I also find the cloakroom area too small; it will look unattractive quickly. With a bit more width there, for example, one could place a closet on the door hinge side and maybe something under the stairs, but that often doesn’t look nice either. I would give honest thought to myself/us there. There are two of us, and that wouldn’t be enough. With a child, dog, etc., the entrance quickly becomes a mess. I wouldn’t let myself be tormented by a desired exterior appearance there either but would want to feel welcomed by a pleasant view in the entrance area. I would swap shower and toilet in the guest bathroom; then it fits; having the door open outwards is acceptable if it doesn’t work otherwise, but so far, this is only a plan. The kitchen is also probably too small; the door to the pantry wastes space and money uselessly, which could be used to install tall kitchen cabinets. The kitchen as currently drawn looks nice but is an unnecessarily cramped box, in which I see no advantages. Currently, the way to the kitchen is long, then even longer around the open door, and then even longer into the pantry unless groceries are passed through the window from outside into the pantry... In this or a possibly redesigned kitchen, I would give a wide window above the sink area; above it, it’s also wider. Lighting in the hallway will be tight; therefore, a kitchen redesign might provide possibilities or a wider entrance area with more light admission. Somehow, the space between living and dining rooms seems somewhat unmotivatedly large or hardly usable to me, but maybe you already have a furnishing idea for that. I would consider this broadly and concretely now anyway. Currently, you enter the living room and stand in front of an unusable space, looking half at a wall and half at windows. One could still bring in some imagination here and also not let oneself be pressured by the exterior view. Anyway, in the dining area and possibly also the living area, I would favor wider window surfaces only on the cream side. It may be picky, but for a real representation, I also want my furniture and my desired use to be drawn to scale and situationally appropriate. In this respect, the sofa is completely wrongly placed. This way, your sofa would stand with the long side directly in front of the window front. Is that how you want it and watch TV there? If that is a sliding door to the terrace, I would certainly save those costs and opt for a “normal” hinged door with the option of opening the second side as well (I can’t think of the right term for it). We, as former sliding door owners, deliberately and gladly left them out in the new build. The upstairs bedroom looks as if it just happened that way and now someone is trying to draw something pleasing. Floor-to-ceiling windows there are probably again due to the exterior view and out of place. I would have the upstairs bathroom redesigned once. You enter through a tunnel directly facing the throne, a no-go. Almost 13 sqm is huge for a bathroom, in my opinion too large, and then a narrow shower. 90 cm would be a good size. Once the unmotivated entrance tunnel with the stylish washbasins in the room’s center is gone, it can become a nice bathroom that could also give some space to the children’s room. Balcony, as mentioned, is a nice idea but visually does not fit there, and the children already have nicely sized rooms and would only need the balcony to fool around. If the balcony and some other things were rationalized away without making the house less beautiful in its function, it might also be enough for the truly stylistically fitting bricks instead of trying to spruce up the house facade with expensive, unnecessary substitute tools, and if you want bricks, you will find someone to do it. Please don’t misunderstand; I find the house quite good and really functional. However, in my opinion, it is now time to give the whole or the individual areas a bit more attention to detail and, as said, not to deal with unnecessarily expensive substitute satisfactions (balcony), because actually, you imagined a chic brick house, which I absolutely understand. Don’t let yourselves be pressured, as one previous speaker already said. That’s how it is.
