Now I just heard from my partner, when we were standing in the almost finished house, that she would like to go directly from the kitchen to the living room without a big "detour" around the dining table. I think a small table would work, but when it’s extended and more guests are there, it’s really difficult to get to the sliding door, which unfortunately is located where the table also stands. There must be at least 1 m of free space to still easily reach the sliding door, I think. She was quite shocked by that. In hindsight, I might have placed the piano somewhere else earlier, for example not made the fireplace so big, and instead made the sliding door wider (e.g. 3.5–4 m) or installed an additional door next to the sofa. I just hope it doesn’t get too tight around the dining table, what do you think? I thought about placing the table about 1 m away from the sliding door, crosswise to the window as drawn in the picture, but then the passage between the chair and the piano is already quite narrow... or are there maybe better options for placing it? We also considered a round table... Unfortunately, the architect didn’t point out this problem to us and it wasn’t really one here in the forum either, maybe in the end it isn’t one, but my partner has driven me a bit crazy over it now... Attached again is the floor plan of the ground floor with the "problem"
