Comments (5)Is this a split level home? If is that would seem to work (specially for the plumbing part). If not, this would be a little different to go up stairs for the kitchen, (that's the hang out area). Ken...See MoreI need help to remodel the flat
Comments (10)Hi Ruchika, I you are only considering to buy thins flat, I would suggest don't. Here are the reasons why - 1] The entry foyer leads you to a very large unnecessary dining space while on the contrary the family and living areas are too cramped. 2] Entry to two bedrooms through the kitchen is a bad idea. 3] A lot of space has been eaten up by the utility making the maid's room way too small and without any kind of storage. The utility also has very poor ventilation in terms of a small window and the maid's room has one looking into the duct. 4] Way too many service ducts. They could have been minimized by conscious design decisions. Mirroring and pairing bathrooms to share a duct is one way to do it. 5] Creating another bedroom would only mean compromising either on the family room and you will be left with a small living area. 6] Although the plan shows a carpet area of around 1900 sq.ft., the effective usable area is way less thanks to so many small corridors and passages. 7] Bedroom 1 has no wardrobe space at all whereas there is a huge storage in the foyer. The wardrobe space in bedroom 2 cannot be used if a TV unit is provided there. 8] Incorporating civil changes would only increase your expense and not achieve much. It is better you look for a different design altogether. Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur...See MoreNeed advice on kitchen design
Comments (19)Going with professional has its own advantages. Afterall he is pro, so he has studied more and has more experience. However is this person from the kitchen shoppee, which is giving you quotation of kitchen installation? In such cases, I have experienced that they just make boxy kitchens where they add lotsa fittings, that increases your budget. Open shelves does not need such fittings, so such are omitted...Normal door wali cabinets are less and number of drawers increased. Going on own is not a bad idea, provided you need to study it well. Note down the requirements, classify work areas and so on... In this approach , you have to go bit slower and carefully. Allow some flexibility in design, so that in future , you can alter as per the need. Sometimes we come to know the problems after few months/ years and we cant change it later. Ultimately compare between [your time+ efforts+ study+ error chances] Vs Hiring professional and go ahead accordingly....See MoreHelp needed for below stairs space
Comments (34)Just because you want to use the space below the stairs, do not just add drawers or shelfs unless you reaalllyyy need it. I would suggest go for adding something green to your house. Its healthy by adding air purifying plants. These plants are nowadays available in most of the nurseries and moreover Green patch in the house gives a beautiful look to the house and is also good for eyes ( the green color). Below are few picture to motivate you for Green patch or Indoor garden....See MoreMayo Custom Kitchens & Baths LLC
