I have some suggestions if you are thinking budget friendly changes. Make a photo gallery with different size frames and arrange them parallel to the stairs, so you can enjoy each photo as you climb up. And for the area that will be on a level with your upper floor, try some pretty decal that will connect the photo gallery to upper level. And last, if you have budget add some beautiful hanging lights in the stairwell. Also think about repositioning your refrigerator.

Instead of temple with storage, go only for the temple, one open, spacious temple with some glass or any other treatment as per your budget. In the kitchen don't go for the show kitchen thing as you'll be needing dry platform for your gadgets. The sink shouldn't be near the cook top. The offset provided at the end of the main platform isn't correct, instead go for a 27" or 30" platform which is convenient to the cook. In bedrooms, there isn't enough storage. we require dimensions for rest of the layout furniture placement.

Theja , You may not need any treatment here. After your curtains come in there will be hardly any wall left. Instead you can do a panelling on the opening on the wall between red and yellow spaces. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore

Hello there, Facade or elevation treatment is a term frequently encountered in concepts of green buildings and sustainable architecture. It involves varying degrees of treatments starting from paints, textures, shading, illumination, orientation etc. to optimize the energy consumption and maximize day lighting. It uses four sides and roof of the building to minimize energy costs by installing Solar PV, Shading structures to prevent harsh daylight, landscaping, sandwich walling etc. Also, it is essential to ensure aesthetics of the building stay intact and go with the house theme itself. You could do a little experiment by yourself by tracing a solar trajectory for your current location and see how shading/ wall cladding improves your ambient indoor temperatures through facade treatment.
