Hi Satya, Guessing the work is almost complete, and you cannot make any changes to the architectural plans. In that case, a good design will save you from many challenges. For example in the dining room, which is your main area of concern, place a smaller 6 seater with two seats at the end of the table , or use materials like glass top with a slim wooden base and use light chairs . A neutral light colour will enhance the lighting and make the room visually larger, specially since you have a large window. Also think of using bench seating on the side which is narrower . If the structure is not complete, think of pushing out the bay window to the outer wall and enhancing the space inside for a larger dining room . A balcony might need not be as necessary as a good dining area which is not claustrophobic. Thanks, Smitha

Sir you can use Wooden textured ACP as it will be cost effective solution to cover Soil pipes and provide a modern look to facade .

Suvarchala, I am presuming that you do not want the doors to face each other due to privacy concerns. If that's right you wouldn't also want the guest/visitors to go to a bath in one of your rooms. Have you considered that before dropping off a common bath from the plan. If your neighbour has a door facing yours then you can also think about doing a mirror image of what respected member suggested above. I.e. door on the pooja room corner instead of the guest room corner. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

Rahul, You were advised in good faith about 24 inches door. Because of the bigger size the weight of the door increases and chances of it tilting towards far end of it increases . Wood has a tendency to warp a bit in a bigger door the effect is more visible, You may also need to support them with stronger hardware. And don't forget that bigger doors need bigger space in the room. Make sure you have sufficient space to open them. These are few suggestions that would help you achieve your goal . 1- Preferably use cut hinges made in brass otherwise increase the number of hinges by a pair to ensure load is taken care of. 2- You can reduce the height of doors by using external drawers in the plan 3- Coming to the shutters, go for atleast a genuine Century Winstar or Green Gold board for the shutters.This is a must. No compromises and no alternatives are recommended here. Don't use a ply for the shutter. Keep the shutters always closed and locked and use magnets to hold them in place. 4- Both sides of the shutter must be laminated properly in one go. You should be good if these are taken care of.
