In what country are you building this house? 9 foot or vaulted ceilings are taller than the US builder average of only 8 feet (this is the distance from the ground to the ceiling). If you have a small room, having a higher ceiling (even only 1 foot extra) will make the room feel more open and airy. In a small house of 1500 square feet, having high ceilings would go a long way in making it feel much larger than it really is. It is especially beneficial in a hot climate because heat rises so you will spend less on cooling costs. It is not so beneficial in a cold climate. It still looks nice, though!

Sharma - for a fellow, double hanging (stacked 40 - 44" areas each) accommodates most pants, shirts and blazers. There are systems with racks that lower and raise that make triple hanging for things out of season. Let's imagine four elevations - looking at the walls with the slanted ceilings and the end walls with window / doors. You have the most height between the doors - why not put double stacked hanging there for 6'? - Or do open shelves and drawers there the depths of the door itself. 16" - 20" is deep enough to store folded clothing - 14" will do a lot. On the long sides - draw a straight line across at the bottom of the slant - put stepping open shelves above and hanging underneath on the side without the window. Use double hanging for 2/3 of the length and full height hanging for the rest. On the large window side, consider a bench under the window, as a place to sit and put on shoes and socks. Perhaps on each side of the window, a chest of drawers. Let this be the side that gives the room personality - mirrors over the bureaus. Then, on the front wall with the charming window - consider shoe shelves underneath and on each side - these don't need to be more than 12" deep and they fit fine behind the hanging on the one wall - they just need about 16" distance between to access . . Look online at easyclosets.com - you may want to fabricate locally, but the online design tool should work well for you. Good Luck! - it is a lovely space. Use the higher shelves for heirlooms, costumes, seasonal and specialty gear.

example: winding staircase, source internet Little modification need to be done for entrance lobby opening, where you could accommodate a shoe rack and the complementary vertical wall can act as a amazing entrance decor wall wall in Kerala style heavy color play or texture/wall cladding with brass mural.. by doing this you get space to mount TV unit and a good space for sofa arrangement (make sure sofas are light as the space is less to accommodate baggy sofas), staircase can be made in the shape shown in sketch plan, with marble finish on the foot steps (or as per interiors), space in the bottom of staircase next to master bedroom wall can be utilized for chest of drawers or a tall furniture, make sure the staircase bottom part to be casted smooth in finish.

Hey Rohit, One thing we have learned that it is difficult to convert our weaknesses to strengths, but it is very doable! 42' of living and dining room space could be advantageous! off the top of our heads, here are a few things you could do. Split the space into formal and informal seating areas, basically creating 2 rooms (not counting the dining) in one space Push the dining in the middle of the room, closer to the middle bedroom, and add a swing near the balcony. In case the large size makes it uncomfortable, you can add a partition between the dining and balcony. and design the space in a way that opening the balcony doors, converts your indoors to outdoors, creating the feel of a terrace. lastly, the simplest of solutions would be to add a partition (solid or otherwise) to divide in room into 2 parts, a living space and a dining space! We hope this helps. In case you need Drawings to understand the space and out idea of the space utilization, please feel free to get in touch with us and we would love to work with you!
