Floor plan optimization living area

Was the fireplace always planned there? No.
I find it completely unnecessary in the corner. That’s something they used to do with tiled stoves... whatever the case may be. I think V2 is better for everyday life. I would place the sofa at the top of the plan and the TV on the bottom wall of the plan. If there is still a need for a cabinet, there is space on the left side of the plan. What do you have so much of that you need to store it in the living room?

I also prefer V2. For me, the dining table belongs to the kitchen and not the living room.
I think the sofa is well placed. I like it when the backrest serves as a kind of separation.
In V1, the dining table would be way too far from the kitchen for me.

Putting the TV on the wall at the lower floor plan will be difficult. We actually don’t want to change the windows anymore,

? You have a wall there. That’s exactly where I would place the TV.

Hello everyone,

we have further developed both versions of the floor plan a bit. Unfortunately, we still have difficulties making a decision....

My thoughts on the two versions:

Version 1:

The living and dining area is very pleasing. In my opinion, it offers good options for arranging a lounge area and furniture. Unfortunately, the cardinal directions do not seem to be optimally used; the living room has southwest-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, but it is quite deep (which means little to no reflection on the TV). The kitchen is spacious but feels somewhat isolated. Also, we somehow find it a pity to have the office facing south towards the garden.

Version 2:

We really like the south-facing kitchen and dining area. The garden is fully in view and the south side is filled with lively rooms. In my opinion, the office in the north is better suited for working than in the south. The living room is also wonderfully light-flooded because it is not as deep as in V1 and has large southwest-facing window fronts. Overall, the cardinal directions seem to be used very well here. Unfortunately, the options for arranging furniture in the living room worry us a lot. A large lounge area easily stretches about 3.5m, but the room is only 4.9m → with a sideboard it will already be quite tight. We also don’t like that the sofa does not stand against a wall, and placing it in front of the windows would be a pity given the large window fronts and the view. Despite the possible pantry, the floor plan feels as if it has less storage space.

The TV is then quite sideways, don't you think? Depending on the position of the fireplace, you have to orient the TV quite strongly.
