I strongly second One Plan's idea about looking for another architect. If this one is not motivated, all the fame in the world is not going to help. An alternative approach to finding an architect is to find some good contractors who have built things you like. Ask them for architects' names. Make sure they work in your price range. In the meantime, you can find out from your local building department what the set back and height restrictions are. Are you required to build parking areas or garage space, what kind of airspace restrictions do you have for neighbors' views and sunlight, that kind of thing. Often this stuff is on city websites or handouts at the office.

Its a really lovely room! what a great place for kids to share. I like kids sharing rooms. I think you need another colour to tie it together. I would suggest a blue tone.... teal, navy blue, duck egg blue. to tie it together. Its a little to pale and looks sparse, but actually isn't. I would leave everything exactly as is, BUT, paint the back wall behind the bed teal and find a simple navy blue wall decal that is fun and kid- like maybe one with a sillouette of a boy and girl playing. I would paint the wall behind the sofa duck egg blue. Then I think it would suit both kids more and look more kid friendly. the blues will balance the pink and cream, but because you have a pale carpet i don't think it will look too dark. don't worry about making it totally kid like, its a room they will grow with, not a kindergarten, and it also needs to peaceful and restful for sleeping. besides with their art on the walls and bright toys everywhere it soon looks bright and kid like. Good luck!

Hi, You can have a sofa bed for bedroom. Having sofa bed would make space for bookshelf and study table. -Thanks, -Neelam -Lines and Profile

Hello Houzzers! After a hectic day's job, we all need (and crave) to have a good night's sleep... don't we? The designer/architect must have helped you in setting up the layout, the wall colours, temperature control etc. for a comfortable experience. But what extra do you do to create your own personal bedroom retreat that makes you feel cosy and calm? I cannot go to sleep in a cluttered bedroom. I choose cleanliness over everything. What do you do? Do you use diffusers for fragrance? Do you opt for comfy linen? Or do you play slow music to bed? Vote for your top hack and share details in the comments section to help other Houzzers! Thanks!
