I think the work triangle will be off if the sink is far a way from the main kitchen(is that what you are thinking) Why not take the wall out from the utility room and run the cabinets into there and and make a long U shaped kitchen with out the small peninsula with sink and leave the bedroom as is because once you start this the doorway into the kitchen will have to be moved and a 10 x13 kitchen will really not have enough room for any thing except some stools somewhere for mini dining. I would get a counter depth fridge and build it into the far right hand wall in the utility room with a bank of pantries on either side of the fridge and then your sink on the wall next to the bath rooms. So this would look like a galley kitchen with the pantries and fridge at the end .

Hi Esha, One option is of course to highlight it, as rightly pointed out by Hyphen Designs. The other is to add more beams to the ceiling and turn it into a design element for your space. Attaching some pictures for your reference. depending on the look of the space - you could choose how rustic you want to go with the kind of wood you use. you could clad the existing beam in wood and add maybe 2-3 more to introduce a pattern through repitition. if you find solid wooden beams a little too heavy, you could let them be finished in POP and paint and add some wood only at the base - just to create that highlight. and if you're ok with the wood - you could also probably add more beams than just 2-3 and give the ceiling a distinct look - like in this picture depending on the furniture layout you could highlight the singular beam in your room by painting it another colour or better still - i would stick to wood and maybe hang some lights or a nice installation that would add character to the space. if you dont like the wood.. you could probably add split levels to the ceiling coming out of the beam and highlight them by introducing some indirect tray lighting that would accentuate the levels. hope this helps!

For new homes: 1. Window Height. Installing windows that are at least 3.6 feet high helps indoor air movement and also reduces the heat load on ceilings. 2. Wind/Air deflectors. These can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to redirect air flow and can be installed in the form of overhangs, louvers or slats and should be placed on a higher level to redirect air motion. 3. Clerestories. Clerestories not only provide natural illumination, but can also improve air movement. Since hot air is known to go upward, a clerestory is able to act as a vent and space for the hot air to accumulate. 4. Window orientation. Windows should be placed on the north and south areas for optimum cross-ventilation, unless it hinders aesthetic views. This encourages natural breeze and draws in good air flow into interiors, especially during the summer months. 5. Transitional spaces. Incorporate courts, balconies, atriums and other open spaces that encourage air flow.

Jai, It looks recently repaired. please check with the contractor about the feasibility before you purchase. The swing hooks come with 4 anchor bolts each side which will be sufficient for the requirement . Thanks. Amit Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore
