Below is the floor plan with the suggestions you made. I drew them in red. The bench by the window is really nice but I don't think you have the space to put one. To put one you would need to build a 2 ft wall and have the bench there but it would mean you have no room for a second night table.

As for the shelves, I drew them in red where the television is. If the shelves are 1 ft deep, it means that when you enter the room you would need to go around them to get to the closet. I believe if you really want them, you will need to move the door for the bedroom or make the shelves 6 in. or less.

Also, you mentioned that one sink was good. Your vanity is wide enough that one sink alone would look to empty. But I see 2 options: one is to have to sink and have a 18" wide storage on top of the vanity or you could have one sink with 2 storage 8 ft high by 18" wide. See the 2 options below.

Oh my, I step away for awhile and everything has changed. Glad Fred is on board. Glad to see the wet room pic - thx Fred. Pankaj did you ever reply to my question about how you prefer to enter the bathroom? I think Opt #2 may still be viable too. That's if you don't mind this type of entry into the bathroom. The shower could stay by the window if it is indeed set up like Fred mentioned. I personally would want to move the toilet from the original location regardless.

Hopefully we can get a reply to all the things I am assuming before we go too far in another direction. It is around 1 AM there. These thoughts are just based on other projects I have worked on from India and may not all apply.

I would not mix LED and CFL they have different looks and LED s are much cheaper to run. You can find a fixture you like and switch out most with LEDs, we have been slowly changing all of our halogen lighting to LEDs now that the LEDs come in higher wattages. We have 70 halogen lights in our house so I am doing 12 at a time, love the change. I like the fact that you can have a lot more lights off the same circuit too.

first of all, Thank you guys for those valuable inputs. yes, as far as cleaning goes, its just been finished installing and I have asked them to clean them up. And also, I observed that the frosting on the glass didn't look that good, so I am going for the filming on certain portions of the doors n windows. - Is there a particular quality of films that I may choose for this ? - Yes, lighting is definitely the criteria I had in mind which can bring up the finish to this. And i am worried about this , as I did not go for False Roofing, bcos the ceiling is already at a low height. I should really refine my ideas on the lighting part. - the stairs are floored with white Marble stone..My mom loves it and the matting on it might hinder its beauty, but yes I will surely consider that as well. Thank you again.

Hey Amy

I too feel option two is good and let's us finalise the same

Suzanne

I don't think reading area wod fit in the room so we have to leave it... The toilet is installed In wall f and is correct according to Vaastu used in India

If we use the same option as per builder then we get a dry zone in the bathroom from wall k/l till d....

I just have a confusion what to be done there.....

Freinds let's finalise the things... After a long discussion I think I can see my room geting good

thanks Fred

for joining the discussion...

Yes this building is mainly built of concrete and all the walls in play here are concrete except the two new ones in the bathroom

it have only one door as the plan was modified by us to make by room bigger and get the room as per vaastu follwed here.

The bathroom window frame is aluminum.

You are correct that standard bathroom in India is what you might call a wet room as per your picture, i have done the modifications to create a dry zone and wet zone as used in western countries..

Pankaj, do you see your bedroom and bathroom like in the floor plan below?

I think the window in the bathroom is fine. Now that I have a better idea of what is a standard bathroom in India, I believe your builder is correct the way he did it. I think you don't need to change the size of the window but you certainly need to frost it.

I think your wash basin is big enough to have room to put towels under just like in the image.

As for the closet, it is hard to say how big is the closet in the image you showed us but I think yours will be smaller. However, I think you still have a pretty good size closet. Personally I would be happy to have a closet that big.

Pankaj, according to the builder of the above the dimensions of that closet is 11'6"x7' with a 3'4" walkway at its most narrow point (the countertop area). Your's would be slightly longer and more narrow but the difference is somewhat negligible.

Pankaj, I think your wash basin is so big, it will look too empty if you don't have 2 sinks. As for what to do to fill the space on wall D, I don't know really. You could put a plant on the corner and add a nice big wall art between the wash basin and the plant. In the floor plan below, I also added a long mirror on wall B and a bench on wall I.

Let me know if you want other changes. Once you are happy with the floor plan, I will email it to you.

Panjak, your wall design behind your bed is really nice. I think for the television wall, you can do something like what your dad has.

I am going to email you the last floor plan now :).

I am also going to look at your discussion on your formal living room.

Hi Pankaj, I am putting these images together here because I keep getting lost. I think the North-South direction is wrong on one of them. This could be important for later conversations about Vaastu.

Another couple questions occurred to me. Do you have digital tv and flat screens or analog tv and tube type tv? Also, are you in an area where the buildings are built right against each other, or do you have a yard all the way around the building?

Pankaj, if you are going with the plan I emailed you, you need to re-do wall I and J since the door between the closet and the bathroom has to be about 26 in. below between wall B.

Pankaj, if you can't move the entrance door to the bedroom, you can't have deep storage on the wall where the television is. If you leave the door as it is now, I would recommend that you put only 6 in. deep shelves on it.

Actually Pankaj, if you really like the shelves, I think you can install some on the wall without moving the door but the shelves should not be more than 12 in. deep. You will need walk around them but not by much. However, if you do that, you have to make sure that you don't put shelves behind the door because you won't be able to open the door completely.

Actually, Pankaj, I was looking at it now and I was trying to understand something: I saw in the other discussion that your bathroom size is 11'-8" x 8'-0". I drew the bathroom in this discussion as 12'-0" x 9'-0". I can make the changes it is no problem but what I don't understand is that you say that the bathroom is 8 feet wide and that the window is 8 ft wide but when I look at the window, the window is much smaller than 8 ft.

Pankaj, I just realized that initially you told us that the bathroom area was 12'-0" x 9'-0" and later you mentioned that it was 11'-8" x 8'-0". In the last floor plan, I forgot to change the bathroom with the new dimensions. Below is the floor plan with the correct dimensions for the bathroom. The bedroom is ok, I drew it 19'-2" x 12'-6". The new layout does not change the way things are placed. Everything still fit. The only difference is that the vanity is now 4'-4" long instead of 4'-8". and the toilet is closer to the shower by 1'-0".
Can you give me the lengths of the walls K and L. They are the walls between the vanity and the shower area. I will send you the new layout once you give me the length of these 2 walls.
