But you do realize that with rigid ideas you certainly cannot achieve any optimization, right? I mean, if you already want to change the upper floor, why don’t you just include the attic as well? Apart from that: What is the inexperienced standard homeowner supposed to imagine by a parents' living room? Is that the everyday living room, while the normal living room is only used "when guests come"?The attic is initially supposed to be one large studio; on the one hand, it will house the parents' living room and on the other, the home office area.
The long room is just under 6m long... The attic or studio is partially finished on move-in, there is already a full bathroom, but we haven’t put up a wall yet that will later separate the master bedroom. The office will be upstairs at first, in the future we’ll have to see whether it should stay upstairs (there’s enough space) or move downstairs into the small children’s room (then: guest room). The kids are a boy and a girl and the older one will soon be starting school after moving in, so sharing a room is probably only possible for a short time. The idea of later combining the two small rooms into one large one and using the “excess” of the long room as a closet or dressing room is great, we’ll definitely keep that in mind. We definitely need a guest room somewhere, since the whole family including grandma and grandpa live far away...Questions: how long is the long room? Will the attic also be converted right away? Can it offer an office besides a bedroom? Will it also have a bathroom? Maybe consider whether the two children's rooms can be combined (same genders?) Given their close ages, the kids could probably share a large room at first?! Or provide a drywall partition, so later you can make one room out of two and create a storage room. Or however you think.
we bought a terraced house from a developer and now have to finalize the floor plan for the room layout.
Right away: The layout of the house is far from our desired expectations, as is the character as a terraced house
Thank you, we will definitely take that into account for the technical planning. There are definitely far too few sockets planned in the basic design; you can never have enough of them...So at the beds and technical places there must be at least triple sockets. So you can understand it… table lamp, alarm clock, Alexa, mobile phone, laptop, monitor, TV, CD player, etc. freely combinable. Double sockets are simply too few or you have a power strip at every socket place.
Well, these aren't really our rigid ideas, but rather what we've thought of so far ;) Although we would definitely like to use the upper area as a parents' area, since the roof terrace is located there and we don't want to just let the kids have it without a fight :cool: "Parents' living room" means that there will be a TV, wine cabinet, and other stuff, and we plan to spend our evenings there after work, while the living area downstairs with open kitchen, dining room, sofa, and terrace access is intended to serve as a (chaotic :eek:) family area (without TV etc.). I've attached the (very rough) draft for the furnishing of the living-dining area on the ground floor.But you do realize that with rigid ideas you of course can't achieve any optimization, right? I mean, if you already want to change the attic floor, why don't you just include the top floor as well? Apart from that: What is the average standard homeowner supposed to imagine under a parents' living room? Is that the everyday living room, while the regular living room is only used "when guests come"?
