room is identical to this..... but not grey

Thank you for this and for attaching the photo to demonstrate! Lovely idea and would be ideal in the room. I’m not sure what you mean by extending the curtains? I was wondering about adding a recessed curtain rail and having it in an L shape to fit the other window too. Or maybe curtains on the large window and a Roman blind on the smaller one? I appreciate you taking the time to help, thank you again

Hello, I am hoping to get some inspirational ideas for our new extension please! We have engaged with an architect but we are not happy with what is being proposed - we need an en-suite in the downstairs bedroom to future proof our home. The new living space is required as our kids get older and have friends dropping in / for our son to ultimately live in, as he has an intellectual disability / potentially for us to use later on as we get older and can't manage stairs. We only need a kitchenette with island as opposed to a huge kitchen (I am not good at imagining space but presume it is large as it can hold a 6-seater dining table). I am also concerned about furniture placement in the living space and the tight side access at our boundary fence. We are happy to 'shrink' the room by moving the building and doorway level to where the kitchen starts. We have a tight budget so want to maximise what we can do. We would like an additional bedroom upstairs for us but I think the bathroom and wardrobe are over-sized. We also got a picture of the elevations and it does not look good. We are considering making them smaller so it is a 'staggered' two-storey extension but will this add to the cost? We are in Ireland and costs have rocketed! Apologies for the long-winded intro but all ideas would be very much appreciated - thank you!

Personally i dont think either of the options on the table will work. You cant fit a 1.6m space behind the bed because the space between the foot of the bed and the window will be too small. I’m not sure the joiners suggestion works either because the dividing wall will visually cut the window so it will feel odd. i think that you should be considering expanding into bedroom 2
