I think they mean 5 rooms, not 5 bedrooms.....one master bedroom and 2 bedrooms for children with twin beds or bunk beds in each. I lived in a 1,300 sq ft house for 2 yrs with my husband and 2 sons. My suggestion would be to have an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining area and family room in one large room. Add a bar in the kitchen for casual dining. Be sure to include storage in family room for toys, games, etc. Add a built in desk in eiher the kitchen or family room areas . The master bedroom and bath should be large enough to accomodate a queen size bed and if possible a sitting area (maybe a bay window large enough for for a small loveseat or a couple of comfortable chairs). I would recommend a large walkin shower but no tub for the master bath. Instead have a nice size tub/ shower combo in the hall bath. Too make your house feel larger, use neutral camel, beige, gold or grey paint and carpet through out the kitchen, dining area, family, hallways and hallbath. If you want to add color, limit it to 3 bedrooms. Hanging all your window treatments at ceiling height will make your rooms feel larger and taller.

Hi Thea. Your new home looks amazing already (even without paint) - congratulations! You have plenty of visual interest with the stonewalls, balconies and stepped architectural features, so I would suggest you keep your colour scheme fairly low key and neutral so as to not compete (less is more, sometimes!). You could pick out the lightest coloured stone and work with that; if it's a grey tone, for example, choose a similarly toned paint colour.

Currently my living room color is Matt orange & ceiling wall is light beige. 1st Bedroom is dark and light yellow and 2nd bedroom is dark and light Green. All are Matt color & not glossy & all walls are TEXTURE walls excepting the ceiling (off course 1 wall is dark rest all are light). I need your help to know how do I plan it now which can compliment the existing color but i want a much lighter shade this time. My eyes on answer thanks :)

hello...I would like to suggest that for the balconies, close out the single doors and convert the walls into full length french doors for a contemporary look. also, the opening to the balcony from the puja room can be closed and can be made from the bedroom instead. that way the privacy of the pooja room is maintained
