So, again about the utility room. You mentioned something about the dryer. Such a dryer warms up a room well. In our case so much that I hang jackets next to it to dry. You don't want to keep food there. So either you plan enough storage space in the kitchen (pull-out pantry units are pure space miracles), or you get yourself a small extra room. You can comfortably collect the trash in the kitchen. We treated ourselves to electric trash bins. If you take them out regularly, they don't smell at all. Since the way to the bin outside is short, you're more likely to do it than if you live on the 5th floor. My parents keep the yellow recycling bag in the utility room. I get annoyed every time we're there and I want to throw away just a little thing and still have to walk through half the house. But always consider general storage options as well. For example, in the attic. As a homeowner, quite a lot accumulates there. From the cushions of the garden couch to the sun umbrella or the Christmas decorations (some homeowners get a taste for it and decorate the house in the most colorful lights). A very "hot" tip: Pay attention to sufficient shading for your bungalow! Especially with large windows, the roof overhang should be big enough so that the sun doesn't shine in directly. In summer, you will love your cool house! The cold roof also insulates downward really well.
