Hi, There are a number of ways in which the area under a staircase can be utilized. In case of a cramped house or space restrictions, this space can be used for providing storage, services or even a powder room as elaborated below : In case there are no space constraints and all the other areas are taken care of, the space below the stairs can be used for add ons such as a library, study, cellar or a minibar. In case there are any dogs in the house, this area serves as a spacious and compact kennel too : Apart from this, if the space is to be treated solely considering aesthetics, it can be livened up using a bit of indoor landscaping, sculptures and water body : Hope these ideas help. Do let us know what you decided to choose. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Hi Rupal, Thanks for your suggestion. The layout is as attached. I cannot move the door which is opening into the balcony. The other door is the room entrance door. Unfortunately I cannot change any of the doors though I agree sliding would be nicer. Would would recommend in the current setup? Thanks

My humble opinion is one needs space in the bedroom to walk around, dress or for yoga, stretching, etc. But this is just my opinion, not imposing it. I have a similar size bedroom and am struggling with space, there is a big wardrobe occupying 48x24 space on the floor and a mini Godrej Almirah, which I cannot get rid off for sentimental reasons(!). Plus I have a small readymade computer table. My bed is twin single beds put together and is 60"x72". Space is a big problem, so I liked your Layout 1. Would you consider the TV to be mounted in the bottom right corner? Is it a large screen TV?

To make space for 3 study tables including your wife's, you must get rid of the steel almirah. Have an extended open wall shelf of 3 rows for books & storage & 2 spaces next to each other for desktop/laptop where there is currently one. The right side wall near the small kids table can be made into soft board for ideas etc and then have the marker board next to it. Above this table can be small open squares for toys/books etc. Use eco blinds instead of curtains to regulate light & cool the room if you want to make the space serious. Remove the clutter under AC and have cushions/fabric seater to make it a lounge area instead. Use mutiplugs or extn wires to reduce wiring. You may consider a good quality designer fan with pendant LED light which will amplify lighting and ensure silent reading or studying. Else, use an effective LED tube on both sides with a blue themed fan.
