My drawing room front Window is going to be of around four feet wide. As the width of this room front wall is 10 feet out of which 3'6" will be kept for front entrance door. I am confused whether the sill height of the window should be 6 inches or 3 feet high as sofa is coming in front of it as my drawing room size is 10'0" * 14'0".

Hi Ardhendu, Double heights add a lot of light and volume to a space. However, a lot depends on the overall planning of the rooms around it and the resulting size of the slab cut out for the double height. If you are only left with a small shaft like space, it reflects poorly on the design. Also, the placement of the slab cut out is crucial in a living space considering movement, furniture placement, lighting and ventilation. It would be great if you could send us the proposed layout of your house for us to comment better. Else, please consult a local architect. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Sarabjit, height should not be an issue then. This much opulence is not in. I would recommend you to tone it down a bit .

ideal floor to ceiling height is 10'.living room size 12'x16' or 14'x20' according to your requirement.
