Hi! I would like to seek for your advice for the following questions:

1) whether to put a divider between the living room and the dining room or not?

2) im thinking of mounting the TV in the stair/ exterior wall of the stairs, is it a good idea? Any other ideas on where to put the tv?

3) if the powder room will be put on the opposite side on where it is in the picture, making it like a divider between the living room and the dining room, will it be a good thing or not? What can we do with the space below the stairs?

4) what shape of kitchen is perfect for this small space? U-shaped? L-shaped? With island? Please advice.


Thanks in advance! Hope you can help me with this.

By the way, there will be a lanai at the back of the house.
