I think they mean 5 rooms, not 5 bedrooms.....one master bedroom and 2 bedrooms for children with twin beds or bunk beds in each. I lived in a 1,300 sq ft house for 2 yrs with my husband and 2 sons. My suggestion would be to have an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining area and family room in one large room. Add a bar in the kitchen for casual dining. Be sure to include storage in family room for toys, games, etc. Add a built in desk in eiher the kitchen or family room areas . The master bedroom and bath should be large enough to accomodate a queen size bed and if possible a sitting area (maybe a bay window large enough for for a small loveseat or a couple of comfortable chairs). I would recommend a large walkin shower but no tub for the master bath. Instead have a nice size tub/ shower combo in the hall bath. Too make your house feel larger, use neutral camel, beige, gold or grey paint and carpet through out the kitchen, dining area, family, hallways and hallbath. If you want to add color, limit it to 3 bedrooms. Hanging all your window treatments at ceiling height will make your rooms feel larger and taller.

Congratulations to all of you. Its a wonderful platform to be on and you all are doing a great Job. My favourite Design Style is 'Minimal'. I just have this strong connection with simple, subtle and elegant things. Cheers:)

The very first thing to be done while starting renovation is to collect images/photos of your dream villa from the internet or from any neighbouring site, that suits your style and way of living. See what all components i.e. furniture and furnishings i.e. door window, flooring, electrical fixtures, false ceiling, wall paints, fabrics, a.c. and modern amenities that you want to accommodate, their material, colour and texture, because that is what will serve as the foundation for your budget. The budget is the most important thing in this kind of projects. The budget vs your dream. for e.g. if you have imagined using wood, or some italian marble (which are quite expensive) in your home but if it doesn't go according to your budget then you must keep your alternatives listed and researched very well., which is the key consideration before starting any renovation project.

Hi there - I think if you are able to post any photographs at all with your question, you will have loads more helpful suggestions. People around here are just so visual! 🌈👍
