Eventually when you come to resell, a pool is an added plus. But for your own purposes, emptying the pool and adding a deck over it with a hinged door and steps placed below would be great for storage (as per option b but bearing in mind you could revert). All the best for your lovely new home.

What is your climate? And any activities you want for each terrace? Dining? Kids' play space? A water feature of some sort would be lovely. Could add some fake lawn (putting green even!) for part. This product has come a long way!

Hello there, When you are going for wooden and concrete texture, the decor you need to put must complement the interiors. If going for traditional and rustic finishes, athangudi tiles would really help for outdoor and indoors as well. They go seamlessly well with wooden textured tiiles/ wooden floors/ Try to add wooden rafters/ slats to sitouts and balconies to enhance a few aesthetics. If going for contemporary finish, try IPS (Indian Patent Stone) flooring for outdoors and indoors as well. These are basically concrete slabs with iron oxide paints on top and come in a wide array of colors including copper sulphate blue. If planning for cement tiles, try Bharat Floorings . They have been manufacturing concrete tiles for almost century. Blue with wooden, if used generously, lends a beach house/ marine theme to overall decor . If that's your preference, then do not hesitate for a moment. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

hi Archana.. you could maybe panel the column and beam with slats.. and go for a thick fabric headboard that is backlit.. also, the thickness of the headboard in this will be lesser on the coulmn side and more on the wall side (almost like a ledge on which you could rest an abstract artwork painting) the wall can be done in simple paint or a brick/concrete texture or a wallpaper. attaching a picture of one of my designs for another side have similar issue.. hope that helps! best of luck and regards, Rajvi
