I think they mean 5 rooms, not 5 bedrooms.....one master bedroom and 2 bedrooms for children with twin beds or bunk beds in each. I lived in a 1,300 sq ft house for 2 yrs with my husband and 2 sons. My suggestion would be to have an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining area and family room in one large room. Add a bar in the kitchen for casual dining. Be sure to include storage in family room for toys, games, etc. Add a built in desk in eiher the kitchen or family room areas . The master bedroom and bath should be large enough to accomodate a queen size bed and if possible a sitting area (maybe a bay window large enough for for a small loveseat or a couple of comfortable chairs). I would recommend a large walkin shower but no tub for the master bath. Instead have a nice size tub/ shower combo in the hall bath. Too make your house feel larger, use neutral camel, beige, gold or grey paint and carpet through out the kitchen, dining area, family, hallways and hallbath. If you want to add color, limit it to 3 bedrooms. Hanging all your window treatments at ceiling height will make your rooms feel larger and taller.

Hello dopcam, Compliments ! Its a great open kitchen. Please see if you like Century Almond Ivory 127 LU and Graphite Grey 238 LU combination. It will look awesome in this kitchen. As the sink is on the right wall it's not recommended place for an island. You may see if you like a standalone island . Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore

Studio Chippan has given good vastu based suggestions in the absence of directions. The guidance for the window seat is also sound. Alternatively a high window seat can be made with provision for storage beneath. The bed can be placed on the long wall (16’) in the centre or slightly on one of the sides so a sofa or a worktop can also be placed as required. If the bed is placed further from the door, a TV can be comfortably placed on the the opposite wall (outside the bathroom).

You don't need such a large double height ceiling for a small house, half of that size will do or remove it completely since you do have setbacks. You can remove the bedroom balcony and pantry which will end by being underutilized. Move bedroom toilet to where the balcony is or where the wardrobe is. Convert the family room to another bedroom. The double height space and current toilet of M. bed would then be your family hall
