Hi Padmaja, im pooja talwar, for maximum utilization of space u need to break in balconies if u have one and get french windows right till ground level. so you can have a lovely dining area there or low ground sitting area where u can get outside view and spacious look too. doors which open inwards or outwards can be split into 2 so the door flaps become smaller . use mirrors huge ones carved ones on walls to reflect a larger room. also u will have to place furniture which is smaller in size . shoe racks , and cabinets can be made tall instead of having it on ground .... place on the wall hanging shelves , tall cabinets , and storage cabinets. tv can be placed on wall done up with wooden pannel. have storage up on ceiling edges rather than any where down. hope these lil suggestions help you

Hi Pawan. Painting on laminate is an easy process. There is no special paint required. One can easily paint over laminate with Oil paint. Use a Satin finish Oil paint to avoid the gloss. However if the furniture is not made in plywood, & made of Particle board, MDF or engineered wood, it is not advisable to do any finish over it as its susceptibility to expansion and discoloration from moisture absorption. Regards

Its just really messy right now. Too many colours and clashing prints. Is that Puja unit lime green? Or does it just appear that way because of lighting? Either way, it stands out like one more distraction. Pick one base colour add and add prints that go with that base. That TV unit HAS to go. So do that black metal coffee table and the carpet. I would suggest you go with a simple geometric print in the carpet. But apart from these obvious design gaffes, the structure has distinct possibilities, if you do a classic English style. The railing above adds some interest

Hey Annie, Why don't you play with warm oak and black on your exterior. Let the cantilevered verandah and garage door be black along with the trim and the window jambs. and you can board the rest up with warm white oak?
