You may also want to consider a screen or pass-through bookcase to visually divide the "bedroom" area from the living area. I like your table and platform bed ideas. Consider whether the radiator will have enough room to "radiate" with a bed against it though. www.twitter.com/216Sharon

No sunken anything. Miserable to vacuum and place furniture and tripping hazard and soooo dated. There are lots of house plan books you can get in the magazine section of Barnes and noble. I would start there and then consult an architect when you are clearer on what you want.

Hello Kayzad Shroff & Maria Leon! I'm designing my bedroom all by myself and now I want it to seem like I'm living among a rainforest. So I went for wooden times, veneer laminate wardrobes. The bed will be a platform bed so it'll be low to the ground. I'm now stuck with the ceiling and the wall opposite to the headboard. I thought of wall murals, but that particular wall has windows on the right side, so can't get the wall murals/wallpapers to give that Forest feel. So could you help with your suggestions?

Yeah @Isuru. @Rajesh, For the open kitchen you need to consider few points 1) Your cooking pattern--- The kitchen cooking aroma will spread in the whole house . Understand the intensity and think twice. 2) The place should or must always be clean as its open . 3) There is no service area or wash area provided in the kitchen. 4) Access from porch is as good as one of the main entrance passage for outsider, if the guest is entering from there, you will have to consider to keep it presentable all the time. There are so many points to consider while making or designing as open kitchen and your kitchen is nearby the main entrance. So please think considering all the points and decide.
