  1. Staircase

Staircase is the backbone of a Duplex home, but here are no hard and bound rules regarding how to use it. Hence, you can play around the staircase while designing the project. The staircase can be constructed from outside to intact the privacy of ground floor. On the other hand if both the floors are to be a part of the same house then the stairs will be inside the house. You can go further by having more than one stair case.

2. View-Point

If your Duplex home is constructed at a special place then you can customise your home space according to that place. For example, if there’s a mountain, open landscape, or even an ocean. First decide from where you can get a perfect view of the ocean or the mountain. Once you decide this special spot, your space can be structured along with it. Ideally, you can have a huge window at this point or can have an open-dining area. The idea is to increase the beauty of your home using the natural settings.

For your Duplex home, you have to decide what the most important part of the house is. It can be the living room or the kitchen. This room is the center of your home. All other parts are designed around it and it is made sure that you enjoy your time in this room. Generally this place has the best decorations and designs. The theme of the house is based on this room.
