Congratulations to all of you. Its a wonderful platform to be on and you all are doing a great Job. My favourite Design Style is 'Minimal'. I just have this strong connection with simple, subtle and elegant things. Cheers:)

What is the dimension of your bathroom? Looks like 4 feet wide, can't make out on length though. Glass partition or tiles partition for shower would help to keep your bathroom clean and dry and revamp look drastically. Wall hung WC is must, again from cleaning and look perspective. If window is not providing any light ( though your photo suggests some light coming from window) this area can also be used for multipurpose. You are welcome for more queries. Tiles selection can be decided based on a theme as well.

Coffee tables are the focal point of your living room. Whether its a small family gathering or a house party, everyone will end up using it – eventually! Styling this standalone piece of furniture can really help you create an impeccable surface that every guest appreciates. Stuck on how to style your coffee table? Here are some steps to follow and you’ll nail it like a pro. Define your style Choose a theme that matches the overall decor style of your house. It can be contemporary, modern, vintage, eclectic, bohemian or any other. Use a tray, bowl or a stylish plate You coffee table can’t look too pristine or too cluttered that there’s no space left for mail, documents or afternoon tea. Instead, you want to go for a beautiful yet practical aesthetic. Trays are excellent way to make a stack look clean and confined. Use rule of three to group items For decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. The easiest way to use rule of three is by creating three stacks or grouping three different items together. Make a personal design statement We tend to save objects like family memories and souvenirs for bookshelves or console tables. Items like a family heirloom piece, your DIY project or even a memento from a memorable trip can have more impact when placed on a coffee table, where people congregate. Don’t be afraid of throwing in a few unexpected personal items – especially ones with interesting backstories. Living element Plants are a great way to add some nature to your interior decor, and coffee tables are one of the best places to show them off. Add a dash of green and contemporary style to your tabletop with some of these plants (or any other) – succulents jade plant money plant aloe cactus moss baby rubber plant spider plant string of pearls Play with heights One mistake people often make with their coffee table is displaying too many objects of the same height. Play with the heights and scale of objects to give structure to your composition and make it more dynamic. It also adds visual interest. Stack books Books make for excellent decor subjects. Each has something awesome and unique about it. It’s definitely something to draw inspiration from. Using books as raises for knick knacks is actually visually pleasing and organized. The book stack also adds height to the display. Lastly, they add character and a personal touch. Coffee table styling is a bit of an art. Above all else, consider how you use your coffee table before you choose how to style it. A table may be expertly styled but it wont be functional if it doesn’t serve the purpose that its owner has in mind. P.S. – Hey people. If you find this useful then do like, comment and share.

Hi! This is my first post on here- sorry in advance for the length! We recently purchased this 1930s colonial and we are renovating to make it more functional for our lifestyle. We just got engaged, no kids yet but hope to in the future. We love the charm and character of the house (millwork, crystal knobs, red oak floors) but it needs some work. It was also in a great location for us, close to family and where we grew up. Here are my dilemmas/concerns/questions: The previous owners had an addition put on in the back (9x6.5) in the kitchen area which is where the sink and dishwasher are. Problem is it creates an awkward corner and weird layout. We were thinking of knocking down the wall between DR and kitchen as it is non load bearing. But wondering if bumping out that corner / reworking the back area would be better as there is a lot of space back there , but we also are on a somewhat tight budget so I realize that may not be a possibility right now. Previous owners also converted a closet into a powder room on first floor which is great to have but really blocks the flow of everything, I would love a hallway that you could see through to the back of the house from the foyer / entryway. Just feels so cramped there. Painter had said that in order to paint the wall up the stairwell, he would need to remove the posts on the staircase which I definitely don't want to do. I was wondering about relocating the powder room, maybe under the stairs, to create more of a thruway space? I would really love to create a space for a washer dryer on this level too. Since there's already plumbing there, wonder if this could be done around the powder room? Or would this really interfere with my idea of the open hallway? I don't hate the idea of a separate, formal dining room, and would keep that wall if we could, to maintain that original aspect. However with eventually having kids I feel like we would need somewhat more of an open plan so that I could have eyes on the living room in some way / while cooking in the kitchen? I realize my wish list is large, and there may be some contradictions in there. But overall, just trying to create a plan to work towards, do what we can now, and have something to work towards in the future. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Pictures attached! Kitchen with addition Addition side view Red door is exterior door that leads to basement steps Door in kitchen - leads to 3 steps down and landing. to the left is exterior door, to the right is stairs to basement. The wallpaper wall is the other side of the powder room. other view of the (not sure what to call this?) Stairwell next to powder room Powder room again. they must have bumped out 1ft to allow for sink (approx. 8 inch sink) exterior photo for reference (shutter/color will be painted....not sure of color) Side porch with the two french doors from living room. Ideally someday, would like to tie the side yard to the back/patio area somehow. (again - long list) Thanks again for any/all help!!! General floor plan done with our appraisal but it doesnt include dining room/interior walls, also the side entrance is on the wrong wall. The left side of the staircase is where the powderroom is. Floor plan I drew. Sorry its a little hard to read.
