Build a two story with a garage under the top story. It will have to be long and narrow lot is not wide. 4 bedrm s will be tight, looks like you only have rm for about 1200 sq ft incl garage. Or you could put front door on side behind garage and stairs inside to go up to bedrooms and bath rooms. Have a small bathroom downstairs. With living area and kitchen, with dining area.

coming to the dining area..yes id say you remove the seating entirely and concentrate on a foyer area since you already have space for a drawing room on the floor.. id suggest erecting a glass and marble wall in line with the wall that runs between the pooja room and the bedroom..say a bit of marble-glass-marble-glass-marble.in this case you have a small foyer area demarcated by this wall feature.you can deck it up by placing a nice console table in front of the central marble wall with a nice mirror to reflect the space and make it look larger or a sculpture with beautiful bracket lights on either side to accentuate the same.and on the backside of this wall you could have a crockery unit with a huge painting or a cluster of family snaps above it. if you could brief me a little on the look you're adapting for your house i could suggest some more treatments for the walls.if you want to avoid using too much marble you could also opt for a marble wood and glass look where you could take out some concealed storage for shoes etc. regarding the drawing room - what about a huge 4 seater in the center instead of 2 - two seaters with a table in the middle as in the plan..if you remove the central coffee table maybe you could replace the single seater with a chaise for 2 and also replace the 2 center tables with a nice long table in the center with an area rug running below it..if you could help me with the room dimensions maybe we could add 2 pouffes in front of the 4 seater so it creates more seating and doesnt obstruct the view if you plan to put a TV on the wall. what look do you have in mind for your terrace garden ? something zen or a little rustic toeing on the lines of the contemporary ? sorry for the late reply as i was travelling.. hope this helps! :)

hi guys we are planning to get our duplex 4bhk villa paint. any help with bright color suggestion with color codes for living room, drawing room, duplex stair wall and master room will be highly appreciable. my choice for color beige, white and such color family. please help. tia

Mahesh, I am a bit confused when you said 'ceiling lights' would be too bright. Both panel lights and COB are ceiling lights. Assuming that you meant panel lights would be too bright . So both these lights come in different wattages 3w to 50 w which in-turn decide the brightness and not particularly the type of light. Panel, Down or COB lights have different purposes and usage and should be selected based on functions. E.g. COB is used for highlighting a particular object whereas Panels are for diffused lighting a particular area. There are quite a few factors in lighting which should be considered to plan the illumination properly. An electrician may not be a ideal person to suggest the type that will enhance/diminish the value of the house. Visit a philips gallery and understand your usage or seek professional help.
