Please review this west facing apartment floor plan and share your thoughts and suggestions for the interiors. Thank you.

Finally moved into our new home, and it feels so surreal! The work was done by a designer who must be around 65 years old. He has been doing the interiors for my dad's friend for a long time, so we had a great reference. At first my mom and I were skeptical cause we thought old fashion sei design hongei. But he has great modern taste.
I also realized ki interior design is soooo expensive. In total, everything (including labor, electronics, etc.) cost upwards of 60 lakhs mainly cause focus was on getting best-quality items like ply hinges veneer and stuff
Do let me know your thoughts on the house!
Also the sofa is coming this week but I clicked before so the wallpaper and panelling is visible
And all photos are in 0.5x so everything looks smaller

Here's this space in the living room of our house in my native town. My dad wants a temple like set up from wall to wall and ceiling to floor with the door opening inwards and a small sitting area with the devalay inside. That would make the room smaller as it'll occupy at least 25% of the total space. The space from the end of the doorway (on the right hand side) till the wall is to be used for the mandir. Can anybody please suggest good designs aligning with the idea or any other alternatives? (with images would be just perfect)?

We have teakwood from our old 'wada' (traditional.marathi house) which can be reused to make this.

Area Dimensions:

L 10'4"

W 6'4"

H 10'1"

My room is too simple so which painting looks good because that will be a main part of the room it’s basically emphasis point so need help ..if someone have better option open for it .. Disclaimer:Room is done through A.I..

Hi all, I'm doing interiors for my 3BHK in Hyderabad and have my first quote (image attached, details hidden). It covers a TV unit, 3 wardrobes, a modular kitchen and some misc works.

I'd really appreciate advice on:

1. What questions should I ask the designer before finalizing?

2. What should I keep in mind while reading a quote like this?

3. What hidden costs or add-ons do people usually get hit with later?

4. What should be written into the contract?

5. How do I make sure the materials I'm promised are what actually gets installed?

6. Any red flags or negotiation tips from your own experience?

Also happy to hear any mistakes you made on your own projects so I can avoid them.

Thanks a lot!
