The space looks composed and tight, if you want to use the Duct area avoid the swing door. Go for sliding door. you can create a wardrobe as a part of interior furnishing and can give a sliding door at the duct side with mirror , That will also serve as the changing unit mirror.

Thanks Atelier.
Won't the sliding door occupy the side wall (bathroom wall) and not let us use that space?
Can u elaborate on wardrobe idea, will a wardrobe come inside duct.? Sorry didn't understand

This is a dilemma indeed! Posts in the middle of rooms are always a little difficult. It would be helpful to have pictures of all four walls to suggest the best layout. From what I can understand of your dilemma, I've attached a layout that may work based on your description. It features a defined entry. So when you walk through the front door, you will see a console table with a couple of ottomans stashed beneath. They can come in handy for extra seating. In front of the console are two arm chairs, followed by a modular sectional - they make up your main seating area. To the right of the kitchen door is a TV console. Behind the sofa is a bookcase and to the right is a round table with a couple of chairs for games, paper work or what have you. You don't mention any windows. Is this the case? If so, we'll want to make sure you've got adequate lighting and colors that will work with the limited light. Hope this helps!

Depending on the budget, you could hack a portion of the wall "closed welcome passage" and put up a wall horizontally by the main entrance (creating a passage way to the living area. The window there should be able to shine a bit of light into the house. Replacing the wall between the living area and garage with Large glass panels would also help brighten up the house. At the same time, will give your house the elite concept (of having a vehicle in the living area) http://homememo.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kop-properties_sky-garage.jpeg Hope this helps. :)

With your original pictures - I agree with larger rug. But I don't agree with comments suggesting the rooms are monochromatic. They are lively indeed. I think you are just missing some accessories! Art work on the empty walls - even just a single large dramatic piece is in order. In the bedroom on the white wall, in the living space behind the sofa, in the greenish bedroom behind the two beds. Those are instant areas where you can improve. But I think your spaces are lovely and well put together. Also I agree with the comment about table lamps - some of those would really add something, and your coffee table looks so empty - maybe just one gorgeous bowl, or stack some books. These rooms are 90% done in my opinions, just need a few finishing touches. Some of my rooms come out like this because the clients are not willing to pay for those last few finish items or feel they can do that part themselves...

For the living room, the focus should be the balcony area. So flipping the couch to face the wall and not the dining table will help. Kind of like this pic. Even if you already have the sectional that is in the diagram, you should be able to flip it. In fact a sectional would probably work better than the couch in this pic. I also really don't like the style of this pic, but it showed what I meant, For the girls' room: No matter which bedroom you choose, you should maximize floor space so that they have the biggest play space possible in their room (as they get older you can add desks for school work and such). To get this space, I would give them bunk beds. This configuration gives them an open feel and more storage, essential for girls. You posted two different kitchen designs. This makes it hard to give you advice. I agree with other posts that your sink should be away from the wall. This allows you to have stuff to the left of you (drying dishes in my house), while you wash vegetables on the right of the sink. You need the same space on both sides of the stove, also. At least 24 inches on both sides is good. 36 is better, though. The first design has a nice little countertop space that adds a place for your daughters a space to sit a watch/ talk to you while you're in the kitchen. When they added this to the first design, you lost cabinets on the other wall. This is bad, as the space is already storage limited. Try making the rounded countertop bump out into the living space more. If you play with the shape, you could make it work without losing the cabinets on the other side. It doesn't have to be rectangular or a perfect circle. You can see how this one isn't confined to the floor plan of the kitchen. I think this is what you would need to do to make it the most functional.

I hope This reference sketch will clear your doubt, so the idea is to use the wardrobe mirror as the door unit that will slide inside the wardrobe on the toilet wall . The directions are not cleared so i dont know about the placement of bed an entertainment unit.

Awesome..appreciate ur efforts in making a sketch.
As I understood, the wardrobe to b made on the entire bathroom wall
Sliding mirror door at duct opening which slides behind wardrobe when opened
And overhead shelves above 7 ft height above mirror door, wardrobe and room entrance
Our furniture and tv placement is as in the attached pic.
Request to suggest

Hi Farooq, The furniture placement is going to be tight in 11ft room ( 18" for wardrobe + 30 " for circulation+ 60"-72" bed) at least 9ft will go in that (single bed )so u have a least space for walking alongside the window , so u cannot plan for shelves on the window wall.

The second arrangement can be to have the window on the back side of bed , king size bed with clear walking space on both side and place the TV unit on the front toilet wall,

so u will have the overhead shelves and single door shelve, drawers below tv unit, That will give you more open and clear space.

The window indicated in my sketch is not parallel to the wall but extended inside room by a feet i think... See the image in an external view
So the place is anyways can't be used inside do thought of using either side area for shelves

Hi Farooq,

As per your requirements you can use louvered doors for ventilation, as the reference images attached...

Hi ...I suggest u close that opening from bedroom ..make an opening from the bathroom ...the window in the bathroom can be broken to make an opening into the duct which can then be used from the bath room itself for washing purpose..both the areas then can just be separated with a plastic curtain .
