Where is right, he is right.
We don't have more storage options at the moment and we are doing just fine :)
Do you live in a house? Are you already collecting tools and flower pots? And how much sqm of living space do you have decorated?
Needs grow when you give them space.
Storage space is not or hardly visible on the floor plan, that's right, but as you already said, the attic serves this purpose.
Suddenly the kid wants to make jam from the strawberries in the garden... I'd like to see the one who moves a box of jars back and forth from the attic. The hallway doesn't exactly offer comfortable space to just leave the stairs standing around.
Additionally, the office is also used as storage
I already mentioned it: the office is quite small for that. It may all work well on the plan, but you do furnish with more than just the main furniture. We have a 14 sqm office with a 3-meter closet for change jackets, file folders, and hobby stuff, and the room could well be a bit bigger so that you can spread out beside the PC with the sewing machine.
People change over the course of their lives, and by decluttering you create space, but it doesn't become less.
I think it's a matter of taste. The stairs
But it's quite impractical. But I also think it's okay. Well, not really.
Toilet
As a guest, you can apparently see into the toilet when sitting at the dining table.
Is a hallway width of 1.2m too little?
Yep. Even our terraced house had 1.30... and that's why we now have 1.90... 1.30 was no good, it worked against the feel-good factor.
