Floor plan design single-family house with around 150 m²

Upstairs I also created such "niches" for wardrobes, I think it really looks much better than placing a wardrobe against a straight wall.

Although it's fiddly when building walls, at least it is cheap to implement in non-load-bearing walls.

Instead, doors and window sills are planned in abundance. "Standing space" is supposedly needed. It is needed too, but not everywhere :)

From what I remember, you have many walls and many discussions about walls… and one window.

That's right, you really don't need that much standing space... I've realized that now as well. You probably just overthink it beforehand.

Yes exactly... we have very many walls. Back then, other things were important to us and yes, we often ignored warnings in that regard. I just found it difficult to plan something you can't really grasp. You only notice many things after living in a house for a few weeks. Such a short stay in a show house is unfortunately not always very enlightening.

Maybe one should just be more daring. We were very cautious, were unfortunately not well advised by our house seller and architect, but we also had our own rigid opinions.

Of course, one can live well in our current house too, but a lot of potential was wasted...

There is indeed fiddling involved in wall construction, but at least it can be realized cheaply in non-load-bearing walls.

I don't know what you mean, even our zigzag wall in the living room, which is load-bearing, did not cause any additional effort or extra costs during realization... I don't think it's that difficult nowadays to create a corner in a wall...

Having a windowsill on the sofa's back instead of a floor-to-ceiling window, by the way - apart from the docking point for the later conservatory - is not a mistake.

Of course, that's not a mistake and certainly has its justification. I just think that it simply looks much more modern but also "open" to have a large window behind the sofa (preferably larger than the usual 2m double casement doors that are often planned there). Even better if the sofa is pulled away a bit and not placed directly against it. But that's exactly one of those things that is a matter of experience, which I would have liked to know from others' experiences. I would now advise anyone planning a floor plan to consider a large floor-to-ceiling window, preferably >= 3m, behind the sofa.

Moving away from the space is also necessary. It really costs money and square meters.

You also need to leave space. That really costs money and square meters

yes, unfortunately that's true. But sometimes 30-40 cm are enough to at least visually align the sofa with a floor-to-ceiling window.
