Floor plan of new single-family house: Are window/door/interior wall size/arrangement okay?

Regarding the bedroom: at the moment we have a 140x200 bed and are satisfied with the size, it could be placed anywhere in the bedroom. But a larger bed would also fit, with the headboard facing the bathroom or east. Is that what you meant, ypg?

1.40 might fit, but honestly: the older you get, the more you want a bit more lying space for yourself, sometimes gladly without physical contact. Besides, from the age of 40 or when sick, you no longer get out of bed sprightly. So you need some space around the bed. Certainly not 1.20, but 70/80 would not be bad. In your case, there is also a chimney getting in the way. I don’t want to ruin your mood, but a bit more brainpower surely wouldn’t have hurt the house. I find some corners good, but little rooms are no substitute for comfortable living space. A lounge room should have at least 8 sqm these days... with a new build, that should be achievable. Then I just reread your initial thread and have to realize that you can’t accommodate your dining table. This is something that should be planned before the building application, but it seems you didn’t do that, instead just took the "old" plan because from the perspective of a (grown-up) child it just looks great.

Regarding the door, maybe you can’t really see it, but it should open into the kitchen where this arch is penciled in. The living room wall should be continuous up to the part that juts into the kitchen. Would a sliding door between the kitchen and living room make sense? Hmm...

Regarding the wardrobe: planned are shoe cabinets as drawn and built-in wardrobes/space for outerwear in the utility room. That should be enough, right? I’d rather not reduce the kitchen because of the wardrobe, since the kitchen is “more important” than walking a few extra steps.

Yes, you can see very little: if it says utility room, I don’t assume a wardrobe – unless you reveal what you or you guys have in mind there. (It is documented textually, but I didn’t have it in mind anymore.) How the kitchen is laid out or what you have in mind is also unclear... Furniture everything to scale. Actually, a table should fit.

A common room should nowadays be at least 8sqm...

In small home offices, people often assume: I sit there alone, and the space is absolutely enough to turn around. But the fact that a room also needs to have breathable air is too little considered. The consequence is then more frequent airing (or, where this happens automatically, a higher air throughput compared to the other rooms). In this respect, a "small room with a window" is not really enough. I find it amusing when this occurs simultaneously with bathrooms, where you walk four meters from the toilet to the sink ;-)

Hello,

a 2x2 m bed as it is would actually hardly fit. If you moved the door about 30 cm to the left, the bed would fit. That’s a good point, thanks :)
The fireplace (gas fireplace) could possibly be routed inside the wall (there are those hollow bricks) or maybe moved to the other side of the protrusion.

The "Kämmerchen" is probably the study room. The architect called it that and I didn’t rename it; it is really tiny and only exists because otherwise there would have been empty hallway space. It is planned that I put the laundry sorting bags there and the ironing board, also the vacuum cleaner. Then it is stored away and I can close the door.

Contrary to appearances, we have already given it some thought: on the ground floor the living room should of course be on the south side with the terrace; the kitchen should be on the west terrace, which is why it ended up where it is. The corner near the office downstairs had to be there because of the building line, and we also wanted a separate room downstairs for PC and such. The storage on the ground floor will be used, as said, as a cloakroom (jackets, hats, bags...) as well as a storeroom (vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, possibly a freezer?).

Upstairs all rooms (except the storage closet) actually have a nice size I thought and you should be able to fit everything you need. I’ve now downloaded a program for planning, it should be easier than paper and pencil...

Regarding the kitchen I’ve tried a few ideas, but nothing yet where I say that fits. At the beginning I thought of a G- or U-shaped kitchen, but somehow that looked cramped... I’m now at the L-variant. Right now we don’t have a seating place in the kitchen, but there is a wooden table in the living room. In the house I would like to have a seating place in the kitchen, but I don’t know if the wooden table belongs in the kitchen... There would be space for it, but it would be too oversized. But if there is already a small table in the kitchen, the wooden table would have to stand somewhere in the room, and I can’t quite imagine that yet.

ypg, what would be more brain for the house? What would you have done differently?

Draw your desired furniture layout into the floor plan. Often there are shifts there. Take a two-meter bed and I would plan the children's rooms relatively the same size. I would plan the kitchen by the terrace. It means shorter distances. Why put two dining areas in an open living space?

It is wrong to think that you are faster with a program when you want to move furniture than with paper and pencil. Simply draw the floor plan in 1:100 scale, make the pieces of furniture out of graph paper, and casually furnish the floor plan with the graph paper furniture. It goes much faster and is much more flexible. Just as a side note.

Kitchen: I am and remain a fan of the two-row kitchen solution without dead corners and with plenty of work surface. Two full seating areas in an open living area is a no-go. At most, plan a few stools that can be pushed under the kitchen countertop of the (half) island, no bar solution, it just takes away countertop space. Kitchen near the terrace makes sense (small thought: It’s no fun always having to walk across the whole room when grilling if salt/ketchup/bread is missing or new drinks are needed).

Simply draw the floor plan at a 1:100 scale, craft the furniture pieces with graph paper, and casually furnish the floor plan with the graph paper furniture.

I don’t see this anywhere as an idea or advice?
I am always for graph paper and furniture that you cut out as a template. Then you can also sometimes capture the ideas photographically. The floor plan is dimensioned and then you see what is left over for walkways ;)

Regarding the terrace: full agreement.

I don’t see at all in the plans how guests get to you.... is this even a new plan or your parents’ old one?
