Floor plan of a single-family house, feedback

Friends of ours would like to get rid of the "Dummrumstehwand" and would no longer plan it.

I am glad that we insisted on the beams in our planning. Sometimes we have up to 20 people at family celebrations, recently even over 30. I would not have dreamed of that 8 years ago. 2-3 times a year the large open space is bursting at the seams. The Christmas tree is there, the children, space for the gift-giving, dining tables are needed and the mobility of some is currently also limited (that's why the celebrations are always at our place). At the end of April, my husband said we would build a living room in the attic only for us as a core family, and downstairs two huge dining tables and my grandfather’s couch would be placed. In the meantime, everything was moved aside to practice a jump rope and a cheerleading choreography and parkour – I’m glad that starting in December I can go back to the daycare gym for such things. And no, I would never have dreamed of practicing choreographies with girls.

Acquaintances of ours would like to get rid of the "dumb standing around wall" and would no longer plan it.

With my sweetheart, the dumb standing around wall consists only of a rolling cart under the WLAN TV. This keeps the dance floor clear when the TV is off. With a ceiling projector, you can take it a step further and simply roll up the screen. In some households, television entertainment still influences the room design as if its quality could justify that – but those days are long gone.

The "Dummrummstehwand" is a feature that is very preferred here. I already wrote that the living room door is wrong. But luckily, only we have to like the wall.

That’s true. You are the standard. We don’t have such a wall and have to realize that the possibilities to hang art are so limited that we either can’t buy anything more or have to “change.” We have not planned space for an archive and I also think art doesn’t belong there. It’s not that I wish for such a wall, but I can definitely see its advantages.

that I cause while cooking or tidying up when others want to watch something in peace.

Alternative to the wall: use wireless headphones with noise cancelling for enjoying TV.
