Hi mehakrchaudhry. Looks like a great apartment! I wouldn't plan on bunk beds for now since it will be a while b/f they can safely use them. Chalkboard walls are fun and very gender neutral but, at this age, you have to be very happy w/just lots of scribbles on the walls. Not saying that's bad - just something to think about! Are you in the apartment already or it is just being built? Lyvonne www.essentialsinside.com

Sure but right now the room is bare as it has recently been built

Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

Hi, Do you want to demolish the old house completely? You haven't shown the staircase in your new plan. The kitchen size mentioned by you is too big. I think 10x15 means kitchen and dining space both. For any help you can contact me on 7838154046 or write to me on pkassociates8@gmail.com.
