If you love that wallpaper, use it in bathroom. Not really right for behind bed. I would go a drum style chandelier. In a silk pale gold. Your bed looks zen or Asian to me. I love it. But, you don't. Need to much with it. Keep it simple a more formal drape on windows, color would depend on wall color and bedding. I'm thinking a dramatic peacock satin. Use a lighter same tone on walls a rich teal. Ceiling can be gold leaf. With alight that cast shadows on ceiling at night. Then your wall paper will tie in. Furn should be mirrored.

the 9' ceiling height will definitely help you with this. Here's what I would suggest (not knowing how far the side window is from the wall with the door on it: Use the wall with the door as the bed and closet/storage area. Build a closet, and put a loft bed at the top. Because it would have to be custom built, you can decide how high it is or how much storage you need. Kind of like this: [houzz=] or this: [houzz=] Can the space below the back window become a desk? And or/build a desk there with storage flanking it. Keep in mind that this isn't a very large room, and he'll probably want as much floor space as possible (at least my 8 year old does!).

Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

Does "open set back" mean your top floor wider and/or longer than your bottom floor and the floor of upstairs is cantilevered over the outside wall of the bottom floor? If you have a choice, I would not recommend you choose that type of plan. Installing heating duct and plumbing and gutter and even wiring in such plans can be more time consuming and costly and you lose some of the strength of the outside wall as well. I cannot read all the words on my screen, however, it is pretty obvious that your "lift" closet on one floor is NOT aligned with the wall of the stairs in the way it is on the other floor. I'm speculating that this "lift" is an elevator. You really need to have a conversation with your architect or builder -- perhaps even consider finding a new floor plan and a new architect or builder. Just glancing at the overall plan, you seem to have a lot of small rooms whereas a more open floor plan -- a great room rather than separate living and dining and kitchen space -- is more livable. Additionally, your small "common" upstairs area seems to be usable as little more than an unnecessarily large "hallway" space. You might consider other plans and ask questions of the builder from whom you're getting an estimate as to cost.
