Hi Divya, The best initial steps are to talk to a few designers to see who feels right for you. From experience its hard to establish everything you may need help with before you meet. An initial consultation to get a better understanding of the brief and also give you an idea of the designer is a great idea. After the first meeting we try to establish exactly what areas to focus on. We sometimes call this a reverse brief. The designer can then quote on an hourly basis or by the work that is specified. Let me know if you require any further assistance Leigh

Dear Pushpesh, Designing is a subjective and collaborative work and it relies on various aspects like Budget, lifestyle, context and more. Providing proper and complete information is the first step of a successful project. Interior Designing is demanding and takes a lot of effort as along with robust space organizations, it demands a lot of attention while using finishes, patterns, materials, colors, textures and many more. Also it might be a big expense as compare to Architecture. Your above post shows you are vary clear with what you want and looking a good quality work. I will advise you to consult a professional assistance as it will add value to your design and will also enhance the final result of what you are expecting. You can contact me for further more. Thanks and Regards Ar. Ravi Prakash 8882204074 ar.ravi2013@gmail.com

haha you have a great problem! refer to the attached sketch plan,roughly 12'x6'10" will be your kitchen and utility you can accommodate a fridge, a washing machine, sink for washing utensils. keep it combined kitchen + utility. for guest bedroom, bathroom will be 4'x6'10" exactly, comfortable and as per standards. and my suggestion would be keep the living as living as by going the changes to kichen area you will get a wall where you can mount a TV . and placing a small dining table will serve as breakfast table, and also use your dining room as a study our your own personal leisure space. and about the costing part, there will be a lot of civil work involved , demolition, water proofing of new bathroom, plumbing for bathroom, new accessories new tiles. consider a range amount of 10 lakhs to 20 lakhs depending upon finish, chosen contractor rates and specifications. these are very rough figures.
