Floor plan proposals - What works, what doesn't?

I find a wardrobe at the other end of the house somehow pointless.

It definitely works under the stairs, right?

well, I am anyway an advocate for stairs that start only after the [Garderobe] and not before, that way you don’t carry as much dirt up the stairs and don’t have to walk in socks through melted snow and grit

[DRESSING ROOMS are not for me... everything gets dusty there.. I have a three-meter wardrobe and that's enough for me... I know everyone wants a dressing room... but I can easily do without it..]

Strike out DRESSING ROOMS and replace with CLOSET ROOMS. Of course, you shouldn't do without closets, no sensible person hangs their clothes openly in the room. The idea behind a closet/dressing room is that you don't disturb each other when you get up at different times in the morning (which is why locked closet rooms somewhat miss their purpose). You make the bedroom smaller and instead have a small extra room with closets. It's a small luxury, nice to have if you can afford it (financially and space-wise), but of course it works just fine without it. Then the bedroom is larger and you just put the closets in there. And to avoid disturbing the partner who can sleep longer, you take the clothes for the next day out of the closet the evening before and leave them in the hallway or bathroom. And exactly that you can save yourself with a well-planned closet room. You quietly sneak into said room, close the bedroom door, your partner can continue to sleep peacefully and you can calmly pick out the clothes for the day. As I said, a nice scenario, but that doesn't work if the only access to the closet room runs through the bedroom.

Personally, I also find a bedroom without huge closet walls visually much better, a closet wall doesn't exactly make a room more homely. Sure, it works, but it's just nicer otherwise.

I wouldn’t want my cabinets to be open either, but in a dressing room you can put cabinets with doors just like in the bedroom. As Climbee says, it's also about not disturbing your partner if you have different waking times. I lay out my clothes in the evening for the next day, but since I am very weather-dependent, sometimes I need something else from the wardrobe in the morning (or I forgot something), so I sneak as quietly as possible (our door also creaks horribly) into the room and try to find the right thing in my wardrobe without the light. If you don’t want that, you have to do it properly with the dressing room: from the hallway into the dressing room and from there into the bedroom, not the other way around, or even no walk-through room at all but both rooms have their own access from the hallway. Everything else is nonsense, I would say.

But you usually know beforehand whether I have to get up constantly during the night while the partner is sleeping... or whether the times are somewhat suitable... from my circle of acquaintances, maybe 5% of the people are like that... therefore, I have always found the argument about sneaking out and not waking the partner very overrated... especially since the alarm clock ringing should already be the most disturbing...
