Hi Hardik,

Although posting pictures of your house would really help, here are a few ideas for a bachelor pad. Take a look -

1] Large TV with a console for set top box, PlayStation, soundbar, speakers etc. A projector screen is optional. Comfortable and spacious seating that is also minimalist and easy to maintain.

3] Lots of pictures and posters from your favorite movies dedicated to one wall to add a personal touch. This also reduces the need for using wallpaper or other expensive wall coverings.

4] A basic functional kitchen with a dining table and few chairs. Go for modular if budget permits.

5] A compact yet functional bar. You can either go eclectic by using bright colours and go for steel chairs or go classy and opt for a bar with back-lit onyx or alabaster top and cushioned bar stools. Put up neon sign boards as they look quirky and fun.

6] A comfortable and cozy low lying bed with end tables and a lounge chair would go in the bedroom. You may also add a study here and there coupled with a small library and gadget storage.

7] Opt for a colour palette to make everything cohesive and choose the one that goes with the style you are looking for. A colonial style would demand browns, blacks, reds and beige whereas a contemporary would require black, grey, white, blue, violet etc. Try not to make everything too dark. Cut the monotony with neutrals like pastel grey, off whites and beige. A bright coloured wall as a highlighter would add drama to the space. Complete it with funky signboards or posters.

8] Keep the upholstery simple. Opt for solids and highlight with geometric. Go for rich fabric american pleat curtains with a textured silk, satin or linen finish or you may go for roman blinds too. Adding florals is a no no when it comes to a bachelor pad so strictly avoid. You may go for rugs and wallpapers if you like. Exposed brick walls also are in trend and look very attractive.

9] If space permits add a Foosball or a snooker/billiards table. (Only if you play and are fond of it. Your space should reflect who you are)

A lot depends on your age, the area your house offers and the budget you are looking at, according to which you can prioritize. Hope this inspires you. All the best!

Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

For the living room, the focus should be the balcony area. So flipping the couch to face the wall and not the dining table will help. Kind of like this pic. Even if you already have the sectional that is in the diagram, you should be able to flip it. In fact a sectional would probably work better than the couch in this pic. I also really don't like the style of this pic, but it showed what I meant, For the girls' room: No matter which bedroom you choose, you should maximize floor space so that they have the biggest play space possible in their room (as they get older you can add desks for school work and such). To get this space, I would give them bunk beds. This configuration gives them an open feel and more storage, essential for girls. You posted two different kitchen designs. This makes it hard to give you advice. I agree with other posts that your sink should be away from the wall. This allows you to have stuff to the left of you (drying dishes in my house), while you wash vegetables on the right of the sink. You need the same space on both sides of the stove, also. At least 24 inches on both sides is good. 36 is better, though. The first design has a nice little countertop space that adds a place for your daughters a space to sit a watch/ talk to you while you're in the kitchen. When they added this to the first design, you lost cabinets on the other wall. This is bad, as the space is already storage limited. Try making the rounded countertop bump out into the living space more. If you play with the shape, you could make it work without losing the cabinets on the other side. It doesn't have to be rectangular or a perfect circle. You can see how this one isn't confined to the floor plan of the kitchen. I think this is what you would need to do to make it the most functional.
