends.This room should be a calm and peaceful place. Lighting is an important element in creating a good dining. The flow of energy through the dining room should be gentle but not stagnant.

A mirror will help to improve the chi flow in the dining room. A mirror facing your table will double your food, the sign of riches and plenty: perhaps the center piece can be a full bowl of fresh, crystal, juicy fruits.

Use round, oval, or octagonal shaped tables.
Your dining room shouldn't be too close to the front door.
Always try to eat facing one of your best directions.
It is also very important to choose a table that fits the size of your area to make sure there is enough room to walk around the table (equal space around the whole table works best).
A faceted crystal ball or crystal chandelier over the center of the dining table will help to balance chi in the room.

Always use soft lighting in the dining room
Be careful of sharp angles form wall partitions or furniture pointing at you: soften them by hanging crystal balls or a plant in front of them.

Kitchen Cum Dining - Spend A Quality Time

The kitchen is the heart of the home so by creating an open plan area that combines the dynamics of cooking, eating and living, adds real value – not just in terms of monetary worth, but in terms of quality time too. Whether a small breakfast bar in a W1 pied à terre or a 12-seater table in a cavernous loft apartment, it’s a space that will be used from breakfast through suppertime and beyond and one which feels distinctly more contemporary and urban than a formal dining room.


In the zone:-

Think carefully about where to define your areas of activity. You don’t want guests in your way while you’re preparing food but you do still need to be able clink glasses with them. The kitchen island is a good way of naturally dividing the space and if you choose one with a tall backsplash (which can also support a breakfast bar) it’ll hide the preparation clutter and dirty dishes too. 

Try to position the eating area as close to natural light as possible. If you live in a house the optimal view is over the garden. If budget allows you could open up your kitchen to the outside space by installing French windows or floor to ceiling glass – a dramatic contemporary statement. If you live in a flat position your table next to a window. If your kitchen/diner is big enough to allow for a separate ‘living area’ try to anchor this space with a focal point such as a fireplace or sofa and coffee table. If space is more limited you could introduce a nook or alcove to the plans. This is a great way of creating a little privacy in an otherwise busy room – ideal for homework, office work, reading or chatting on the phone. 

However you arrange the room just make sure that people at the table can pull their chairs back freely and have room to move around without traversing obstacles. 

The rules of light:-


In the kitchen/diner you can reinforce the notion of separate ‘zones’ with distinct lighting for each of the areas, for example in the cooking and preparation area of the kitchen you’ll need task lighting. You can also adjust track lights to illuminate a particular area and angle spot lights over say, a painting. In the dining area low-hanging pendants on dimmer switches will create atmosphere, particularly if combined with low-level lighting. If there’s an area that’s often used for reading or working, a funky anglepoise lamp will work perfectly. 

Style advice:-


This is the area of your home with the highest footfall and passing traffic so it needs to be easy to keep clean, particularly if you have children. Use paints which are wipeable and if your chairs are upholstered make sure the covers can be easily removed and washed. Steer clear of carpets – where lots of food is being served the inevitable spillages will happen. And try to harmonise the styling of the kitchen and eating areas. The rustic Tuscan themed dining area will jar unhappily with an industrial stainless steel kitchen, but add a glass table and white leather chairs to the mix and it’ll work perfectly. 

The air we breathe:-


The smell of cooking is delicious in the kitchen but not so great in the bedroom so to prevent odours wafting from your open-plan into other areas of your home you’ll need effective ventilation ducted through the roof or exterior wall. A cooker hood with a strong extractor fan is an essential investment. 

Declutterbug:-


If you’re knocking a wall down to create a new space you might have to sacrifice some high level cupboard space. If so choose an island or a peninsula which can offer up valuable cupboard and drawer storage. Do bear in mind that in the open-plan space all your clutter, preparation, utensils and foodstuffs are in full view of your guests so be ruthless with what what’s allowed worktop residency.

Home Decor - False Ceiling is Must

  • When another ceiling is installed beneath the original, it is referred to as a drop ceiling, suspended ceiling or false ceiling. Its purpose is to hide such things as the heating and air-conditioning ductwork, wiring, pipes and anything else that needs to run from one area to the next. Other reasons for installing a false ceiling are thermal insulation, soundproofing or something to accommodate a change in lighting, such as recessed lights.

Metal Strips :-

  • You can buy long metal strips in a variety of colors to add a different dimension to your ceiling. These have a base piece that hangs from the original ceiling and the metal strips latch into the base. The final result is very streamlined and without gaps.

Pressed Metal Panels :-

  • Pressed metal includes tin, aluminum, copper and any other metal you can think of that has been made into a panel for the ceiling. Some manufacturers have started making an interlocking grid that the tiles slide into. When that isn't available, use the traditional metal suspended ceiling grid, with some modifications to adjust for the size of the metal panels. Another option is to use strips of wood that the metal panels can be tacked onto.

Fiberboard Panels :-

  • This is what most people think of when they think of ceiling panels and false ceilings. They are called fiberboard because they are made from a mix of fibers from wood or cane and chemical binders that are pressed into flat panels. These are typically installed by resting them on a metal grid installed across the entire ceiling. Special chemical treatments can also be added to these for fireproofing and moisture resistance.

The New Land Acquisition Bill of India



Highlights of the Bill :-


The states are free to frame their own laws and if they so desire, are free to improve upon the provisions stipulated under the proposed bill. It allows flexibility to the state government on whether or not to intervene on behalf of private players in land acquisitions . 

The urgency clause can only be invoked in national defenses and for security purposes; R&R needs in the event of emergencies or natural calamities. Now, farmers will get only four times the market price in the rural areas while in urban areas it will be double the market price. 

In any case, the R&R package will be applicable only when the private parties acquire 100 acres or more land in the rural areas and 50 acres or more in urban areas

The promised R&R for those subsisting on the acquired land will now be applicable only to those who have been eking out a livelihood for at least three years on that piece of land. Earlier, all those sustaining themselves on the acquired piece of land were made eligible for compensation. 

While the purpose of acquisition can't be changed, the bill, however, now allows transfer of land with the approval of the state government; if the transfer is made without any development of the land, the farmers will have to be paid 20% of the appreciated value

The bill specifies timelines for the payment of compensation. The price of land has to be paid within three months of the award, and the other monetary compensations within six months and the infrastructure entitlements under the R&R package within 18 months. Penalties will be levied on violation.
